Brandee, have you filled out the on-line application for
Hardin Co.? You can also look for job openings on that site.
I just recently moved from Ft. Knox, KY to Greenville, NC
(husband is military). When I applied to sub in Hardin Co.,
it took several months. I had to call several times before I
was even considered for the sub position. I would try
applying on post as well as off post. I would suggest, if I
were you, that you make a trip to the HCBOE and speak to
someone in person. If you applied on-line, there may have
been a problem and they might not have received your
application. Good luck in your job search.
