Creating an Applicant Account

When you receive an invitation to create an account, your user permissions will be set by the person who sent the invite. If, however, you created an account without receiving an invitation, your permissions will default to the Applicant role.

If you created your own account and/or need to be assigned a different role within your district (such as Talent Manager), please reach out to your HR Director for assistance.

 

Viewing a Submitted Application and Creating an Account

You may submit applications without first registering an account from the public positions search. Further guidance on applying for a position can be found in the ‘Applicant Overview and Applying for Positions’ user guide. 

To view an existing application, you can click the View Application button found on either the confirmation screen on the site or from within the confirmation email.

When you do, you will be prompted to create a Sign in for the Educator Talent Portal by clicking the ‘Sign up now’ link or by using a social account link.  Be sure to use the same email address that was used to submit your application.  

When creating your account, you will be prompted to enter in another verification code to confirm your email account.  Enter the code and click Verify code. You must click Verify code before you can Continue. 

Once the email address has been verified, click Continue.

You will then be prompted to enter in your first and last name, as well as create a password for the site.  Note – the password must be 8-16 characters, containing 3 out of 4 of the following: Lowercase characters, uppercase characters, digits (0-9), and one or more of the following symbols: @ # $ % ^ & * - _ + = [ ] { } | \ : ' , ? / ` ~ " ( ) ;. 

Once all information has been entered, click Create.

Once your account is created, you will receive a welcome email from MDE.  From within the welcome email, click the Sign In button to login to the Educator Talent Portal.
