The Success Principles How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
If there’s anyone qualified to write a self-help book on success, it’s Jack Canfield, who’s worked his way from scraping by as a teacher to holding a Guinness world record for having seven books simultaneously on The New York Times® Best Sellers list.
As a coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, he’s sold more than 80 million books, and now lives “in a beautiful California estate” with his days of dining on spaghetti and tomato paste long behind him. “All you have to do is decide what it is you want, believe you deserve it, and practice the principles in this book,” he says, and success is yours.
Expert Resumes for Teachers and Educators
As an educator, you no longer have to look to the school system for employment opportunities. There is now a wealth of for-profit training companies, tens of thousands of companies that employ training professionals, and
unlimited opportunities as a self-employed trainer and coach. There are thousands and thousands of positions with the more traditional school-based systems, colleges, and universities. What this means is that there are unlimited employment opportunities, and that’s great news for you!
To take advantage of all of these opportunities, you must first develop a powerful, performance-based resume. To be a savvy and successful job seeker, you must know how to communicate your qualifications in a strong and effective written presentation. Sure, it’s important to let employers know essential details, but a resume is more than just your job history and academic credentials. A winning resume is a concise yet comprehensive document that gives you a competitive edge in the job market.
Creating such a powerful document is what this book is all about.
Even though in the United States teachers are in high demand, teacher candidates are still striving for the plum positions in their specific area of expertise, in the district of their choice, and in a school that meets their requirements for location, student profile, and commute distance from their homes. So, even though there are plenty of jobs, it’s still important to know how to land the specific position of your choice, instead of being placed in the least-desirable area and school within the district.
Also, in spite of the teacher shortage, the job search process itself has continued to become more complicated with each year that passes. Today the job search process has become far more structured, formal, and intimidating, and the teacher candidate is faced with a dizzying array of buzzwords: mock interviews, demonstration videos, teacher portfolios, school surveys, networking, and role-playing.
Our goal in this book is to simplify the process for you by explaining every step, from the application to the interview itself. Best of all, we have included hundreds of fresh, relevant bits of advice gleaned from interviews
conducted across the country.
Meg Cabot - The Princess Diaries
"She's just a New York City girl living with her artist mom…
NEWS FLASH: Dad is prince of Genovia. (So that's why a limo meets her at the airport!)
DOWNER: Dad can't have any more kids. (So there's no heir to the throne.)
SHOCK OF THE CENTURY: Like it or not, Mia Thermopolis is prime princess material.
THE WORST PART: Mia must take princess lessons from her dreaded grandmère, the dowager princess of Genovia, who thinks Mia has a thing or two to learn before she steps up to the throne.
Well, her father can lecture her until he's royal–blue in the face about her princessly duty—no way is she moving to Genovia and leaving Manhattan behind.
But what's a girl to do when her name is PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GRIMALDI THERMOPOLIS RENALDO?"
