>> Start early and get familiar with the system.
Education is one of those fields where there can be no jobs available one day
and then the next day, that's when the school districts post.
I started looking into career, job searches for education when I was a sophomore.
Just really getting familiar with those databases,
getting familiar with what people are looking for so that I could compile all
of those elements like my resume, my portfolio, everything that went into that.
That was probably the biggest thing that I did before I could actually apply
because it's hard with education.
They want to see your certificate.
And you don't get that until after graduation.
So, take advantage of career fairs.
Take advantage of preliminary interviews.
There are many school districts that just call people in just to get to know you.
And it's really good to be able to give a snapshot of yourself
in maybe five minutes rather than going on for a long time about everything that you know.
