Re: AESOP and jobulator...

Rob is correct - You do not HAVE to get jobulator to get jobs.
You can still search for jobs on the AESOP website or by phone
free of charge. However, getting jobulator does give you an
advantage. There is even MORE advantage if you can install the
widget on your phone and have it with you at ALL times. But on
the flip side, this is a slap in the face for us who can't afford
to upgrade to nicer phones with internet access, or people like me
who live in rural areas where we can only get unreliable dial up
where the jobulator often disconnects or other subs get the jobs
before our computers catch up.

You can try jobulator free for a month if you would like to see
how it works. I have in on my desktop right now and have lined up
a lot of jobs through it, but I don't know yet if I'll actually
pay to keep it. Maybe it can go on my christmas list ;-)

I'm not sure how it works on the regular teachers end, but I know
last week in my district they had a horrible time posting a job
while a preferred substitute was in the building, online, ready to
accept it, and someone else took it through jobulator. Not sure
if there is a way to offer jobs to particular subs and the admins
in my building didn't know how to do it, but it was a huge ordeal
trying to get the same person back in for a job because when it
was posted, within SECONDS, another sub had scooped it up.
