on job hunting for teachers. The authors cover changes in the
educational marketplace; the new mandates about standardized

mean for applicants; how new certification standards and schools'
requirements affect career changers; the growing acceptance of

additional advice for teachers applying to change schools or
districts.This is also the only guide written by school
