Testimonials

"it's been an absolutely priceless tool that I will continue to use well into the future" Jamie M.

"I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the hard work you have put into creating such a wonderful job search guide for teachers. All I've been hearing all year is that there are no jobs in education, and this has been particularly discouraging for me, as I have a Masters in Education as well as a Bachelor of Education. Your guide has inspired me to persevere forward, and for that I am truly grateful." Sharon M.

"When the time came for job applications and interviews, I found the guide to be an excellent resource filled with useful and time saving information. Kudos for this great guide!" Gustavo E.

"This is just a brief note to say thank you for your "What's Next? A job search guide for Teachers". I found it extremely informative and believe-it-or-not inspiring. Inspiring, simply because of the depth and angles of information offered in and around the teaching profession. For a long time I have struggled with decisions regarding my future. As of yet I am still unsure of what direction I would like to take my Education degree, but the information you have offered regarding "career alternatives" has helped me a great deal along this road."
