Job Opportunnitites

Looking at the job opportunities I found out that experience ranges from 5 to 9 years in general. I purposely looked for jobs that I see achievable right now and jobs that I would like to have in the future as experience shows up gradually. Some of the jobs that I can have right now are as a pre-school teacher it the parent child centers of my sate. They actually have a center manager opening in my town but I need to have at least 3 years of experience. I would also like to work for the Zero to Three Organization but they didn’t have “normal” small jobs, they only wanted seniors to fulfill the positions as: senior program associate, financial analyst, and writer trainer specialist. But the headstart program in my sate, have many good ones such as   pre-school teacher. I had a hard time searching for jobs that best identified my preferences and often had to be transferred to different departments, which was so annoying. But the one that encourages me the most are the postings that are in my state, as my daughters grow. 

Exploring roles

I had previously applied for a job as a center manager in a local head start program but a minimum of 2 two years of experience with preschool children was needed.  I wanted to work in this center because when I went to do my observations I witnessed how they focus on the natural aspect of early childhood education. Parents were interacting with their children and teachers were being understandable with children. I also liked how they empower parents and take them to local and state meetings.

My other choice is as a pre-school teacher in a town 45 min away from mine, the pay is good but the feeling being 45 min away from my daughters just doesn’t feel  right for me. The third choice is to work in a pre-school center where I see a potential job there since it will be only for district employees. Where I live is a small town, there’s not much centers or organizations I could take a look at.  I am currently a first grade teacher and barely exploring my territory. I feel happy, but I’m definitely looking forward to move up in the scale and I know that what I need most is experience, only time will give me that.
