I'd like to express my frustration and displeasure with the updated Schoolspring interface. Searching has become much more cumbersome and difficult. A case in point:
- To search for jobs in a specific district, I need to input the city or zip. OK, fair enough, but rather than do this multiple times for multiple districts, I'd prefer to be able to search by geographic radius.
- Using the map is near impossible. It seems I can search by EITHER specific zip OR entire state, followed by a convenient eight or nine clicks to zoom the map into my desired geographic area. It was so much easier to simply search within a specific radius on the old platform.
- Rather than seeing all jobs recently posted within that radius, I now have to search for specific job title. OK, that's fair enough..."teacher" seems obvious. So obvious that it sounds kind of silly to search for the job of "teacher" on a site dedicated to posting teacher jobs. But this search doesn't account for the multitude of titles and synonymous positions across districts. It's been a lot of fun looking for a library position searching repeatedly for different synonyms for this job..."LMS", "librarian", "library", "digital literacy", "technology". Again, unnecessarily cumbersome.
Please bring back a dedicated geographic radius search as well as a recently posted jobs feature for within that radius. The map just isn't cutting it.
