First off, you don't say if you have a college degree--at least a 4 year degree. Check out the website for your states department of education and you should be able to find information for alternative routes for teacher certification Click on the source listed below and you should be able to pull up all the states' departments of education. I received my certification as a social studies teacher through the "Troops to Teachers" program for veterans. I've been trying for a job in my location (Ft. Knox, KY) for 4 years. I substitute teach and that is not as rewarding or satisfying as having my own classroom. Good luck to you. :)

1)Pursue Substitute Teaching
2)Apply for aide positions
3)Apply for clerical, full-time and part-time positions.
You also need to recognize that pursuing a position on the adminstration side is your best opportunity to move up in the company. A school district is held to higher standards than most corporations and must use the most highly qualified people in the classroom.
If you have graduated college, you might contact your state agency and find out the cost/effort it would take to receive your teacher's certification - if you feel it will help in your job search.

Some states have a two week course that will prepare you to be a sub--------once you get a sub job, continue your education and you should be full time in a very short time. If the other teachers like you and you show up and do all of your work for them, they will help you when you need a reference. Call you county board or State Board of Education to find out how to go about it in your state.

This is something you don't want to hear, but usually, a district that hires unqualified or uncertified teachers are districts that you would not want to work at. They are either at very low levels academically or they are very dangerous. In either case, the district hires anybody.
Get certified or hope that you get real lucky.

Relocation is big; however, if you want to stay where you are and it is difficult to find a job you want to get your foot in the door. Appply for a substitute position (see if they have building subs because then the principal will see you everyday), or an instructional assistant position. After you get in you really need to put yourself out there; volunteer to help teachers if you have breaks, volunteer to assist after school programs, and just get yourself know. Principals want to know who they are putting in the classroom so you really have to shine.
If you are in desperation you really need to locate. There are many states that are in dire need of educators. You can check out there education websites. Some states that really need teachers are Florida, Texas, and Nevada, just to name a few.
Good luck! Teaching is a noble profession, and when it is your passion you will truly succeed.

move to an emerging country, where learning English is very important, and native English teachers are rare. you will have no problem getting a job.

Do some volunteer work and then if they like what they see they may hire you.
