| Am
I eligible to participate? |
| Yes, if
you have completed requirements for an Education, an Education-related
degree or certification or will do so by August 2010. |
| How
do I get to the Greater Philadelphia Teacher Job Fair? |
| It
will be held on the campus of West Chester University in West
Chester University, PA. Click here
for directions. There is ample free parking. |
| What
time does the Teacher Job Fair begin? |
| The Teacher
Job Fair will begin at 9:00 a.m. for all pre-registered candidates
from DVEC participating colleges/universities. On-site registrants
will not be admitted until 10:00 a.m. |
| What
will happen at the Teacher Job Fair? |
| School
district representatives will be there to speak with you about
their anticipated needs and your interests and qualifications.
Representatives will be located at tables in a large exhibition
hall. You will be able to speak with them briefly on a first
come - first served basis. After these initial conversations,
some employers will schedule individual interviews. Other representatives
will only be collecting resumes and noting first impressions
for their use in selecting candidates for interviewing at a
later date. Be prepared for long lines at the tables of Philadelphia
suburban school districts. We encourage you to branch out in
your search. |
| Professionalism
|
| We suggest
that you dress as you would for an interview. It may be that
your only contact with a particular employer at Teacher Job
Fair 2010 will be limited to a short discussion at a table,
or an unscheduled chance meeting some other time during the
day. Remember that your discussions should be equally as professional
as they would be during a fully scheduled employment interview. |
| How
do I find out where employers are located? |
| The final
registration packet you will receive the day of the event will
contain an employer list indicating which employers pre-registered
to be in attendance, and a map showing their scheduled locations.
Last-minute changes in employer attendance and locations will
be posted in the registration area of the Teacher Job Fair.
|
| Will
there be a break for lunch and will food be available? |
| Recruiters
will take a break for lunch, though they’ve been asked
to try to keep 1 recruiter at their table at all time. Students
can purchase food from the vendors at West Chester University. |
| What
if I did not pre-register? Will I be turned away? |
| No
one is turned away from registering on-site. You must though
submit $10 (cash only) and 1 copy of your resume. Bring plenty
of other resumes for the recruiters. |
