School District Recruiter Meet and Greets

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. One will host recruiters from Texas school districts, and the other will host out-of-state recruiters. Student teachers must attend one of the two Meet and Greets to attend in order to fulfill the PDS requirement, depending on their schedules and geographic interests.
