Re: 30 applications, 0 interviews

Update:

We did end up having interviews with 3 schools with another scheduled. I ended up taking a position from a great school in Brazil. We are super excited.

Re: When did you get hired?

First post: October Skype interview

Second post: December 16 this year, after several Skype interviews


Have you had anyone look at your resume? PM me if you want another set of eyes on it...

There are still jobs being posted every day. I wouldn't worry yet, Are you going to go to a fair?

Dulwich College Shanghai

I am very interested in this school. The reviews on the paid side look pretty rough. I was offered a job and I have a few days to decide. Can anyone shed some light on the recent working environment, life in Shanghai and anything else you may find relevant. Thanks so much for the replies, I could really use the advice.

Re: 30 Applications, 0 interviews

I am registered with Search. My partner is and elementary teacher and I have experience in middle school and elementary, but i am looking for a middle school English job, certainly not in demand. I am the director of the school's Model UN, but other than that there is nothing much that sets us apart on paper.

Re: 30 Applications, 0 interviews

I am only applying fairly reputable schools. We both have k-12 teaching credentials from the state of California and five years of experience teaching at public schools in the state. I am registered for the Bangkok fair, but as it is quite competitive I am hoping to secure some early interviews. Thanks for the help.

30 Applications, 0 interviews

So, I have been applying to schools with posted positions that I qualify for. Both my teaching partner, and myself, have bachelors and Masters degrees from really good schools in the US. We have 7 years of teach experience each, he has 4 internationally (two with the peace corps), and I have two. I am starting to become concerned that we aren't being offered any interviews. Are schools collecting applications for months before they begin interviewing? Is it still too early? Any advice would be very helpful for my sanity.
