DIVERSITY in Ed introduced me to the company I was interested in working for, which was Mastery Charter Schools. On the job posting for the position I was pursuing, they stated they would be at the DIVERSITY in Ed Job Fair. I figured it would be a great opportunity to meet the recruiters for that position. So I registered, attended, and got the job I was looking for!  

To prepare, I researched the company I was applying to and spoke with Trina Edwards on the DIVERSITY in Ed Team. Researching Mastery Charter Schools helped be learn about their programs and mission; this helped me speak on that important information with recruiters. Speaking with Trina Edwards helped me know what to look out for and identify additional opportunities during the job fair.

I got the exact job I was looking for!

I would advise candidates to identify an area of study they’re passionate about and seek instructional positions in that space. I teach Computer Science and am very passionate about exposing high school students in under-served communities to the Tech Industry. This helps me be an effective instructor, and also helps me get through the challenges of teaching.

Yes, I actually recommend DIVERSITY in Ed to job seekers often. I think the organization as a whole is a very supportive resource for job seekers throughout the entire recruitment process.
