Foreign language teachers are usually more difficult to come by (which makes it a little bit easier to find a job) but it also depends on the job seeker as well. Don’t be picky! Apply everywhere and use your connections. I’m not sure which campus of Widener you’re in… look up requirements for teaching in NJ and PA first. Their reqs are pretty strict, after receiving those it will probably be easier to gain reciprocity from other states.
At the same time, you can interview for jobs in a state you don’t yet have certification in. Just make sure to state that you plan on seeking certification in that state. Certification always helps but can be pricey. For example, getting certification in NJ is $200, so if you aren’t certain you’re teaching in NJ that can be expensive.

About
Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
