The hunt for a teaching job usually consists of the following steps:

• identifying position vacancies;
• determining if one's qualifications approximate those being sought;
• submitting cover letters, resumes, and/or electronic applications that win interview appointments;
• presenting one's best self in the interview;
• writing follow-up letters expressing appreciation and continued interest; and
• promptly replying to job offers.
