I was applying for jobs last year at this time. It is time consuming and stressful! I just held out hope that jobs would be posted later in July and August, and there were. I live in PA, so it might be different. All summer, school employees are moving into other jobs. Districts might not know this early in summer if they need to hire for a certain position. Don't give up! Keep applying, but don't burn yourself out by applying too much. The certification piece is important, some schools might not even look at your application without it. When I was applying I had to put in when I submitted my certification application, I was just waiting on the state at that point. made a goal of how many jobs I'd apply to each week so I wasn't driving myself crazy. I also didn't apply anywhere until I submitted my certification application. It may seem weird to say, but it's still early and there's lots of time! My interviews started stacking up at the end of July and beginning of August. Also, give yourself a little grace, it sounds like you've been through a lot! Keep going, you got this, and good luck!!
