Job Search Tips Start early. The job market for private schools is extremely competitive.
Employers are very selective in their interviewing and hiring choices.
There are many qualified candidates vying for positions. If you wait until March or April to begin your search, you will have missed a number of opportunities. Most independent schools begin their hiring efforts during January and February. Most public schools begin their hiring efforts during March and April. However, positions for both public and private schools do open up during the summer.
