A new blog topic on International School Community<\/a>: Comments and information about hiring policies<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every week members are leaving information and comments about the hiring policies at international schools around the world.\u00a0 Which ones go to the Search Associates Recruitment Fairs?\u00a0 Which ones hold interviews over Skype?\u00a0 Which ones have hiring restrictions imposed on them by the host country?\u00a0 All important questions to think about when job searching, but where to find the answers to those questions?<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is hard to keep track of which international schools go to which recruitment fairs and which international schools employ which interview style and tactic.\u00a0 At International School Community<\/a>, we want to make the search for information about hiring policies easier for international school teachers. In the school section of each international school profile page on our website, there is a section specific to the school\u2019s hiring policies.\u00a0 The topic is: \u201cDescribe 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?\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are 3 out of the many comments and information related to the hiring policies of international schools that have been posted on our website:<\/p>\n

Western Academy Beijing<\/strong><\/strong>

\u201cGo to SEARCH fairs in Bangkok, London and Boston. Also other fairs in New York, San Francisco and Toronto Some people hired after SKYPE interviews \u2013 often people who have been recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIf the candidate is not present in Kuwait, the interview will take place via phone. Standard questions related your experience and suitability for the position will be covered. In addition, you will be asked about your age, your marital status, your state of health, and height\/weight. Such questions are customary for overseas positions. All successful applicants will be required to email or send a 3 minute DVD of himself\/herself delivering a sample lesson within their subject area.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong> International School Singapore<\/strong><\/a>

\n\u201cI interviewed with this school last March. It was over Skype with the elementary principal. She was very nice. The interview was professional, but also a bit informal which is what I prefer, a more casual conversation about my teaching experience and the school. I actually was emailed again to have a 2nd interview. After the 2nd interview I was told that they were going to go with a local hire. She told me that they have hired expat in the past that have been surprised (not prepared) to handle the high cost of living in Singapore vs. the salary and benefits of the school.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
