How to: HOW I GOT MY TEACHING JOB
A nairalander by the username "snowden9" narrated how he successfully
ejected himself out of the unemployed pool and choose the best
teaching opportunity for himself.
Below is the write-up from him:
HOW I GOT MY TEACHING JOB
This might be a lengthy piece but I think it's worth the read.
I called it 'Operation 30'. Yes, I gave it a name. What it actually
meant was that I was gonna submit 30 letters of application attached
with 30 CVs to 30 schools. Hectic. Yes. Challenging. Yes. But
achievable, Hell Yea.
So i drew my route. i practically stay in the middle of a 15km or more
community. So, I told myself that on that particular monday, I'll take
the left hand side of the road and anywhere i stop, I'll continue on
Tuesday, take the right hand side of the road on Wednesday and
anywhere i get tired and stop, I'll continue on Thursday. Then finally
I'll use the friday to go to all the schools within my estate. And
yes, i did as planned and submitted to 28 schools.
Out of the 28, i had about 15 interviews and while they where
interviewing and screening me and also telling me about their
payments, i, in turn was screening the schools i don't want due to
their payment or conditions attached cos i know i had lots of choices
to make. I screened down to the very last 3 (all 3 paying between 40
to 45k monthly with doable conditions) rechecked the conditions again,
considered the closeness to my house and finally made my choice, and i
have to say, it really was the right one.
To summarize, I'll advice you to invest time and a little cash like i
did to get what you want so you don't stay idle come the next session
in September. schools are vacating next week so if you can, just
sacrifice your next week to submit your application to at least 15 or
20 schools (the more the merrier) around you or with less
transportation so you'll have a lot to choose from. All you need is an
envelope pack(25 pieces for 100 naira), A4 paper or fullscap paper to
write the letter (at 250 naira) and photocopy the cv(at 10 naira each)
and then you're good to go.
Now i can say boldly, I'm out of the house now. Are you?
