It’s 4 years of college too, right?

There are different kinds of English majors. What you want to do would be English Education. It is also sometimes listed as English/Secondary Certification. Depending on what state you are in, secondary certification will allow you to teach grades 7-12, 8-12, or sometimes something different. The bachelor’s degree will typically take 4 years to obtain, but most schools require you to get your master’s within 5 years in order to keep your teaching job.

I am a mecanic by trade but I can do many things, including welding, tool and die, machine shop, construction, I worked previously in a foundry (aluminum) and as a pumps mechanic in a paper plant.

You need a copy of the Aberdeen press and journal, all the rig jobs are advertised there. It’s online

Also, I’ve had two hosting jobs so do I write the responsibilities for both the same? Thanks.

Don’t put down responsibilities, put down what you achieved. So you might have wanted to say
- Responsible for taking customer orders
instead say more like
- Served restaurant patrons with accuracy and speed
The trick is in the verb used. Make it strong and show the benefits.

On the subject of using the same words in two places I would say no. You only have limited space so give a little variety.

But after several years of struggling and, for lack of a better phrase, finding myself, I have realized that I should take everyone’s advice and look into teaching.

I am a CT resident, but do not need to stay here. So, what are the steps?

Does a Praxis test come before or after grad school?
Is certification part of grad school?

If you are a teacher – especially in CT – your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This explains everything you need to know about becoming a teacher CT: http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/cwp/view.asp?a=2613&q=321230&sdePNavCtr=|#45439

Since you already have your degree, you’ll want to look into alternative certification programs (ones for people who already have at least an undergrad degree). They’ll save you time. If you enroll in a state-approved certification program, you’ll get certified when you finish the program. The PRAXIS is for after you’ve done your coursework.

It’s much easier to get certified in the same state you’ll teach in, so if you think you might like to work somewhere else, look for requirements on that state’s dept of ed website.

I have done community and high school theater so I have experience I am just not sure how to format everything.
Do you need to put your weight, height, hair color, etc…

I haven’t gone to college but did do choir and theater in high school so what do I put for education or training?

What types of things do you put down as special abilities or talents.

And if you are auditioning for a musical should you put singing as one of your talents.

I will absolutely love if you could answer all these questions.

Yes, you should include your height, weight, hair colour, eye colour. Any special abilities or talents that you have can go under this category, like singing, dancing, gymnastics, writing, ANYTHING! Be creative with this part because if you put down something that may be needed for the production, you may have an advantage. But don’t be too creative and put down stuff you can’t do very well. Only put singing as one of your talents if you can actually sing. Sorry, I can’t answer the training and education question. Hope I helped!

They always seem to boil down to fancy pancy office jobs. How come they never show any tips for factory jobs or the biggest job field out there retail?

That is a good question….there probably are tips on how to do good in an interview in the labor field but i am guess there are even more for the service industry…it is the fastest growing segment….i have that problem too. good luck job hunting
