Nice Layout with NO content

Set up online and choose to use the app. All my requirements have been completed and profile/preferences set..but nothing show for jobs to select and I know there are some because I talked directly to a teacher who wants me to grab her request from the job pool.

I am not getting notifications of jobs at my school

Hardly Get Any Jobs With This App

At first I was receiving lots of jobs, now hardly any at all. I don’t know if it’s my districts selected or the app. Really aggravated as the whole reason I applied with ESS and WillSub is for substitute teacher jobs. I love the career when I actually get jobs to work. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s not cool.

Now constant technical difficulties with the app and site. Sick to death of this! I hate my schools use this app and site. Awful!

No longer receiving notifications

This app used to work wonderfully for me. One day it just stopped providing notifications for jobs. Hoping they will receive my ticket, and I will receive a solution soon!
