What you may be up against.

Great article, Eliza. And I assume you saw that the president of NAIS commented?

Excellent article. I'm considering this option. I feared that finding a HS job quickly will be unlikely given that i have no experience teaching teens, so the article basically confirmed my suspicion. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comments. I did see that the president of NAIS commented and it's good to know that not everyone has to use a search firm in order to find employment with a private school.
