Salem-Keizer Public Schools’ Post

When you see a great job description, what details help you decide whether to apply or keep moving? I just wrote a short job description as part of my Election Warden duties. My draft included phrases like [unknown election-related duties] and "30-35 hours a week [right?!]." The City Clerk and I worked out the actual details before we finalized the JD. But it got me thinking about how to write a good job description. We've all seen those job descriptions that are so generic that it's hard to say what makes this job different or jargon filled so that it's impossible to tell what the job requirements actually are. Or, we've seen fantastic job descriptions that communicate clear expectations and make you excited about the job and company. ––––––––––––– 🙋♀️ Hi!

I do not believe that seeing a job as a "Foot in the Door" is a bad thing. Someone with their FitD is putting their best foot forward every day to prove their worth. Someone with their FitD is paying attention to the good they can provide to a company or institution. Someone with their FitD is trying to achieve professional development. Many libraries in particular tend to promote/hire internally for introductory level librarian positions. This means they wait for someone they work with to have the degree or the experience they already work with for Librarian I positions, even though many are required to post the job publicly. This does not mean ALL of the introductory Librarian I positions are filled internally, just that it is a trend. When your industry - not to mention your company or institution - hires/promotes internally for these highly competitive positions, you CAN NOT get upset if someone applies lower for a FitD position. These qualified professionals are not only looking to prove themselves, but they are also playing the game as it was set out before them. Whether or not you ONLY, Tend To, or sometimes promote/hire internally, you should not fear a FitD employee. They are looking to be the best.

⚠️ Job Alert⚠️ Get your federal resume ready! We will be posting a DC-based, GS-15 Grants Director position to lead AMS Grants on local and regional foods, food systems infrastructure and other agricultural marketing activities. We are seeking a confident grants management expert with a commitment to staff development and organizational leadership who has significant experience with the full range of pre-award and post-award functions, maintaining awareness of evolving federal best practices. Comment “Grant Director” to receive the link once posted on @USAJobs Here are some tips to writing a federal resume: A resume for a federal job is different than one for the private sector. You must address each of the requirements and qualifications listed in the announcement—write clearly and without jargon. The hiring agency will not make assumptions about what's in your resume. It requires more detailed descriptions of your work experiences, including experience level and complexity of work and may exceed the private sectors commonly recommended one to two pages. You must include the start and end dates (month/year) and number of hours worked per week for each work experience. You should tailor your resume for each federal job you apply for instead of using the same resume. https://bit.ly/4hYNIUO #FederalHireFriday #FedHireFriday #FederalJob

🔍 The Reality of Reference Checks in Education 🔍 As someone navigating the job search, I’ve seen firsthand how challenging it can be for principals to complete reference checks. Principals and administrators are often dealing with stretched schedules, unstaffed positions, and funding cuts—all while managing a busy school environment. These demands can make it tough to prioritize reference checks, and sometimes, they simply don’t have the time. Add to this the technical issue of emailed reference requests ending up in spam folders, and the process becomes even more complicated! While email can be fast, it’s clear it may not always be reliable. Would going back to traditional letters be a more effective approach? Or perhaps there’s room to streamline the process with other methods. Another common issue is when previous supervisors have moved, retired, or changed schools, leaving applicants to rely on older references when their most recent supervisor isn’t available. This can add another layer of difficulty, especially when consistency and recent experience matter so much. It’s clear there’s room for improvement in the reference-check process. I’d love to hear any innovative ideas or solutions that others have seen in action! #JobSearch #Education #ReferenceChecks #Hiring #SchoolLeadership #CareerDevelopment
