A shortened workday is one of the most enjoyable benefits of working a contract in a school district. The school day at many schools is 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Along with holidays and teacher service days off, you will also be off during the summer months which will give you time to enjoy vacationing with your children, traveling the country with a friend or allow you to simply rest and relax. You would also have the option of taking these couple of months to take another assignment. You can earn some extra income and enjoy a new work setting over the summer break. 

Contracts for school districts also allow you to secure a longer term contract as you usually commit for the entire school year. This eliminates the need to change work environments and creates stability. Most likely you will then have the option to continue to contract year after year if you choose. 

In a school setting, the most valuable benefit is working with the children. In addition, you’ll be able to work and help families. This allows you to entrust the parents as a champion for their children and to learn as much as they can about their child’s experience. You’ll work as a team to develop the best interventions and most cohesive approach to serving the children. You’ll have the chance to watch these children grow into valiant young adults.

To be the one who gets interviews and lands jobs, find a way to set yourself apart from everyone else. Rather than selling basic skills and qualifications, sell your potential to deliver results. Make sure to emphasize how the company will benefit by hiring you. If you can communicate your ability to bring value and benefits you are more likely to land that coveted position.

Employers are also seeking employees who have the proven ability to solve challenging problems and help them increase efficiency. By showing how you have delivered results in the past, you will set yourself apart from the masses. 

There are still new job opportunities being created every day. Be the one who takes advantage of this and lands the job!
