Everywhere You Need to Look for a Job in EdTech - Job Boards & Recruiters
If Indeed and LinkedIn Jobs just isn’t cutting it for you, you need to be looking at job boards specific to EdTech. Targeting and narrowing your job search can easily help you stop wasting time - spend that time on LinkedIn or taking a course in an industry skill.
As an EdTech recruiter and career coach, it’s literally my full-time job to know what jobs for teachers are available. How do I do that?
First, my network. Being well-connected means employers are reaching out to me for recruiting help, it also means my feed is full of employers posting about their open positions. Don’t underestimate the power a strong network.
Second, I check my main job boards every morning.
The Best EdTech Job Boards
Should You Look at LinkedIn for Jobs?
Yes! However, you’re looking the wrong place.
You shouldn’t rely only on the LinkedIn job board. You need to follow recruiters and people from your favorite companies then be active in your feed. The jobs posted by these connections are the ones you want to look for. With these, you have an in. Message the recruiter or hiring manager, send your resume, follow up.
Your LinkedIn feed is the best job board of them all, if you’re following the right people.
How Can I Work With Recruiters?
A recruiter’s job is to put people in roles. While they don’t make the final decision of who gets the job, they can at least usually get you an interview. The rest is up to you.
The good news here is that they want to work with you if you have a good profile. They want to fill these roles with their candidates because that’s how they make money for the work they do to recruit the candidate.
I mentioned above that I’m a recruiter, so how can you work with me now that you’ve found me? Take my Full Course or join my Community. I need to know who you and I need to see your experience and professionalism in action, so working directly with me and learning what I have to teach are crucial to me referring you.
What about other recruiters? Message them! We can’t help you unless we know you.
