I am an elementary school teacher.  I have 12 years of experience and I am National Board Certified.  I have just recently relocated from NC to IL.  I am having an extremely hard time obtaining a teaching position.  I talked with someone in the education field here and they told me it was who you knew not what you knew.  If you have a second would you please look over my resume and give me feedback as to how to make it better and offer any other advice that you have.  Thank you!  Nicole
