Preservice educators and those wanting to transition into education from a different career have tools and experiences that are directly applicable to the classroom. This session will discuss strategies to turn those experiences into a powerful resume when applying for a science teaching position in a K-12 setting. The presenters will also share ways a professional association, like NSTA, can help candidates with their job search.
All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.

Below are comments from individuals who attended the seminar:
- "I really appreciated how the presenters broke down what it means to be an “ideal candidate” and connected it directly to concrete resume and interview strategies. The examples of resume bullets that highlighted impact, equity, and student-centered practice were especially helpful. I also liked the emphasis on growth mindset, professionalism, and using NSTA participation as evidence of ongoing learning."
- "I really enjoyed the different perspectives that having two different presenters with different experiences brought! It was very helpful in seeing what employers are looking for and what a professional should do."
- "The presenters did an amazing job of explaining what goes into interviewing for a teaching position, and I loved getting to hear directly from a principal who interviews people for teaching positions."
A certificate of attendance was deposited into participants' account page for completing the evaluation form at the end of the program.
