Why do all of my applications come back as "closed"?

Hello, I have been a member of TeachAway for almost two years now. I have applied to numerous positions, all of which I meet the requirements for. However, each application I have submitted has come back saying "closed". No explanation is given on your site that I have seen except the standard/rote "you didn't meet the requirements" or there must have been "numerous applicants". Is there anyway someone can actually reach out to me via email to explain what I am doing wrong, or what else I possibly need to add to my application? I am very close to finding an alternative means to teaching abroad due to the fact that I have received zilch as far as job offers or assistance.
Thank you,
Collett

    Hello Collette:

    Welcome to the forum!

    I had a quick look at your profile and you do have good qualifications and experience under your belt. Your most recent experience and qualifications are in Special Education, and you have been applying to positions across the board across a variety of subjects. This means that you will need to have two years of relevant teaching experience at the required teaching level (for example, if you were applying to teach high school level English, then you would need to have had at least two years of teaching high school English; elementary or middle school level would not be accepted)
    Your best bet is to apply to Special Education positions, you can view all positions available here :https://www.teachaway.com/teaching-jobs-abroad?loc=All&jcat=All&sub=Special+Education&lvl=All . And for the positions that you had applied and do have relevant experience in, keep an open mind and apply to the positions as they become available

    Good luck with your applications
    Best,
    Shirin
