Send Resume and Cover Letter or Fill Out Online Application?

[Climberman]

Has anyone ever gotten a job by filling out a school's online application?

It has been my experience that these are not given much attention by schools and merely filed away for the future - or never looked at.

Thanks for your help.

For my current school I completed the online application and uploaded my credentials and a cover letter. I interviewed for both the elementary and high school via Skype. I think taking the time to create personalized cover letters for each division, addressed to the principal in each, and tailored to the positions I was applying to may have helped get my application noticed. But then again, we have a pretty awesome HR Department that does a really good job, so who knows.
