Recruiters are located at tables in a large room.

WERF Pointers:

• District recruiters are located at tables in a large room. Many conversations will be occurring simultaneously.
• Plan for short interviews.
• Districts will have varied approaches to the fair. Some will be providing information about their district, other will be interviewing for key positions.
• Use this opportunity to open doors-- make an impression. There may not be an open position today, but something may open up a few months from now. Ask about substitute teaching opportunities too!
• Some districts may have long lines. Talk to recruiters who are available. Ask for job-search tips. Practice, practice, practice!
• Take advantage of the on-site career counseling for resume review, and other job-search questions.
• Check with the Registration/Information Table if you have questions, or stop any staff member (designated by name badge) for questions or assistance in locating a district.
• Use the District Recruiters on-line listing to search school districts to create a prioritized list of the employers with whom you wish to meet. This is very important. This information will be updated on a regular basis.
• Leave a message at the Information Table for recruiters. BE SURE TO NOTIFY RECRUITERS IF YOU CANCEL AN INTERVIEW TIME.
• Last-minute district cancellations occur occasionally or district may leave early. If a school district you are interested in is not there, you can leave your resume at the Information Table and we will send it on to the school district.
