Swing Education 4+

Honestly it’s so annoying how you miss job opportunities because the app does not notify you when there’s a request but when you open it there’s a ton of request, so how can you see a good job opportunity if the app doesn’t notify you because by that time somebody already got that position or filled that spot

There’s supposedly a whole bunch of jobs in my area, however, I can’t see them. I email Swing to let them know that the only jobs I can see are an hour away, but they just tell me I’m not putting in the commute times correctly. Even when I change the commute times to 30 minutes away I still only get jobs 60-90 minutes away. I used to get jobs that were well paying also. Now the only jobs I see are very low paying. I have contacted Swing about this also, and they tell me it’s because I don’t have a teaching certificate! I do have a teaching certification, and Swing has it on file. Schools say they badly need subs, but I’m not seeing that they do need subs based on what I’m seeing on this app. I hope Swing fixes whatever is wrong with this app. I’ve had to quit working for them because of it.

Swing education is a great freelance service and company, let’s start there. The issue is the app simply doesn’t work properly. If it’s not skipping notifications (and losing you money in the process) it’s freezing and getting stuck on the loading page. When a school opens a sub request, you honestly have a matter of minutes to grab it before someone else does. That’s what makes it extremely frustrating when notifs don’t go through, or when you can’t even get access to your open requests page. Long story short just use the swing edu website and make sure your sms text message notifs are turned on. Don’t bother with the app it’s honestly unnecessary.
