My wife and I interviewed at a school in Germany two weeks ago. We thought it went very well. We were told a decision would be made in 2 days. It was not, but we emailed and were told in ANOTHER 2 days we would know. Nothing. We thought that meant we had not got the positions, but the school called us on Friday to say we would find out "next week".

Is this normal in the IS world? My wife thinks this means the school is "just not that into" us. Thoughts? We have only been at one other international school, and we got this job two years ago at a fair-a very different process.

Thanks again for the replies.

Cdn, did you mean that it seems this specific school has offered lots of people positions at the fair, or that many schools in general have done so?

It wasn't possible for me to attend the fair, and I wonder now how many positions in the IS school circuit open up after the fair. When people tell their current schools they are attending the fair, do their current schools post the positions right away, or would there be openings in schools in the near future as people tell their schools that they have gotten new positions and won't be returning?

Thanks for the information.

Would you expect a school to fill all positions at this fair? If a school indicates that they will be attending two fairs, will they often fill all positions at the first one?

For those of you in London, is Amadeus International School (Austria) at the current London fair?

We aren't at that fair, but we were interested in that school. They indicated in the ad that people should post CVs on TIE, and I wondered if that mean they were considering candidates outside the fair as well (because don't the Search candidates post/share their CVs through Search)?
