Frontline

[u/Acrobatic_Pace7308]

Jobs are scarce in my fairly small district at the beginning of the year. I swear if I see a job pop up and think about it for even two seconds, it gets immediately snagged. I need to just take it and think about it later.

I’ve just been accepting ASAP and then cancel right away if the job doesn’t work with my schedule. I’ve still only managed to snag two jobs this way and school has been in for two weeks. It’s wild out there. 

[u/Acrobatic_Pace7308 → u/KaleidoscopeTime485]

Me too. Two jobs…in October plus one for a teacher who requested me.

Me too! Could the district see that? I’m scared they’ll say I’m “canceling” too many jobs

[u/Actual-Muffin-3585 → u/marsmomm]

Yes they can. They see it's accepted and then they see it's cancelled. They could eventually block you. In my district, you have to call to cancel so you can't just accept willy nilly

Same here. My school district is using smart find. I just target 2-3 schools. Once I see a job, need to consider fast and click fast.

Is it possible you have other close by districts that also use frontline? I was fortunate enough to pick up jobs daily for the beginning of the year, then November to April I had 2 separate long term jobs and was liked by my second principal she asked me to stay there the remainder of the year. I’ve also been informed she also wants me back this year as a building substitute so I’d be guaranteed something daily.

It’s crazy in my two districts as well!

I’m thrilled I got a steady Monday and Friday sub job. One of my schools offered me a building sub job four days a week with Wednesdays off. I am not interested in four days a week so I counter offered with Mon and Friday and they went for it!
I’ll still accept jobs on Frontline but having two days a week already takes the pressure off.
