Bringing Schools & Teachers Together

Following are some ideas to bear in mind when completing your on-line CV within the TRS web-site.

Let schools find you.
By ticking the 'Let schools access my Confidential Profile” box in the 'Profile' area of your CV, this will enable schools to view your Profile and contact you each time they add a vacancy relevant to you. They will contact you via TRS to maintain your confidentiality. You should not put any information into the Confidential Profile that identifies you unless you are comfortable to do so.

Access to CV
You can also choose to make your CV (either the TRS online CV or your own downloaded version. You should only do this if you are comfortable for schools to have access to your CV.

If you choose to not make your CV available then schools can not access it. It is made available to school only when you choose to apply for a job.
