Job Posting Submission

Introduction

Last week you outlined the job posting.  This week you will update and finish the job posting.

Requirements and Directions

Updating

This week we learned a little more about online teachers' responsibilities--not all of it positive.  Job postings are really good at putting a good spin on some job requirements that may be less desirable.  You will also need to do the same for this posting. For instance, a AOL Jobs article explained:

"Does the job description use words such as 'flexible,' 'fast-paced' and 'high energy?' These could be code words for 'be willing to do whatever no one else is doing,' 'never take a break' and 'work long hours and weekends.'" 

Take a moment to think about some of the negative aspects of teaching online.  What are some "code words" that you can use to put a positive spin of them? When you've thought of a couple, add them to your job posting outline. 

Finishing

Now that you've updated your outline it's time to finish your job posting.  That doesn't mean that you need to get rid of all of the bullet points.  In fact, bullet points are common in the "Job Description" and "Qualifications" sections.  However, the Introduction section should be paragraph form. You should also proofread your job posting carefully.  Typos are red flags to potential employees.  

Submitting
