I couldn't get a job right away so I taught at a pre-school for 3 years before going into the public school system.

I student taught in the spring and had a job before school let out in June (different districts).

Re: How long did it take you to get a job? POLL

I got hired while I was student teaching - two separate districts.

I got hired in a Catholic school (not where I wanted to be) Sept 94 after graduating in January of 94 so I subbed for nine months.

From day one, I kept looking for a public school job. It took 3 years of constant searching and I started working in the public school system in Spet of 97.

I got a job immediately in Massachusetts. I never did student teaching because I was able to actually teach in MA and get my certification. Then, when I moved home to NY, I got a job immediately. I got a lot of offers and was able to pick where I wanted to work. But, as a music teacher, had I looked in a public school, I'd probably STILL be looking. Independent schools place a greater emphasis on the arts since that's what "sells" a school, so I had more opportunities to find jobs.

I student taught in the fall... subbed that spring and had a PT position the following school year... that position ended up turning into full time...

Re: How long did it take you to get a job? POLL

I got a job right away(full year) but moved around a bit and got my current tenure track posistion my third year teaching.

I graduated in may and subbed until June. Interviewed during the summer and got a part-time position in a great LI district, but it wasn't tenure track. I interviewed again that summer and got a full-time tenure track position for September again, in the school where I still work.
