[NOBE-L] Getting hired in California?

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi,
I am having a hard time getting hired in California as well. I live in southern, California, and out of the few school districts. I have looked at for jobs, I have only found one that asks for a valid drivers license. It’s frustrating! I still have yet to get a job, but I haven’t given up on it yet. I’ve got two credentials, And hope to get a job under one of them so that I can clear both.
