Question Job Fair
For most prospective international teachers, the overseas job fair is a necessary, though often daunting, rite of passage. Such job fairs provide important opportunities for principals from overseas schools to interview teachers face-to-face, but some candidates feel overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere characteristic of such fairs. A few simple strategies can help teachers walk into any international job fair with confidence.
Target your geographical region
Since your first hour at a job fair could include interviews with principals from countries as far-flung as Venezuela, Thailand, or South Africa, it’s helpful to have a geographic area in mind before you attend a job fair. Some teachers know right away that they want to live in a Spanish-speaking country, while others prefer the particularly high salaries in parts of Asia or the Middle East. The BootsNAll Travel Network online contains valuable stories from expatriates and travelers abroad to help guide you in your search.
