The advice above is great, but If I could also offer..... If you are not Texas Certified, get that done ASAP. When I was hiring, I had two stacks of resumes. Texas Certified, Not. If I was able to find my candidate from Texas Certified, I never mede it to Not because the one time I did hire from Not, I got burned and that person was only there for one year because he/she struggled passing the test. So I was doing a search all over again a year later. Good luck to you.
