We have added a section to our profile called Profile > Selected Resume!

How this affects you:

Here we allow you to describe your experience, awards, and other accomplishments.

How this helps you:

• This allows to get you get a polished digital version of your resume that you can edit and download for your own use.

• You are no longer required to submit your resume.

• This also us to process new applicants more quickly.

• This helps us to show employers the right information as quickly possible to get you hired (preview what we show employers at Profile > Privacy).

What you need to do

If you have already submitted your profile, please complete the remaining items as soon as you can. In the meantime, your ability to be viewed by and interact with schools will not be affected.. If you are new to the platform, you will not have to do anything out of the ordinary.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience!!

We now specify four specific regions for the San Francisco Bay Area:

• Oakland and East Bay
• San Jose and South Bay
• Peninsula
• San Francisco

If you originally selected "SF Bay Area" as a location of interest before the new subregions above were added, you will have all the subregions in the SF Bay Area selected. However, you can edit your locations at any time under your Profile > Match Preferences. Please note that only schools in the sub-regions you've selected will be able to send you connection invitations about open positions.

You can now log in using your email and password!

You can set the password at Profile > Password. You will not have a password until you set one, but once you do you can use it to login.

If you forget your password you can login by email and change your password at any time.

Would you like to know when an employer is interested in you as soon as possible? If so, now you can get a text alert to your phone as soon as an employer sends you a connection request!

To get text alerts, head over to the Profile Page > Communication section and choose your preferences. You can turn this on and off at any time.

Educators: Welcome to the new and improved profile experience!

We now offer 3 new ways to improve your volume and quality of matches:

1.) You can now specify the grade levels you want to teach for each subject area you're interested in!

2.) Since employers can't see your resume until you accept a connection request from them, you can now encourage them to connect by better highlighting your experience level in the subject areas you want to teach!

How? Go to your Profile page under the "Profile Basics" section, then edit the "Subjects" section. Specify the grade levels you want to teach per subject AND ways you're qualified to teach each. 

3.) You can now improve the quality of your matches in your profile's "Improve Matches" section. Here, you can specify your school culture preferences, languages you're fluent in, and more! 

More updates coming soon!  In the meantime, like these changes? Please give us a thumbs up or leave a comment. :)

Thanks and best of luck with your search,
The Selected Team

We're happy to announce our new Template Invite Message feature!

~ In a nutshell ~

Create a message to send with your invites on the Profile Page > Communications tab. This message will automatically populate the message form if you decide to send a message with your invite. A nice intro message makes candidates more likely to accept your invitation!

~ How it works ~

1. When you send an invite and choose to include a message. Instead of starting each message from scratch, you can create a message that will act as a template for all invite messages, by clicking the link below the message container.

2. Clicking the link will take you to the Profile Page Communications tab where you can create your template invite message. Here's an example:

3. Once you have crafted your message. You should preview it to make sure that it's what you want. You can do this by clicking the Preview button.

Note here how the url formatted above is displayed in the preview: [Label](url)

4. Once you are finished hit Save Changes and the next time you include a message with your invite, this message will automatically populate in the message container!

Good luck hiring!

We're happy to announce our new update log! Stay tuned for announcements on new and upcoming features, bugs and bug fixes, and other improvements!
