Answers to common questions regarding the online application

  1. I don't remember my password or user id.
    When you go to the online web page - http://winoc.fortbend.k12.tx.us/appentry/, click the 'Have you already applied?' link.  Click the link on the bottom left 'Forget your password?'  You have several options, but most people enter their social security number to see their password hint.  If your hint didn't help you remember your password, your last option on this page is to enter your social security number so your password can be emailed to you.  Your email will list your User ID, password, password hint, and PID# (personal ID#).
  2. I'm not a teacher and some of the questions ask about a teaching certificate.
    Since the professional application is used for teachers, substitutes, and administrators, many of the fields are not required.  You only have to answer questions with the red triangle next to it.
  3. I am student teacher or in an alternative certification program but haven't taken my content area certification exam yet.  Should I leave the certification area blank?
    Even if you haven't taken your content area exam, you need to show your area of certification.  In the 'certification/licensure type' field, you can show your certification as 'not yet certified' or 'pending.'  It is important to list your area of certification, since we may contact you before you are fully certified.
  4. I applied online and sent in my required documents.  When will my application be viewable?
    Teachers - Once we screen your application and have proof of certification, your file is made viewable for the principals.  We ask that you either upload, fax, email, or mail copies of your transcripts, ACP letter, etc. to us as quickly as possible.
    Paraprofessionals/Classified - Once we screen your application and receive     copies of your high school diploma or GED equivalent and/or transcript, if applicable, your file is made viewable for the principals/supervisors.
  5. I have tried several times to upload my documents but can't get it to work.
    A common mistake applicants make is trying to upload a Word document.  However, the instructions state that t    he following are the only allowed file types / extensions for uploading: HTML (.htm, .html); PDF (.pdf); RTF (.rtf); and text (.txt). All other file types (ex., Word .doc) will be rejected.  If you have any problems, please mail your documents to Human Resources or fax them at 281.634.1270.
  6. I don't have any documents to upload but it the application won't let me submit it.
    Uploading documents is not required.   Just hit 'continue' on that page to save and move to the next page. 
  7. When I hit the 'submit' button, it told me I needed to add my documents.
    Uploading documents is not a required field.  It is important to always hit the 'continue' button at the bottom of every page to save and move to the next page instead of clicking the links on the left side of the page.  As you complete each section of the online application, the links on the left will turn from red to green.  When you are finished with your application, you must hit the 'submit' button in order for Human Resources to receive it.
  8. I registered online and received an email.  Does that mean you have my online application?
    When you register, you receive an email reminding you of your username, password, and password hint.  It also gives you your PID#.  You can use that number whenever you call us instead of your social security number.  You have seven (7) days to complete the online application before your data is deleted from the system.  When you hit the 'submit' button, the system will tell you that you have successfully submitted your online application.
  9. I applied online and submitted my paperwork but haven't heard from any principals.
    Once you apply online and submit your required paperwork, we encourage you to monitor our web sites for vacancies in your area of certification and/or interest.  For posted positions on the Professional/Administrative, Paraprofessional and Classified pages, you need to submit your resume and     identify position for which you are applying (Employment Preferences/Add Position on your online application).  For teacher vacancies, visit the elementary, middle and/or high school vacancy pages for openings in your area of certification.  If you click on the campus name, you can find out more information about the campus and find the principal's email address under the 'faculty' list (Regular teacher vacancies are not listed on the application's pull down menu). 
  10. I applied AS A TEACHER BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY OF THE ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER VACANCIES ON THE PULL-DOWN MENU ON THE ONLINE APPLICATION.
     The pull-down menu on the professional-substitute-teacher application is only for vacancies posted on the Professional/Administrative web page.  For teacher vacancies, please send your resume to the campus principals.
    The pull-down menu on the paraprofessional-classified application is for all jobs posted on the paraprofessional and classified web pages.

If you still have a question or concern about your online application, please email HR or call us at 281.634.1270.
