Before:
- Be sure to have a business appropriate outfit
- Register for multiple fairs (check out-of-state fairs, too)
- Job fairs are open for registration now for Spring 2015
- Practice interviewing: in the mirror or with a friend or ask your current building administrator
- Get your resume ready; select a nice format, make sure your contact information is correct; have someone proof read it
During:
- Be professional
- Explore your options
- Talk to everyone (they may have connections)
- Take notes; get information
After:
- Follow-up with districts that you are interested in
- Apply for openings
- Think about your next steps
- Set goals for your next fair or interview
New ways of doing business:
- Many districts may not take your resume. They will want you to submit your information online. Don’t worry - it doesn’t mean they are not interested; it is just that processes have changed. Have resumes on hand, but don’t be discouraged if you take them home.
