HELP!! I recently moved to Schaumburg and cannot find work as an elementary school teacher . I am pretty bummed, coming from a wonderful school in Omaha. Now what? Where can I look for jobs that may keep me in the education field, and are full time? How likely is it that I will be able to sub on a regular basis?

Question Two questions:

I am not saying that I can find you a job, but since I am moving form MI and HAVE acquired a job, maybe I can help.
1.) Are you willing to work IN Chicago Public Schools?
2.) Have you looked and (and signed up for) the State of Illinois Board of Ed (ISBE) website? I was getting notices from them about potential jobs in suburb schools.

If I can be on any help, please let me know.

Good Luck!!!
-TM

I wouldn't mind working for CPS, but I thought that I had to live in the city limits (and I don't). How did you get in? I would love to know how you did it. Thanks for the advice!!

This area is very, very competitive. I was told that teachers around here are a "dime a dozen" unless you're in the special education, reading specialist or ELL field. I finally found a teaching job after two years. I just kept applying and finally hand delivered my resume to the district office.

This is a great source:

I'm new to the area, just moved from Omaha as well! Which part of Omaha are you from & what brought you out to Chicagoland?

Best of luck in your job search. If you're in Schamburg, you can easily search in DuPage and Kane counties as well.

We are in the same boat - we haven't moved up there yet but planning to next summer - with or without a teaching job probably. We went from Mi to ATL and now trying to return. Good luck.
