A few entries that we would like to highlight:<\/p>\n Off to NYC (Fact v Fiction)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt seems as if the further I travel, the less well trodden the paths, the more that the western so-called developed world in which I grew up becomes foreign and strange. Each person\u2019s world-view is, of course, plastic and fluid, moulded by the environment in which we live and the experiences we undergo. Looking back to my own parochial working class Lancastrian upbringing in the late 60s and through the 70s I cannot even find the words to describe the changes that have impacted on how I now see the world. So, looking at my son and his experiences \u2013 and considering how rapidly the world is changing \u2013 I cannot even begin to comprehend how his world-view will develop in the decades to come. Multiply him by the 390+ other students in my school and the challenge of preparing young people for the future is wildly self-evident.\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n It is exciting working at an international school teaching an international curriculum as it is most likely not<\/strong> how most of us went to school back when we were younger. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n At times, living overseas isn’t always the easiest\u00a0thing and there are challenges that present themselves.

It is a world of snap judgements and horse trading. It is a world where the relief at having survived trumps the ludicrous farce in which we all play a part.<\/p>\n Now that is some real insight into the recruitment fair experience, from the administrator’s perspective.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Heading off to a recruitment fair anyway? \u00a0For some helpful advice, check out our blog series\u00a0called\u00a0“Nine Lessons Learned Regarding International School Hiring Fairs.<\/a>” \u00a0As a sneak peek, lesson number one is “Bad interviews are good things.<\/a>“<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n ************************************ \u2022\u00a0<\/strong>The American School of Kinshasa <\/a>(Kinshasa, Congo (DRC))<\/span> – 52 Comments<\/strong> Additionally, there are 87 International School Community members who currently live in Sub Saharan Africa.
