While I applied ....
Hi
I'm not sure I understand the sentence below:
While I applied for teaching positions, I worked in the education department of a nonprofit.
--- Does it mean that this person applied for teaching positions (but haven't found any yet) and in the meantime was working for some nonprofit organization?

It does not imply that they have not yet found a teaching position. Maybe they found one, maybe they didn't. Otherwise, what you say is correct.
