  Case: How old are you?
Despite laws that are in place to not discriminate against job applicants, it can be difficult for older teachers to be hired.

Ms. Sawyer is 55 years old. She used to teach Kindergarten and also taught English to all grades in a departmentalized elementary school 15 years ago. Most recently she teaches three year olds in a daycare. She wants to become a paraprofessional in a public school, but has not been called for an interview. What can Ms. Sawyer do to attract the attention of administrators in her school district?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Ms. Sawyer should go to the schools in which she is applying and try to make connections and relationships with the administration team. She may have a better chance of getting a call for an interview or she may be able to be put in contact with a school that she would be a good fit for. Sometimes you need to show your face to be recognized for possible positions.
