I am so perplexed concerning getting an interview for a teaching job in Gwinnett County. I am certified ECE (P-5), special ed consultative (P-12), and special ed cognitive (P-5) in all subject areas. I have applied through the Gwinnett County web site for well over 30 positions beginning at the end of May. I have emailed resumes and mailed hard copies with a full page cover letter to every principal. I have had only one interview... Is there something I am missing? Do these jobs really exist? I am beyond frustrated with this because I know I am very qualified and yet it appears I am not even being considered. I realize there are probably many applicants but... Am I the only person experiencing this? Any remarks or comments?

I recently hired for a teaching position (special ed) for which I had 265 applicants. It is really competitive.

TeachGwinnett Hi- I'm totally having the same problem trying to get an interview With a gcps elementary but I think my issue is because I need to be hired to go through the TeachGwinnett program. I resigned from my position as a paralegal after 15 years and starting subbing in Gwinnett, passed GACE and have been applying online and emailing principals everyday. ...See More
