If you keep track of vacancies in the Education Gazette, you may have noticed a slight increase in the number of primary and secondary vacancies being advertised. This is because were approaching job hunting season for school teachers, and in September/October the number of teaching vacancies will skyrocket. If youre still completing your university course or are in the midst of a busy relief teaching season, it can be hard to get your head into a job hunting space. However, any preparation you put in now will pay off down the track. We want to ensure that student teachers and new grad teachers are getting the best head start for their teaching careers. Heres how were planning to support you online over the next few months: - Our ECE and Primary/Secondary teaching CV templates are available to all NZ-trained student teachers and recent grads. To get one just private message our Facebook page with your email address and your sector. - Well be covering a range of job-hunting topics on our company blog, which you can read here (buff.ly/YnmNtg). Our past blog post topics include interview techniques, a cover letter Q&A, where to find teaching jobs and tips on teacher registration. - You can private message us at any time with a question related to your job hunt and well get back to you as soon as we can. If youd like us to go really in depth with your question in a blog post, simply mark the question as an Ask EP question in your private message or email [email protected]. - Well continue to hold our monthly Facebook Live Chats with a different recruitment consultant each month. Well also start hosting weekly Friday Forums on our page where you can get together and talk with other student teachers and BTs about how your job hunts are going. - Well be hosting another Job Find Webinar (featuring special guests) in early October. Were really looking forward to the next few months, and cant wait to hear your success stories of winning awesome teaching roles.
