/ EAN / Help - Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the more frequently asked questions regarding our site, and also some questions and answers we thought you'd like to have.

1. How do I quickly search for jobs on this site? I don't particularly want to go into every state/region.

To search for jobs, choose "Job Search" from the top right of every page. The EAN Job Search is a complete solution to finding a job from the postings we have available. You can choose the type of job (Teaching / Administrative etc.) and the subject area. You can then narrow your search further by specifying state and city.

2. How up-to-date are the listings on this site

Our site runs on a database system which removes postings as soon as they are outdated according to what an employer has specified. As sometimes an employer may forget to close a position that has been specified as "Open until filled", the process is not 100% reliable, however, in most cases the jobs you see here are very up-to-date.

3. Do I need to register to browse and search for jobs?

No, all job seekers have to do to find jobs on Education America Network is to visit http://jobsearch.educationamerica.net and select from one of the search options.

4. Do I need to register to apply to jobs?
