Are you looking to book more work on ClassCover? It starts with your ClassCover profile. Schools are more likely to choose educators who maintain a complete, up-to-date profile. And it’s not just new schools – schools you are already connected with need to see that you still meet their requirements to teach as well. Here are some tips to help you build strong relationships with schools and secure more work on ClassCover.
Keep Your Availability Updated
Updating your availability regularly is one of the most important things you can do to increase your chances of being booked. Teachers with up-to-date availability are 7 times more likely to be booked by schools than those who don’t maintain their schedules.
Tip: Set a weekly reminder, perhaps on Sunday afternoon, to update your availability in just 2 minutes. You can easily do this by opting in to the email reminders from ClassCover.
Put a Face to the Name
Teachers with profile pictures are 3 times more likely to be asked to teach at new schools. Why? First impressions matter, and your profile picture is the first impression many schools will have of you.
Tip: Upload a professional photo to your profile. A friendly, well-lit headshot from the shoulders up will help you stand out.
Build Relationships at School
Getting more work is easy when you have good relationships with the schools in your area. If you’ve already connected on ClassCover, take the time to introduce yourself to fellow teachers, school leaders and admin staff whenever you’re at a school. This recognition will go a long way and you’ll be first pick when it comes time to book a casual.
Pro Tip: If you’re looking for more work, it’s a great idea to visit schools in your area and introduce yourself to admin staff and school leaders. Bonus points if you can mention that you’ve already asked to join their list on ClassCover.
Keep Your Important Info Up to Date
Schools regularly check their list to ensure all casuals are still eligible to teach and have up-to-date training certifications. Make sure your profile reflects this.
A strong ClassCover profile is essential for securing more work. Keep your availability updated, add a professional photo, connect with schools, and ensure your qualifications are current to increase your chances of being booked and stand out to schools.
