Recruiters from school districts will be stationed throughout the room, ready to answer questions on their district hiring process, interview skills, resume tips, etc. Students are encouraged to dress professionally, bring resumes, network, and ask questions in preparation for the Teacher Fair. There is no formal presentation. Rather, the event is designed to serve as a rehearsal for the job fair. Pizza will be served. Please note that there are TWO Meet and Greets.
