Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not so great... Comment: If you know ANYTHING about a job search, you've pretty much covered the material in this book before even opening it. This book was the least helpful in my teaching job search. Yes, it talks about where to look for jobs, but I knew that already! Yes, it gives you sample resumes and cover letters, so what? You can google any of that stuff in, and save your money. Yes, it gives you sample interview questions...that's the only valuable thing about it. So it only deserves one star Customer Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL teacher-to-be resource Comment: As other reviews have said, I too was a soon-to-be teacher sending out my resume's and going out on interviews. To be fully prepared, I decided to purchase this book just before my first major round of interviews. It was not only VERY helpful and informative, but the methods and recommendations within it gave me a HUGE heads up in the interview room. I ended up landing a job within 24 hours of an interview. Thank you to these authors. A VERY useful book with extra website information to refer to both before and after you get a job. Customer Rating: Summary: Terrible if you're returning to the profession Comment: I am returning to the profession after an absence. My letters are outdated as are my work samples. I never created a portfolio (that's a new thing) so I don't have one. There are gaps in my resume. This book didn't get me any advice about how to deal with these problems because it's totally geared to the new teacher. I was pretty disappointed with this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Within a week of finishing this book, had two interviews and offered a position! Comment: I have gone on a few interviews and wasn't being offered any positions, which had been quite frustrating. I thought I have to be missing something and going into the interview not fully knowing what to expect. I decided to go see what would be available to help me secure a teaching job. This book has it ALL. It is an easy read with explanations and presentations of numerous topics in everyday language. This book helps you discover your strengths and weaknesses, presents cover letter and resume tips with examples, suggests role-playing an interview, recommends becoming familiar with the school district through their website prior to the interview, offers the top 21 questions most schools will ask with tips of what they are really asking and tips for answering plus 70 other frequently asked questions, conduct during the interview (dress/body language) including questions to avoid, questions to ask the principal or superintendent at the end of your interview, and your follow-up thank you letter. In addition, the appendix provides 20 pages of educational resources. This book gives you everything you need to get yourself ready for those all important interviews. After you read this book, you will feel confident, calm and best of all, well prepared. The perfect book for anyone who is becoming a new teacher, returning to teaching or pursuing the teacher profession through a nontraditional path. Good Luck!!
