Application
Strategy

[Back to Top]

  
Plan ahead.  Refer to job announcement for required documents and qualifications.
Make a checklist of the key requirements we have outlined in the job announcement. Include detailed check-off items for any materials you will be requesting from others, such as transcripts or references.
Give yourself deadline dates for intermediate goals. This is crucial if you need to obtain transcripts or letters of recommendation. You must request these early enough to allow time for the person or organization to respond to you.
Be ready to follow-up quickly on your requests. 
Follow all instructions carefully. Generally, it is a good idea to read through the entire application before you start filling it out. Information or questions you see towards the end of the application might help you make better responses in the beginning of the application.
Keep a copy of all of your materials. The District will not return or make photocopies of application materials.
Tips for Applicants

[Back to Top]

  
General
Review the job announcement carefully. In addition to the standard job application form, resume and educational transcripts, supplementary information such as a listing of relevant course work, portfolio materials, etc., may be required. If requested, be sure to include this supplemental information with your application package.
If the job announcement requires the submission of letters of recommendation, be sure that they are either included with your application package or submitted so that they will be received by the District Office of Human Resources prior to the closing date.
Use 20# - 24# white or off-white paper and standard font size (11pt - 12pt) and style (Arial, Times New Roman) for your cover letter and resume. Avoid flowery font styles or sizes; your cover letter and resume are professional documents and should look that way.
Make sure all materials are grammatically correct and neatly presented.
Follow a standard style guide that is appropriate for your discipline (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).
Application Form
Complete all sections of the District application, even if the entries duplicate information in your resume or other documentation. Type or neatly print all entries on the form.
The application is the first document to be reviewed by the screening committee. The appearance of this document is critical and should represent your best effort.
All mandatory supplemental forms must be completed, signed, and returned with the application.  Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the applicant pool.

Address your educational philosophy, teaching experience and other related academic experience;

Provide examples from background and experience to demonstrate how your knowledge and expertise apply to the position; and

Resume
The format of your resume should be well organized and easy to read, with important information such as education and academic experience at the top of the first page where it can easily be found.
Your resume should be limited to not more than three pages, if possible, and should:
Include information about your education, teaching experience and/or related academic experience, special training, publications, conference presentations, professional activities and academic affiliations;
Specify other qualifications and experience relevant to the position;
Provide a chronological listing of your previous employment, including a description of positions held, names of employers, period of employment, and whether the position was full-time or part-time;
