I am licensed to teach English and History for grades 5-12, will it be hard to find a job for the 2026-27 school year?

Teacher Support &/or Advice

For context, I am graduating this May and currently in my Student Teaching Practicum. I was originally licensed for History, but realized that the job market is very competitive in my region (and a lot of other areas) for this subject, so I also acquired my English certification. I am relocating to the other end of the state from where my Student Teaching placement is and I am just afraid that I will struggle finding a job. Should I email principals around April/May to see if they will have any vacant job openings in my licensure areas?

Not sure if this matters, but I am located in Massachusetts.
