Hello,

I applied for a current job, that is still a featured job but within a day my application was closed. I didn't get a phone call or email regarding an interview or anything. Would there be a reason for it being closed without any type of contact?

    Hi Janice!

    I've experienced the same issue. A job is listed as closed in the jobs to which I have applied, yet the same position is still listed as a featured job. Please advise. Thank you!

    Hi James, it seems the positions you have applied for are on hold by the school at this time, so they have closed these applications for now. I suggest that you keep applying to more vice principal and other principal positions with a different program.

    Thank you Janice.

    Would I have the opportunity to apply for those positions once they are re-opened?

    You should be able to. In the meantime, I'd recommend that you keep an eye out and apply for other positions you qualify for and are interested in. Good luck!

    Hi Jason, it seems you haven't filled out the "experience" portion, so you're being automatically denied for positions because of this missing piece. Please ensure you fill this out prior to applying to more positions and make sure you're applying to positions for which you have relevant experience in. For example, if you have experience teaching math to high school students, you should apply to math teaching positions for high school students.

    Hi Katie, are you currently teaching with ADEC but wanting to teach with ESOL? My guess is that the experience in your profile has not been updated with your ADEC teaching experience, so the last experience we have is from 2013. Unfortunately we don't have anything in place to add your experience from teaching positions that you have received through us, but I will definitely suggest this to our developers to improve upon. If you could kindly update your experience with your ADEC experience, that would be wonderful. Let me know, and if you are still set on that Hong Kong position, I can tell the placement coordinator to take a look at your profile again.

    Some of the posts that I applied for have also been closed. Should I apply for different posts or should I wait and see if these will reopen?

    Hi Christo, if the posting has been marked as closed on your dashboard, I recommend that you apply for other positions of interest. Unfortunately they may take a long while to reopen again, so definitely keep applying for other positions you qualify for. Good luck!

    Hi dear
    I have submitted my application for teaching in Qatar and on my dashboard it says my application is 'submitted' under the active tab. It also says 'closed' under the closed tab. I have completed my profile 100%. The job start date is February 2016.The job i applied is still stated in the job featured. Now I'm really confused. Does that mean my application is still under review ? Or has the positions been filled? I would really appreciate ur reply. Thank you. Sangeet

    Hi, I have applied for 6-7 positions within Qatar and the UAE and all of my applications have been closed. The jobs, however, are still being advertised? Is there a reason for this?
    Thank you

    Hi Lyndsay, if the job appears closed on your dashboard, this means that your application is unfortunately unsuccessful. I took a quick look at your profile and the jobs you've applied for, and it seems that you aren't qualified for some of them, considering your experience and degrees. For example, the counselor position does require 3 years of experience as a counselor as a minimum. Please make sure you take a close look at the job requirements before clicking the apply button. I recommend applying to primary or elementary teaching positions that require less than 2 years of teaching experience.

    Hi, I've applied to separate positions for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and UAE and all three of my applications have been closed. I'm a veteran teacher with excellent experience and strong credentials. I'm curious what the status of my application is, and if they have been unsuccessful why they were declined. Thank you.

    I recently applied to attend the San Fran interviews. I noticed that my profile on the right says 0 years of principal experience. I would like to apply for Special Education teacher positions, should any open for the upcoming school year. I have taught full time since 2007 as a fully licensed Special Education teacher. I'm not sure why my profile says "principal" or why my application to attend the San Fran interviews was closed.

    Hello, my situation appears to be similar as suggested by others. However, I have a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. I have also been a district level administrator for over 10 years. Why are my applications closed?

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for your question. I've taken a look at your profile and it does look like your info is accurately reflected.

    I'm going to connect with our recruitment team here and see if I can get some more details for you.

    Thanks for your patience,
    Brett

    Lisa,

    Just following up on this again .A couple questions for you:

    - Are you applying primarily for teaching positions or admin roles?
    - Are you seeking positions with benefits for a spouse and/or other dependents?

    Please keep in mind when applying for jobs that a lot of the requirements are not necessarily employer requirements, but set-in-stone visa requirements. Often these have to do with dependents, your bachelor's degree, and specific type of teaching certificate. My advice at this point would be to very carefully check requirements on each job you apply for and to keep in mind that in some instances your application will be automatically closed if you don't meet the country's visa requirements.

    I'll let you know if I get more info and please, feel free to ask if you have further questions.

    Best,
    Brett
