What happens over the summer?

Wow, it's now early July and I realized that there has been no posting since an initial blog post last November when we first launched our new website. Time for some updated content!

This is a quiet(er) time of year in the educator placement industry. The peak hiring months have already passed but there are still schools every day with teacher or administrator openings. Some are part-time, for maternity, medical or other leaves. Others are full-time.

If you are thinking about making a move into an independent school setting and you are currently employed, it's best to take a long-term perspective and be aiming for a fall 2015 opening. If you find yourself currently looking for a position, although the odds are getting long, there are definitely openings available. And on the plus side, when a school has a vacancy to fill at this time of year they move very quickly to fill it.

If you are not yet a CalWest candidate please submit a copy of your resume to resume@calwesteducators.com and include a brief cover letter. When my colleagues review your materials if we have one or more potential openings we will encourage you to complete our online application. If we don't have relevant positions for you right now, please consider contacting us again in the late fall or early winter (November to January) when we being to ramp up the search efforts for the next hiring season.

All the best,
Fleisch

P.S. I'd welcome your thoughts and comments. Please email me at chris@calwesteducators.com
