4. Quick REAP Note on "To Apply Click Here" Links within a Job Description

When viewing a job posting, always read the entire description. Often prospective employers will include a link that navigates you to their website where you may be asked to apply. If this takes place, the application process you undergo is independent of REAP and may be handled by Applitrack/Frontline, TalentED, etc. A link within the job description always takes precedence over the "Notify District I'm Interested" icon. In other words, if you see a link to apply, always click on it to ensure that you are applying with the district on their website. If you need support for your Applitrack/Frontline application you will need to once again, click on the link within the job description to navigate to the school's website, find the job opportunity you originally selected and click on it. Then, when prompted to log in, click on the "forgot password" link.
