As I am living abroad and making arrangements to come back home I need to plan my applications wisely for a number of reasons. I am applying for positions that may arise in the summer as well as the next school year (2020-2021).
Why is it important to note this and not just apply to find out? Well, to apply its going to cost me $13.99 per board. In total, for the Catholic boards I am applying for, it'll cost $279.0 (CAD).
Not cheap to say the least when its likely I won't see that money for a very long time.
Making a list of human resource contact numbers/emails in order to find out which boards are/are not conducting online interviews.
"Hello Human Resource of __(school board name)___,
I am a teacher who is currently overseas on a teaching assignment, I would like to apply for a position in the school board as an occasional teacher. It was recommended to me that I contact the school boards' human resource department to inquire on the potentiality of an online interview as it does get costly to apply to all the school boards.
I am wondering if it would be at all possible to find out from you if the school board is willing to conduct interviews online as I am currently not in the country and won't return until July/Aug 2020.
If you could email me back with either a reference to a particular page on the school board's website that states the policy on this or if you would be willing to provide me with an answer I could go, that would be much appreciated, thank you very much.
All the best, "

On another note, its a little disappointing knowing that school boards that are closed and "working from home" among the other professionals are still not conducting online interviews for positions amidst the COVID-19 epidemic...ugh.
