Job Fair Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the job fair held?

The job fair is held on the Peak to Peak Charter School Campus.

What time does the job fair start?

In years when an in-person event is held, the doors to the job fair open at 9:00 AM on the day of the event. Many teacher candidates begin lining up at the doors an hour prior to the start of the event, and entry is first-come first-served.

A full schedule for the event is available on the Information for Teachers webpage.

How does the in-person job fair "work"?

The first hour of the job fair is designated for interview sign-up. Teacher candidates will circulate to school tables where sign-up sheets will be available. Teacher candidates will be provided with resources to help track their interview times and schools. The remainder of the event is reserved for 15-minute interview blocks. Teacher candidates who have never attended a job fair are encouraged to attend the Job Fair Workshop for Teacher Candidates. This workshop will give attendees a competitive advantage by detailing the Charter School Teacher Job Fair logistics, as well as providing important tips for success at any job fair.

Where do I park for the in-person event?

A map of the campus and parking areas is provided on the Information for Teachers webpage.

Which charter schools will be attending the job fair and what are the job openings at each school?

Schools attending the job fair are posted as they register for the event. When schools make the information available, job openings are also posted. Many schools do not know the positions for which they will be hiring until the day of the job fair, and often will have additional openings develop after the date of the job fair. The date of the job fair is strategically selected to coincide with the hiring season; however, many schools hire well into the fall. We strongly suggest teacher candidates research each school by visiting school websites, and then reviewing the job openings and the hiring process at each school. We have provided links in the table of schools.

Will all schools be interviewing at the job fair?

Each school manages its time differently. The schedule for the in-person job fair allows schools to conduct 15-minute interviews following the 1-hour sign-up period at the start of the event. Some schools choose to only collect resumes or conduct "meet and greets." When available, information will be provided at the door regarding each school's plan for the day. For schools only conducting "meet and greets," you can anticipate chatting with a recruiter and the potential to schedule an interview at a later time or date.

Do I need a current Colorado teaching license to teach at a charter school?

Every charter school operates differently with respect to teacher licensing and qualifications, and many charter schools are not required to hire licensed teachers. Teacher candidates are strongly encouraged to research each school's requirements in advance.

What do I bring with me and what should I wear to the in-person event?

Brief preparation tips are provided on the Information for Teachers webpage. Teacher candidates are encouraged to attend the Job Fair Workshop for Teacher Candidates. This workshop will give attendees a competitive advantage by detailing the Charter School Teacher Job Fair logistics, as well as providing important tips for success at any job fair.

Do you make interview sign-ups available electronically in advance of the in-person event?

No. All interview sign-ups will occur from 9:00 AM to 10:00AM on the day of the in-person job fair.

I am scheduled to take the PLACE/PRAXIS that morning, can I just attend the afternoon of the in-person job fair?

Teacher candidates are welcome to attend the job fair at any time. However, because interview sign-ups occur during the first hour and a half of the day, we can not make any guarantees that schools will have interview slots available in the afternoon. Occasionally, a school may have an extra representative available to interview individuals arriving later in the day, or a school may have a slot open up.

Can I send a proxy to the in-person event to sign me up for interviews?

Teacher candidates with morning conflicts have used this strategy in the past to secure interview spots.

Can I print my resume while I am at the in-person job fair?

No. Copy machines and printers will not be available. Wi-fi access may be available.

How do I apply for a job at Peak to Peak?
