I'm applying for a staff position and I'm locked out of my jobs.teachforamerica.org account. How can I reset my password?

If you clicked on the “Forgot your password?” link and are trying to log in using the temporary password that was sent to your email address, make sure there are no spaces before or after your username (which is your email address) and password. Spaces count as a character, and the application system will not recognize your information if you include a space. Type the new password directly into the field rather than copying and pasting it into the field.
