#181: Stop Applying to 30 Teacher Jobs: You're Doing it Wrong
If you’ve been applying to 20+ districts and hearing crickets, this episode is for you.
Every year, I get messages from new teachers saying they’ve applied everywhere and still aren’t getting interviews. And the truth is… that strategy might be the problem.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why the “apply everywhere” advice is rooted in fear
- The biggest mistake new teachers make when job searching
- Why being new is actually your advantage
- How mass applying is hurting your chances
- What to do instead to land a job that actually aligns with you
I’ll also share my personal story of only applying to 3 schools and getting multiple job offers.
This is your permission to stop applying out of desperation and start applying with alignment.
