New Survey: Which region in the world would you most NOT want to move to next?

May 16, 2013

A new survey has arrived!

Topic:  Which region in the world would you most NOT want to move to next?

world copy

There is always going to be a region of the world that you would most NOT want to move to.  They always say at international school recruitment fairs to be open to positions in all areas of the world, but in reality that is just not likely for many candidates.  Though on the other hand, we also know some international school teachers that one time did take the risk and had selected a position in a region that they were not really interested in at the time, and then they ended up actually really enjoying their time living and working there.  Who knows then what the best advice is for teachers out on the look for a teaching job abroad at an international school?

Is there one region in the world that is more popular than the others?  We are not for sure.  The “popular” regions seem to keep on changing every few years or so.  On the other hand, there seems to be a group of international school teachers for each region of the world.  For those who will choose NOT to interview for a position in the Middle East, there are definitely a handful of other candidates that ARE interested in applying for that job in that region.Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 10.57.47 PM

There are many reasons that you would NOT choose to live and work in a specific region: Love, Travel, Career, Money, School, Location, etc.  Which ever reason or reasons that are the most important to you (at that specific time period in your life) will help you decide on which region is the best for you and NOT the best for you.

For the very flexible candidate, the one that has the goal to live in as many regions of the world as they can, they will be on the look out for a region that they haven’t been to yet!  Is there an international school teacher out there that has lived and worked in all the regions in the world?  If so, we would like to interview that person for our member spotlight feature.

So, which region in the world would you most NOT want to move to next?  Go to the homepage of International School Community and submit your vote today!  You can check out the latest voting results here.

Using the School Profile Search feature on International School Community: Search Result #10

April 10, 2013

Only on International School Community will you be able to search for the perfect international school for you.  You get the possibility to search (using our unique search engine) for international schools based on the type of school that best fits your criteria.  There are many different kinds of international schools: ones that are small in student numbers to ones that have more than 1200 students, ones that are for-profit to ones that are non-profit, ones that are in very large cities to ones that are in towns of only 1000 people, etc.  Each international school teacher has their own type of a school that best fits their needs as a teacher and as a professional.  Your personal life is also very important when you are trying to find the right match.  Most of us know what it is like to be working at an international school that doesn’t fit your needs, so it’s best to find one that does!

Utilizing the School Profile Search feature on International School Community, you can search our 1401 schools (updated 10 April 2013) for the perfect school using up to 8 different criteria.  The 8 criteria are: Region of the world, Curriculum, School Nature, Number of Students, Country, Year Founded, Kinds of Students and Size of City.  You can do a school profile search in three different locations on our website: the homepage, the Schools List page and on the side of every school profile page. Check out our past school profile search results here.

New Survey: How easy it is for you get reimbursed for things at your school?

March 13, 2013

A new survey has arrived!

Topic:  How easy it is for you get reimbursed for things at your school?

Screen Shot 2013-03-13 at 6.12.12 PM

There is nothing good about not getting reimbursed for things that are a part of your contract/benefits.  It is also not fun when you purchase things for the school and the process of getting reimbursed for those things is either nearly impossible or you must wait for 3-5 months to get your money back (or even longer at some international schools!).

When international school teachers are worried about the money that is owed to them by the school, things can get even more stressful when living abroad in a foreign country.  Many international school teachers would very much appreciate a quick and easy system in place to get the money that is owed to them by the school.  However, that is not always the case…as we all know all too well.images

The issue with a quick reimbursement might be related to what country your school is in (or what city), whether your school is a for-profit one or non-profit, or it might be related to the competency and effectiveness of the business department.

It is also important to remember that there might also be a language and/or cultural barrier that delays your reimbursement.  Some countries have specific ways of getting “official” receipts, and knowing about these specific ways can speed up the reimbursement process for you.  If you don’t follow the guidelines of the school and country for getting the right receipt, you will soon find out those guidelines after you try and hand in your first receipts!

So, how easy it is for you get reimbursed for things at your international school??  Go to the homepage of International School Community and submit your vote today!  You can check out the latest voting results here.
