Please see above this section for a list of school districts participating in the Career Fair.

You can expect a loud, fast-paced, exciting environment!  There will be hundreds of people searching for jobs and a large number of districts waiting to meet you.

Some booths will have large numbers of candidates waiting to speak with them- either arrive early or see if there is a wait list you can put your name on to come back to visit with someone.

Visit all booths and keep an open mind- even if you think you wouldn't want to work there.  You might surprise yourself and find a perfect fit with a district that was different than you expected.

This is a professional setting in which you are trying to obtain a job.  To that end, wear professional clothing and a smile.  Remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression!

ACCEPTABLE items include but are not limited to: suits, dress skirts, nice slacks, button down shirt, ties, professional dress, blazer, dress shoes, heels, pumps.

UNADVISED items include but are not limitied to: crop shirts, shorts, flip flops, extrememly low cut blouses or skirts, sweats, spaghetti strap dresses.

Several copies of your resume: Make sure they have been proofread at least twice!

Other possible items include:

• Water
• Mints (Leave the gum at home or in  your car.  We do not want to see you chewing gum while talking with us)
• Tissues
• Snacks- although food will be available to purchase
• Small mirror to make sure your hair looks good and you don't have food in your teeth
• Lint brush
• Lip balm
• Wipes
• Stain remover stick
• Anti-bacterial spray, gel, foam, etc.

Plan on being at the Career Fair most of the day.  You can always leave early if you've talked with everyone on your list.

Districts are looking for a confident, upbeat and positive person who truly is passionate about serving children.

We are really good at assimilating a lot of information about you in a short amount of time so be sure to have a firm handshake, look people in the eyes when speaking to them, smile, and be conscious of your body language.

Districts will receive a list of all people who registered for the Career Fair.  This list will include your name, address, phone, email, answers to the questions around endorsements, etc., and your resume if you have uploaded it.

If the school district sends me a list of their openings, I will link it to their school district name above.

Look for these beginning the week of: February 22
