Episode 282 - Landing the Baton - Job Hunting Tips for Band Teachers

My first teaching job landed in my lap! It was easy to get. My neighbor was the principal for a small private school. They needed a band teacher, he asked me, I interviewed and was hired. The next three job hunts I had to use “Job Hunt Math.” Thirty applications equals six interviews equals three offers. This worked out pretty much every time. I see so many young people post, “I applied for my dream job. I haven’t heard back. Maybe I should leave the profession.” Maybe you should use Job Hunt Math.
