I just got a call from the school where I applied for teaching job and they set an interview for me on Monday. I was just wondering if they ask me for reference since the people who knew me are from my country. What did u guys do about this??

Any help and tips are welcome.

if you have any references in the usa, then i would put those, but if not just explain your situation and tell that this would be your first job here and that your references are abroad

good luck!!

Hi Sweetpink,

I have my Transcript of records and all certificate licenses from the Philippines evaluated by AACRAO in washington DC course by course and paid 190 dollars.. then i send copy to Georgia professional Commission for evaluation so they give a letter that I am eligible for a NON renewable certificate to each math and science 6-12 . What is your course by the way.?

Hope this help as well.

Perhaps you can offer character references since you can't provide in-country work references. Character references can come from somebody in your church (pastor/priest, lay leader). If you do/did volunteer work, someone from where you worked can also give you a character reference.

I listed my bosses in the Philippines as career references, with their address phone numbers and email address. For character references i listed my cousin and some of my long time friends that resides here in the US.

Check with the school board in your county for the information on certification procedures. They might be easier than you think!

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Hello StillThePrettiest,

I was just interviewed by the principal . She just asked questions based on my resume. Actually, She is still waiting for her teacher who plan to resign to finalized things. Maybe sample lesson will come later. I will be waiting for call this week.
