Starting an Application

In K12JobSpot beta, you can apply to an available job directly from the following locations:

  • "Find Jobs" tab (opens by default)
  • Job preview
  • Full job posting 

Look for the Apply or Easy Apply buttons.

Apply vs. Easy Apply

Easy Apply allows you to apply for a job with just a few clicks. The availability of Easy Apply for a job depends on:

  • Employer’s application requirements
  • Completion of your profile on K12JobSpot beta

If your profile has all the sections required by the employer for the job, you will be able to take advantage of this time-saving option. *If you do not see Easy Apply, it is still quick to complete an application using the standard Apply button.

Your applications can help you build and update your profile. As you add new information on applications, the system will give you the option to update your profile data, helping you be even more efficient. You can also save time by completing your profile first (recommended), before applying for jobs, as the application pulls information from your profile. See My Profile Overview.

Submitting Your Application

Whether you use Apply or Easy Apply, the last step is submitting your application using the Submit button.

Once you have successfully submitted the application, you will receive a pop-up notification to verify the process is complete. Select Continue to return to the main Find Jobs page.
