resumes

when is the best time to send out resumes for next year?

Should I still send a resume to the district even if they are using the online resume system?

Do you recommend sending resumes to individual schools in addition to the administration offices?

Usually september openings begin to be posted in February.

I know online applications are the norm, but my first job ever, I got because I had sent in my resume in August and then sent it in again updated with my subbing experience - they said that they were impressed with the initiative (that was an individual NYC school)

I would think in the suburbs, it might not hurt to send a resume to individual principals - you never know what they have coming open. But I think the best way to get your name out there is to sub, sub, sub.

Re: resumes

i actually heard a while ago that Nov is a good time as well to send them. Not sure why though.

If you are applying on LI I would sugguest filling out the applications on their websites. I tried sending them to schools directly and i would just geta response card back telling me to apply online.
