Remember these when Emailing School Principals 😁πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ™πŸΌβ€οΈπŸ’™πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ«πŸ‘¨β€πŸ« Here are key mistakes to avoid to ensure your application is taken seriously:

1. Don't BCC multiple principals to mass-email your application. This is immediately obvious and shows a lack of genuine interest in their specific school, making your email feel like impersonal spam;

2. Don't use generic salutations like "Dear Principal" or "To Whom It May Concern." Kasi this signals that you didn't take a moment to find their name, which comes across as lazy and undermines your claim of being interested in their school;

3. Don't use a comma (,) at the end of your salutation. Comma is not the standard and professional format for business emails;

4. Don't use "Ma'am" or "Sir." Using their proper title and last name is the respectful norm;

5. Don't assume marital titles like "Mrs." or "Miss." The universally safe, professional, and respectful address is "Ms." for women or, best of all, the professional title they use (e.g., "Dr.," "Principal").

REMEMBER: As an educator, your communication is a direct reflection of your professionalism and attention to detail; even minor mistakes can create a negative impression. πŸ˜πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ«πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ™πŸΌπŸ§Ώ

Nag start lang sa simpleng message ni maam sa atin kung paano mag enrol sa ating Mentoring Program at ngayon andito na siya sa Jumerika! Dreams do come true talaga.

May God bless you po maam.

Achieving your American dream depends on a combination of qualifications, timing, interview performance, personal circumstances, and faith in God.πŸ˜β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‘¨β€πŸ«πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ«πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸŒΈπŸ§Ώ

Pag a school hires you, these are the common documents they will ask for. However, please note that every school district is different:

1. Employment Verification Form: The school has its own form, which you must fill out and have signed by your previous schools.

2. Copy of your FCE (Foreign Credential Evaluation): You can provide your copy, or request a new one from the evaluation service, as some schools prefer a sealed copy.

3. Copy of your US State Teaching Certificate/License (not your PRC license). If you don't have this yet, most schools will help you with the process.

4. US-based Bank Account: This is where your salary will be deposited.

5. Social Security Number: You can only get this once you are in the US.

6. Visa Copy and DS-2019 Form.

7. Fingerprint Results: Normally, you fill out a form in the US, and the agency forwards the results to the school. Most schools cover this cost.

8. Onboarding Packet/Documents: These include insurance policies, retirement plans, and more.

9. Signing your Contract: The Job Offer (JO) you received in the Philippines is different from the official contract you will sign.

10. If I forgot anything, please feel free to add it!

Now, you might be wondering: "Why do I need to process so many documents here in the Philippines already?"

Answer:

It's because your Visa Sponsor may need certain documents to confirm you are eligible to teach in the US. Also, many documents are required for the visa processing itself.

Yes, there will be times you resubmit copies (like the FCE) because each agency involved, your Visa Sponsor and your hiring school, needs its own copy.

My advice is to please be patient. The paperwork is a lot of work. Stay organized: keep all documents in one folder or a single digital drive so they are easy to find.

Disclaimer: This list is based on common requirements, but the process can vary.

Sino kaya sa kanila ang mas mataas ang chance makakuha ng Principal Interview nang mas mabilis?

A. Isang g**o na may mga advanced degree, beterano, at maraming nagawa sa propesyon, ngunit isa o dalawang paaralan lamang ang inaapplyan sa loob ng isang linggo;

B. Isang g**o na Bachelor's Degree ang natapos, walang karanasan sa pagko-coach o iba pang natatanging nagawa, wala pang 10 taon ang karanasan, ngunit mahigit 20 paaralan at lahat ng Visa Sponsor ay nasubmitan na ng aplikasyon;

C. Isang g**o na may mga advanced degree, ngunit mabilis na tumigil sa pag-aapply dahil sa maraming tanggihan. Naghihintay na lamang siya ng email mula sa mga naisumit niyang aplikasyon;

D. Isang g**o na sa Applitrack o sa isang Visa Sponsor lamang nag-aapply.

---------

The answer is B.

Even though Teacher B has simpler qualifications (only a Bachelor’s degree, no coaching achievements, and less than 10 years of experience), the strategy of applying to more than 20 schools and every available Visa Sponsor gives the best chance of getting an interview faster.

In teacher recruitment, especially for international hires, applying to many places is often the most effective approach. More applications mean more opportunities to be seen and selected for an interview. Being proactive and persistent usually leads to faster results than being highly qualified but applying to only a few schools (like Teacher A) or giving up after rejections (like Teacher C).

DISCLAIMER: This insight is based on my experience coaching teachers through the US recruitment process for the past three years. While this strategy has proven effective for many, every candidate's journey is unique. What works for one may not resonate with everyone, as success depends on a combination of qualifications, timing, interview performance, and personal circumstances.πŸ˜β€οΈπŸ’™πŸŒΈπŸ™πŸΌπŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ«πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‘¨β€πŸ«
