<\/p>\nIf you are job-searching this school year, then going to a recruitment fair is definitely on your mind. To keep your mind set on the right path both before and during the fairs, here are 8 helpful reminders on how to find success at an international school recruitment fair:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Keep an open mind<\/strong> \u2013 when attending the Fair you will be meeting many different schools at once. Whilst it’s always helpful to have an idea of what you are seeking, it also doesn’t hurt to remain open-minded to options you hadn\u2019t previously considered.<\/p>\n 2. Go to the PD Workshops<\/strong> \u2013 the feedback we have received from past attendees has been that the PD workshops are well worth attending. It’s a great opportunity to understand better the curriculum, culture and expectations of your potential new school and to connect with other teachers.<\/p>\n 3. Get involved<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s also your chance to shine! You can make sure you get noticed and stand out from the crowd by actively participating in the workshops. It helps to demonstrate your teaching skills.<\/p>\n 4. Prepare some key questions<\/strong> \u2013 before the interview stage you will get your chance to meet and greet with various schools and make an initial introduction. You don\u2019t necessarily always have the luxury of time at the Fairs so make sure you have done your research and go ready to maximize your allotted slot.<\/p>\n 5. Network\u00a0<\/strong>– there should be time to mingle and get to know the other teachers, sponsors and schools. The day needs to be broken up a bit from just interview after interview and it helps to make connections in a slightly more relaxed setting sometimes.<\/p>\n 6. Shop Around<\/strong> \u2013 it makes sense to talk to as many schools as possible to get a good idea of what\u2019s available.<\/p>\n 7. Be Yourself\u00a0<\/strong>– Give the schools a chance to see who you really are. Honesty is after all, the best policy. You are far more likely to end up in the right school environment and in a positive new role where you can flourish if transparency is respected and championed from the start.<\/p>\n 8. Relax<\/strong> \u2013 and smile! The Fairs are quite intensive in terms of the amount of interviewing that can take place over those 3 days. A smile can go a long way in contributing to a pleasant Fair environment for everyone.<\/p>\n To learn more about what to expect from the Fairs environment, check out these\u00a0past attendee experiences<\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0team at Explore CRS<\/a> facilitates a number of different programs to help applicants find teaching opportunities in wider Asia. In addition to posting current vacancies and providing consultation services, they\u00a0also organize recruitment fairs that match candidates with recruiters actively looking for talent for their schools. Applicants will be interviewed on-site, and at last year\u2019s fair over two-thirds of all attending candidates were offered positions. An added benefit of attending the Fairs is an opportunity to take part in our Professional Development workshops, after which all attendees can receive certification.<\/p>\n They\u00a0have two upcoming recruitment fairs in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai that you may want to check out if you have considered teaching abroad. The dates are as follows:<\/p>\n Shanghai Abu Dhabi You can learn more about their recruitment fairs here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0see what Explore CRS<\/a> can offer you in your education or recruitment pursuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are job-searching this school year, then going to a recruitment fair is definitely on your mind.
