As a reminder, if you could not upload your resume while registering to attend, please bring a copy with you, as well as any other materials you would like to share with our leadership team. You may also email it at a later date to careers@greathearts.org [4]. Keep an eye on your inbox over the coming weeks – we’ll reach out with more information as the event date gets closer!
Here are a few tips you can use to prepare!
- Visit the Great Hearts website [5] to learn more about philosophy, curriculum, and approach. School leaders will want to hear from you about the reasons you are applying specifically to Great Hearts.
- Make a plan for which schools interest you the most. Doing some basic research on the schools in your area as well as your preferred grade levels, will help you focus your attention on the right tables once you arrive at the event. You are encouraged to visit all of the tables of course, but don’t miss out on the ones that interest you the most.
- Develop a few talking points or questions for conversation. If you have already visited the Great Hearts website [5] or know good deal about our model, be prepared with a few topics that show why you are passionate about joining us, or how our philosophy aligns with yours. And Great Hearts loves good questions! Feel free to prepare a few questions to ask school leaders that help you discern what school or position is best for you.
- Have a digital or hard copy resume handy. While Great Hearts will follow up with you to obtain your resume, it’s always nice to share one with a prospective employer right there at the event. Sometimes it prompts interesting connections with the school leader, which makes conversation flow much more easily! At Great Hearts, we love to see resumes that indicate an affinity for classical liberal arts education, and even if you haven’t had formal experience in teaching, be sure to note any experiences you’ve had working with children, even in volunteer roles such as coaching. These show your love for working with children, which is at the heart of our mission!
- Consider what to wear. While it’s not a priority, attire is an often-asked question! Consider aligning what you wear with the position for which you are applying. For instance, Great Hearts teachers wear professional attire, so if you are interested in teaching with us, you may want to opt for something near or at that level. If you’re coming from another event that makes it hard, please don’t worry – we are just delighted that you have chosen to attend!
With numerous opportunities for all candidates, Great Hearts provides meaningful pathways for you to build a career that impacts the formation of students both academically and morally.
We look forward to meeting you! If you have questions in the meantime, please reach out to careers@greathearts.org [4].
