When approaching district recruiters at the job fair
- Think about what the hiring team is looking for and how best to approach them as prospective employers.
- Remember the first impression is pretty important from a recruiter standpoint.
- The importance of the “fit” for the position and the climate for a particular building often determines if the candidate is successful in any particular school.
- We have to assume that they have the content knowledge as we look at transcripts so it is really more about how will this candidate fit in with the rest of the population of students, staff and parents.”
