Michigan Teaching Jobs
Why the Job Posting Service is Important
Timing is everything! The service gives you daily updates for new job postings. Some job postings may run a week, possibly two or three weeks while others may have posting deadlines of only a few days. If you miss the job posting deadline, you won’t be considered for the opportunity.
Although Applitrack is a great service for school districts and prospective employees, not every school district uses it. Job opportunities may be lost by simply counting on it as your primary job hunting source. Some job opportunities may be disguised or hidden as a result of job titles or ambiguous postings.
If you are busy with your current job, family, avocations, social commitments, etc., the time it takes to devote to finding jobs weekly may take many hours away from more pressing and urgent obligations. The service allows you to meet those obligations, takes away the time burden, and still keeps you up to date on job opportunities. How competitive is the environment? Novi had 952 applicants for one teaching job in 2017!!! 20 of their 66 postings had over 100 applicants each, but two positions had only 3 applicants.
There is a lack of support in a job search, and the service provides feedback on your resume, cover letter, and other aspects of your job search if you choose to utilize it. My 25 years of experience and expertise in Michigan Educational Job searching may prove beneficial to you in your job search process.
Is your University/College/Association helping provide you with a job posting service? Support or feedback in your job search? Are your Association dues (NEA, MEA, ACA, ASCA, MCA, MASA, etc.) providing you assistance in your job search? There have been over 200 subscribers to this service with several securing positions, some have secured multiple positions (55.55% of my subscribers have secured new educational positions so far in 2018 through my help and support), and 98% have renewed their subscriptions because the service has proved to be valuable. Subscriber Terms Please e-mail davetgc@yahoo.com if you'd like information on how to subscribe to this valuable service.
