hmm maybe age is an issue. very strange you havent landed anything...

what is your subject area? how many dependents? are you completely open to location?

Wow, you are/were in a great position for landing a job. High level math and science AND passing your exams. I bet you could have got a better location if you waited a bit longer.

I am doing middle grades math, not as desirable but hopefully I will find something. If not it's back to Asia to teach ESL until the next hiring season kicks back up in Nov.

Marieh,

I plan to be finished with the TR program by spring. Interesting that you secured a job without having completed the program. Did you atleast complete and pass the actual licensing exams? What is your grade level and subject area btw?

Can you break down your job search a bit more in depth? When did you begin? What avenues did you use? Did you try tier 2 and 3 schools in more desirable locations?

I thought I heard Middle East and China where decent for getting jobs as newbie teachers. I would not go to North Africa or Central Asia.
