The Director of the AISE West campus has a very good reputation from what I hear. That is one of the reasons my wife and I took a job with the school for next year. PM if you want to talk about the interview at all.

It was a very well conducted interview though. Living in Cairo wasn't sugar-coated at all. We are looking forward to the challenges of the city though.

Was made an offer today for my preferred subject area as was my wife. Very pleased to accept the offer at a school we have been keen on for a while. The director and principal have been very quick to answer any questions we've had about the contract, package and school.

We were really not expecting to have any interviews before the Search fair, but in the end had interviews with 4 schools via Skype.

Good luck to everyone who is interviewing at the moment and heading to the fair!

Well, we've had second round interviews at two schools now, with a first interview with a 4th school tomorrow.

One school basically offered us positions, then said we need to wait for 10 days as the current teachers have 'indicated' they are leaving, but haven't reached the date they need to confirm. We were sent contracts however to look at, and the school said we are their first preference candidates.

The second school gave a strong indication that they would make an offer early next week after their selection committee meet and that both the positions we applied for are vacant.

Both schools are excellent and have pros and cons. We would be very happy at either one. How long do people ask the school to wait while they consider an offer? We really weren't expecting to be in a situation where we'd have multiple offers (if that is what comes from this), so hadn't developed a game plan. I should point out that both these schools are in the same city, so location isn't an issue.

My wife and I have had 3 interviews so far via Skype and are scheduled to have second round interviews with two of the schools this week and early next week.

My wife is an elementary teacher and I am a MS/HS History/Social Studies teacher. Not high demand areas, though we have been teaching internationally for 6 years in elementary schools (I've been teaching either G5 or G6 during this time, not secondary). We also both have extensive ESL experience prior to becoming teachers. My wife has been in leadership roles for 4 of her 6 years teaching.

With that background, we have been surprised with having had three interviews before the Search Fair in January. Two of the schools have interviewed me for both middle school social studies and Grade 5 at the same time.

Fingers crossed something comes of the interviews.
