Are there any EdZapp services that require a fee?
While the service is free, we do provide some additional value-adding options for you.
EZ Document Manager – We can scan your documents and provide an electronic document management portfolio for you for a nominal annual charge. Find out more in the Manage Documents section.
Zapps - If you would like to let a district know that you are interested and eager to teach for them, you may want to Zapp them so that a star appears by your name in their searches. You can use a Zapp for ANY public school district in the U.S. whether they use EdZapp or not. EdZapp will also mail a hard copy letter to the districts you Zapp to introduce you. We’ll provide log-in information for the districts to view your profile (and documents) online.
Use EZ Document Manager and a Zapp together to send personalized cover letters or relevant work samples for specific jobs that you are really excited about. Go to the Purchase tab to purchase these services.
Should I purchase a paid service (Zapps, EZ Document Manager) or not?
Our advice to you is that if you have already narrowed down your job search to 1 or 2 districts, you can probably do without EZ Document Manager and Zapps. If, on the other hand, you have a broader search of more than 3 districts, these features will save you quite a bit of time and money. If you are still not sure, start with EdZapp’s free services, and decide later if you want to add Zapps or EZ Document Manager based on how your job search unfolds.
Has, or will, my information be sold to any third parties?
No, your information will not and has not been sold to third parties. EdZapp will not disclose to any third party your name, address, email address or telephone number without your prior consent, except to the extent necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or in legal proceedings where such information is relevant.
Is EdZapp Secure?
The application is protected by commercially reasonable levels of security, both at the hosting level, and at the application level by user- and group-level (role) securities based on authentication with login ID and password. All financial transactions are protected by a secure encrypted transmission layer.
What kind of privacy options do I have for employers viewing my resume?
You have three options when storing your resume on EdZapp:
- Visible When Activated, your application is searchable by all member districts,
- Restricted OR you may leave it visible and searchable only by districts you have Zapped, or with districts in which you have applied for jobs.
- Invisible OR you may leave it invisible to all districts.
What types of jobs are posted on EdZapp?
You will find certified teaching jobs, classified positions, and administrative job opportunities for public school districts and private schools.
Will the system work on either Windows or Apple systems?
Yes, the new online version accepts applications from either Windows or Apple systems. Our application works best with Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or higher) or Firefox (version 2.0) or Netscape. We cannot assure or support functionality of other browsers.
Why should I register?
When you register, you create a personal profile which includes your application, resume, cover letter, and letters of recommendations as well as other supplemental files. Once your profile is established online, multiple districts can search and review your application based on their job needs. You are assured better visibility with EdZapp than with a paper copy of your application that could get shuffled and lost on someone’s desk.
