App does not work

This app does not work. It asks for an email and a password as if I’ve already signed up for an account. I haven’t. But I gave my email anyways to reset the password and it never sends the reset link

Pick up a job

It’s very difficult for a sub to get a job easy on the app because he gets picked up so fast because you have to be on your device 24 seven to get a job he cannot make it very hard on us to sub

Professional

Why do the para jobs get lumped in with the teacher jobs? That wastes so much of my time. I should be able to filter out all para jobs so I don’t see them.
