Re: no jobs!!!!!!!!
When did you start sending out your resume? It's pretty late now, most schools already filled there positions. Don't get upset it's a hard time now.. Maybe you can sub this way you have an in at a disrtict. Have you looked on Olas?
Good luck to you

Im in the same boat. I sent out resume's in Feb/March and have continously looked on OLAS and NY Times since then and NOTHING.
i started sending them out the same time as you. im thinking of resending a second batch again. ive tried OLAS, nytimes (monster) word of mouth, hitting up all my contacts. EVERYTHING.. im a good teacher.. someone has to want me!!!!  
dammmmn you economy!!

Re: no jobs!!!!!!!!
honestly, i don't know anyone who has been hired in the last few years without experience and right out of school. all of them subbed/TAed/did leave replacements for at least 2 years before they broke into the system. my sister teaches HS social studies on LI and said the market is flooded with people trying to get SS jobs.
you may have to look into doing that to get your feet in the door. good luck!

Re: no jobs!!!!!!!!
I've been teaching at a LI district for 12 years now and from what I've expierenced and seen my district does not interview (unless really sure they have a bunch of spots to fill) until August. The economy sux this year and we had to let go teachers. However (this doesn't help you too much at my elementary level- but this can be true for many districts and subject areas) there are several teachers going out on maternity leave in Sept that they will interview for in Aug. Good luck and don't give up hope!

If I thought things were bad before, they are really bad now. I had to take a job in a private school so I had something.
I know they are not the greatest, but charter schools are always hiring.
Good Luck and hang in there.

Re: no jobs!!!!!!!!
If I were you I would also apply for TA jobs. They are a foot in the door and you may get health benefits.
Also look into charter schools and private/Catholic schools.
NYC currently has a hiring freeze.
