Tips for Landing that Perfect Job!

"As far as advice for students getting ready to find jobs, I guess there are a couple of things that would have helped me as I began to prepare for applying. First, I wish that I was a little more proactive in obtaining letters of recommendation from teachers that I associated with during my internships. When it comes to letters of recommendation I really don't think you can have too many of those. Second, I found that it's important to begin applying as soon as jobs are posted. Some of the jobs don't stay open long, and if you miss your window, then you're just out of luck. Last, I would recommend that when applicants answer all of those essay questions on applications, I would strongly suggest that they save the answers to those questions somewhere. I was surprised how often the same essay questions came up from school district to school district."
