[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Its hard to see what bitches you are inside the bubble. Not true about W getting more applications. You just made that up. The hiring in MoCo is dire. Every job (that is not in a high need subject like calculus) get a ton of applicants. [/quote]

I was referring to the transfer season (the time when teachers VOLUNTARILY switch schools), and if you read my original post correctly the first time you'd see that word (transfer) in there.

That aside, you don't know what you're writing about when it comes to how MCPS hires.  Sure MCPS gets many applications for every teaching opening.  Central personnel gives a small percentage of them the go-ahead to interview at schools with an opening.  This go-ahead is NOT a job offer.

Teacher openings are posted on a secure website that only current MCPS employees can access.  The openings are publicly published only after all involuntary transfers have found a new school.  Schools with an opening interview internal transfer candidates first.  If they don't like any of these candidates, they then hope that all involuntary transfers find a placement.  If that happens, schools that still have openings get to choose whom they hire from those who received the go-ahead from central office.

When there's an opening at a W, they get a ton more applications for each opening they have than a non-W receives both during the transfer season and after all involuntaries have been placed.  I spent many years interviewing candidates for openings at a W.  We always had many more requests for interviews than time allowed at the annual MCPS transfer job fair.  Other schools had numerous interview openings.  [/quote]
