Going to one to two interviews at an international school recruitment fair can probably mean one of four things:<\/p>\n

\u2022 You probably don’t have very much experience teaching in general and teaching at international schools and are finding it hard to get schools’ attention.
\n\u2022 You have a lot of experience, but you are now very specific on where exactly that you would like to move to next in the world.
\n\u2022 You have a lot of experience, and you are very specific about which top international school that you would like to work at next in your career.
\n\u2022 Or there is a lot of competition this year which means there might be many other candidates vying for the same position vacancy.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you just might not be up for going to five, six, seven interviews.\u00a0 More interview can equal to more stress for you at the fair.\u00a0 On the other hand, if you are very desirable to international schools at the fair and are open to where you would like to go, the more interviews you secure the better the odds that you will get some job offers!<\/p>\n

There are many factors to consider when deciding on which international school at which to work.\u00a0 Figuring out how and where an international school recruits can prove to be helpful information to know; just so that you are prepared and can make the necessary and appropriate plans. \u00a0Luckily on\u00a0International School Community<\/a>,\u00a0we have a School Information section in the comments and information part of each school\u2019s profile page that discusses this very topic.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Describe their hiring policies. Which recruiting fairs do they go to? How do they typically hire (e.g. face-to-face interview, Skype, etc.)? Are there any hiring restrictions mandated by the country?

There have been many comments and information submitted in this topic on numerous school profiles on our website.<\/p>\n

One\u00a0International School Community<\/a>\u00a0member said about working at Misr American College (37 Comments)<\/a>: \u201cM.A.C. attends the Cambridge job fair in Boston which is hosted by Search Associates and they have also attended the Dubai fair. I have seen their ads on TIEonline as well. They will also do skype interviewing. They employ a variety of ways to get their teachers. I was able to bring my spouse when I signed on with them and they helped get his residency. Not sure if they are still doing this though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0member said about working at Seoul International School (69 Comments)<\/a>: \u201cThey use Search & ISS and do a lot of recruiting in Canada (all of the heads of the school are Canadian). Last year the HS principal did a lot of interviewing via Skype.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0member submitted a comment about working at Colegio Granadino Manizales (43 Comments)<\/a>: \u201cI was hired at the recruiting fair in Kingston, Ontario, As far as I know, they also attend the Iowa fair and some teachers are hired via Skype.\u201d<\/p>\n
