International Educators Employment Resources

Job Fairs
At a fair you have the opportunity to meet and be interviewed by several heads of international schools at one convenient location. The cost and size of fairs varies greatly, however, there are two different types of recruitment fair.

Selective events, set up by an agency - which you only attend if invited. You will only be invited if your qualifications, experience and references are suitable.
Non-selective events, where attendance is open to all teachers and schools who wish to register.
Statistically speaking, you are more likely to find an appointment at a selective, agency-run fair. However, you will need to register with the agency well in advance to be considered.
