Teacherafterschooljobs.com is a new job search website that is designed to provide teachers with part-time or seasonal employment, supplementing their current income. It will help educators match mature, responsible, educated people with employers who are looking for part-time or seasonal employment. While the revenue will come from the employer listing fees, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will have two general customers, the employers as well as the employees in search of the jobs. In addition to having a robust job board on their site, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will also offer tools for the educators, often consisting of a large list of useful hyperlinks. This feature is useful for both the employers and the employees who post jobs.
The Market
It is well known that educators are very dedicated professionals who work at below market wages. For a multitude of reasons, teachers are paid poorly in America. This is why a large number of teachers are seeking supplemental income. As mentioned previously, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will be receiving revenue from the employer listing fees. Targeted markets will include four distinct segments. The first is retail which has an annual growth rate of 50%. Teacherafterschooljobs.com believes there to be 50 potential customers in this segment. The next group is government with also a 50% growth rate and 40 possible customers. Private daycare and camps are also targets with a 25% growth rate, and potential customers. The last segment targeted will be education with a 10% growth rate and 20 customers.
Competitive Edge
Teacherafterschooljobs.com has a unique pool of prospective employees, all of the employees are professional educators who have skill sets centered on education, professionalism, and the passion and dedication commonly associated with teachers. This offers a significant distinction relative to the many other online job boards such as Monster and Hotjobs since they have very disparate cross sections of job seekers. Employers who post jobs will be attracted to companies that have a strong candidate pool.
Management
Teacherafterschooljobs.com will be developed and run by Patrice and Rosario Cibella. Rosario Cibella and Patrice are both educators who have worked in the field for more than ten years. They were both passionate teachers over many years. But they saw the enormous potential of an internet job board that offers seasonal and part-time opportunities for educators.

Rosario also has a background in education, however his was also mixed with administrative role as the vice principal of his school for six years. Rosario was responsible for the school’s operation as vice principal. This experience will be directly applied in leading Teacherafterschooljobs.com to become the premier specialized online job board.
