Beginning the Job Search

My career goals are to graduate with my Special Education degree and pursue a job as a speical education teacher in an elementary setting. I have been married to my husband for 18 years and followed him around from duty station to duty station as he made his career in the U.S. Navy and I put my education on hold to take care of my child and home. At the age of 40 I went back to college to obtain my degree and start my career as a special education teacher.
I went online to Bossier Parish School systems website, because this is where we will be living once I graduate, to see what jobs were availabe in that area. This seems to be the way of searching for jobs in today's times. When I was younger it was all in scouring the classified ads in the nwewspaper and hitting the pavement but today you find most jobs online.
I chose to apply for all special eduucation jobs available in th Bossier Parish school systems in the elementary schools. This is the age group that I want to taeach and taking a job in any of these schools will futher my career as I get my foot in the door as a teacher starting out. Staring my experiences, my strengths and my willingness to do my best I feel that I have an excellent chance of getting a job in this school system.
