#181: Stop Applying to 30 Teacher Jobs: You're Doing it Wrong

If you’ve been applying to 20+ districts and hearing crickets, this episode is for you. Every year, I get messages from new teachers saying they’ve applied everywhere and still aren’t getting interviews. And the truth is… that strategy might be the problem. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why the “apply everywhere” advice is rooted in fear The biggest mistake new teachers make when job searching Why being new is actually your advantage How mass applying is hurting your chances What to do instead to land a job that actually aligns with you I’ll also share my personal story of only applying to 3 schools and getting multiple job offers. This is your permission to stop applying out of desperation and start applying with alignment.
