Two job fairs will be taking place this weekend for those looking to jumpstart a career in education.

Both the Oxford and Lafayette School Districts will be hosting fairs on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The OSD fair will be held at Oxford High School (101 Charger Loop) in the commons area. The event is for teacher and administrator candidates. Those interested are encouraged to fill out a form (www.oxfordsd.org/JobFairForm) before Saturday morning. Educators should bring a current resume and professional portfolio. Oxford principals and administrators will be present to discuss available opportunities.

Those interested in applying should have one of the following: a Mississippi preliminary certificate, a professional teaching credential (if from outside the state), teaching credential by Fall 2018 or at least one year of experience in a teaching intern program.

Any questions can be directed to Doug Cromwell, director of personnel, operations and planning at dfcromwell@oxfordsd.org.

The Lafayette event will take place in the commons of Lafayette High School (160 Commodore Dr.) and participants are also encouraged to bring resumes.
