Wyzant Does Not Allow Me To Apply for Qualified Jobs

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Donovan M. I am approved by Wyzant to teach online as well as by traveling. I am approved in Spanish, Geography, U.S. History, TOEFL, and Algebra 1.


I recently tried to apply for a Spanish tutoring job that was available. However, the title was grey instead of blue, so it did not allow me to apply for it. It also did not say I was not qualified on top.


Why is it that Wyzant Does not allow me to apply for jobs in the 5 subjects that I am qualified for; even when I always get emails about student opportunities, including ones that no one has applied for yet?


Please let me know. My email address is [email protected]


Sincerely

Donovan M.

Did they mention how long it takes to approve your application?

It's only supposed to take a week and the representative I spoke to when I wrote my original answer told me that I'd get approved in the next few days, but it actually took me 14 days from starting my account to becoming approved.

Thanks so much! Probably the same reason why no picture appears by my name!

Anyone know what they could possibly be checking on? I actually paid for a background check on me (which wasn't required) and I got a message that the report came back clean, of course...that was a week ago, and I still may not be approved for another day or two. But if they're not waiting for results of a background check, what else could be taking so long?

Another thing some employers look into (so I've heard) is a prospective employee's credit history/score. Okay, that's fine, but they didn't say they'd be running a credit check on me, so again, that doesn't seem to be the holdup. Again, my background check came up clean...

Has anyone had success applying and getting approved so that they can apply for jobs and begin teaching? Do we need to submit background checks? Which other steps need to be completed for the process to begin?
