Hello!
I am in need of advice regarding my new job search.
On Monday evening, I was let go of my job as a Director of Education for a supplemental education business.
I kind of sensed this coming, so I had actually been applying to jobs for several weeks before I was actually let go. I am planning on applying to some more retail jobs in person---just to tie me over until I can find a teaching position.
But here's my question....
About 2 weeks ago I applied online to two different teaching positions. (I applied to each of them on July 15). The first job closes on August 10, the second one on August 14. I am considering printing out my resume, cover letter and references and actually driving to eack of these two schools to submit my credentials IN PERSON.
Is this a good idea that might give me an ''edge'' over other candidates, or is it a bad idea since I already applied online? I'm just concerned that my resume might be stuck in some database and overlooked.
Something else....neither job posting encourages applying in person, this is just some idea I came up with out of desperation of needing (and truly wanting) one of these jobs.
Your comments and opinions welcome.
Thanks!!!
