| Q: | How can I contact schools letting them know I am available for a certain position? |
| A: | To make your information available to all the AACS member schools, just create an account on the Teacher Placement Service. Then when schools have need of personnel in your particular category, they will search the database and have your name in their results. |
|
| Q: | What kind of teacher information can be listed? |
| A: | Your account summary will show details much like a concise resume. All contact information along with details of education and experience may be entered as well as a personal photograph. |
|
| Q: | How do I make my need of a teacher or other personnel known to prospective personnel? |
| A: | To make this need known, just create an account on the Teachers Placement Service under ‘school.’ As teachers look for schools by searching on the Teacher Placement Service database, your needs will be matched with the abilities of teachers who have entered their information on the teacher database. |
|
| Q: | What kind of school information can be listed? |
| A: | Your account summary can give contact information, grades represented in the school, and accreditation, as well as a list of personnel needs, the church affiliated with the school (if applicable), and a picture of the ministry. |
|
| Q: | How will my account information appear to those who view it? |
| A: | Interested parties will view your account exactly as you see it when you select “View my account summary.” An interested party may print that summary for his or her reference. |
|
| Q: | If I enter information, but it is not showing on the account summary, what do I need to do? |
| A: | If the information is not seen on the account summary, you will need to login, make the corrections or additions, then view the account summary to be sure your information appears as you want it to. |
|
| Q: | How will I know that my information has been viewed? |
| A: | You will know by the number of ‘hits’ on your account. You will receive contacts by e-mail, by telephone, or by mail to your physical address (according to the information that you enter in your account). |
|
| Q: | How does the search function work? |
| A: | To save you time, the search function keeps you from needing to sift through entries that do not apply to your need. To be included in the database search you must choose positions in which you are interested, on the page: “Select desired positions.”
When a teacher selects “Search for schools,” the computer search will match schools’ “positions available” to the individual teacher’s “desired positions” and will show a list of potential schools for that teacher.
When a school selects “Search for teachers” the computer will match teachers’ “desired positions” with that school’s “positions available” and will show a list of potential teachers. |
