Your task as a job seeker is to determine what the application procedures are and to prepare and organize your materials. These files are self-maintained documents that support your candidacy. They typically include a resume, teaching evaluations, recommendation letters, transcripts, NTE scores, and licensure. It is a good idea to organize these documents early and keep the originals in your personal files. Inquire with the school system to determine the application process.
Some schools have deadlines.
Gather the items for your personal credential file at the beginning of the semester to minimize stress. Request reference letters several weeks before you need them. Follow the application instructions exactly. Complete all sections of the application. Objective and subjective information will be requested.
