Thank you for taking advantage of the Ascend Ed Leadership Job Application Template Bundle from The Principal Center. It's my hope that these templates, tools, and trainings give you a major competitive edge in the job search process.
A note about persistence: the admin job search isn't typically a one-and-done process. You may get the first job you apply for, but for most people, it's a slog—weeks and months of applying, interviewing, and most of all, waiting.
Keep your head up, keep applying, and keep making yourself a more competitive candidate at every stage of the process. Every year, I receive dozens of "I got the job!" emails from people just like you—leaders who put in the work and stick with it until they land the job they're looking for. You've got this!
Sincerely,
Justin Baeder, PhD
