There tend to be different seasons when jobs are posted. Schools often give out contracts to their teachers between February and May. Teachers who decide not to come back or whose contracts are not renewed may have their jobs posted at that time. In July to August there tends to be another, smaller season as people have plans change and enrollment numbers call for more teachers to be hired. The shortest (but most intense) season tends to be right before school starts and right after, as last minute issues come up, logistical problems arise, and other problems make themselves known. Throughout the whole year, there are also occasional openings for medical leaves, mid-year retirements, and other unforeseen events.
Job searches will vary based on how willing you are to relocate. If you’re willing to go anywhere in the country (or world) for a Latin job, there are far more options than if you need a job in a specific town.
Here are some places to check if you’re looking for a Latin teaching job. This is focused on the U.S.; check The Classics Library for UK jobs.
There is often overlap from site to site, but it makes sense to check everywhere. An administration looking for a new Latin teacher may only post on SchoolSpring or AISNE, while a Latin teacher trying to find a replacement may concentrate on LatinTeach.

1. National
1. Carney Sandoe is a placement service that works with independent schools and e-mails you information about jobs.
2. School Spring tends to have public school teaching jobs and will e-mail you about jobs whose descriptions match your criteria.
3. Latinteach, the e-mail list, has a lot of information about jobs that are coming open or may be coming open. Teachers who are posting about their jobs also often give details about the school that can be useful.
4. NAIS has jobs in independent schools from around the country listed.
2. Regional
1. AISNE has jobs listed for independent schools in New England.
2. CANEns often lists jobs in the announcements.
3. State. Check neighboring states as well; there can often be jobs just over state lines.

4. Local
1. Check school websites; some schools will post about a job only on their website.
2. Get on tutor and sub lists at schools; if an opening comes up, an administration may check there first.
3. Write letters to all schools in the area. This is how I got a firm lead on an early job; I knew where I was moving, so I sent every private school in the area a copy of my resume with a letter saying I knew that they weren’t looking, but, if they started, I’d love for them to consider me. One school had a one section job open up and got in touch with me.
4. Find area associations and let them know you are looking for a job.
5. Have resumes ready to go and try to carry business cards in your wallet (or at least paper and a pen) so you can give your information to the nice administrator you meet on the flight to visit your family or the friend of a friend you run into in the grocery store.

If you have any other resources for finding jobs, please leave a note in the comments and I’ll update the post to include them.
