Skip's EdTech Jobs: March 16th

Thank you for reading the EdSkipper, Skip’s newsletter about skipping from education to education-aligned careers. Every Saturday, I send out a list of curated remote jobs selected from Skip’s job board.

I’ve been noticing so many errors on company job boards lately!

There’s one company that routinely posts three jobs with three different jobs and the same job description. Another updated the listing after I’d posted it, changing the teaching experience required from secondary math to literacy. And another company has two job boards with different jobs on them.

So it’s probably not a surprise when these companies also ghost candidates or lose additional application materials they requested and so forth.

We put so much pressure on job seekers to do everything correctly — tailor the resume, find the hiring manager for the role, send everyone a direct message, and heaven forbid you have a typo.

But companies are filled with humans too and some of them are much better at creating smooth (and equitable) hiring processes than others.

~I hope you find some fantastic jobs to apply to this weekend,

Last Week’s Poll

Last week I asked people what was most important to them during their job search. Since I only share jobs with a (good) salary, it makes sense that this is a priority for you.

One person mentioned another important element in a job description: realistic expectations for the role. “If the list of responsibilities is extremely long, touches a lot of different departments and includes language about working in a "fast paced environment" then that signals to me that this role will involve wearing too many hats with unrealistic expectations (and ultimately that they really need to be hiring more people).”

Since many of us have less experience in a corporate environment when we first leave education, it’s so important to read a lot of job descriptions for similar roles to evaluate what is typical in a role and what’s an extra hat on top of an extra hat.

And one of the things I love about the new job board is that old jobs will stay on the site (just with a banner that says its closed). That way you can conduct market research to evaluate what a role entails. (This is currently only available for free jobs but it’s a feature we're planning for all the jobs I share on the site.)

Many of you are interested in company mission as well — I got a lovely note about how helpful the site and newsletter are in showing how many mission-driven organizations work on education issues outside of brick and mortar school buildings. I still remember the first time I was looking at all these jobs and saying, ‘why didn’t I know I could do so many other things?!’
