Politely saying no to schools that contact you?

I am wondering if anyone has suggestions about schools that contact you in which you have no interest? I am flattered, of course, but I am positive these are schools in which I have no interest. Anyone have suggestions for polite and gracious ways to tell them no?

Re: International School Interviews

So glad I asked! So during the interview focus only on teaching/education and later I will have a chance to ask about salary, housing, and living in the host country?

International School Interviews

Can anyone tell me what to expect during an interview in person or on Skype? I am assuming there will be a part where I answer lots of questions about my philosophy of teaching, past experiences, etc. And I will have a list of questions ready to ask about the school's philosophy and inner workings. But how does 'the package' come up? And should I ask questions about the package or is this interpreted as rude? In normal interviews, you never ask about benefits until you are offered the job. So how do people address this? Thanks!

Response Time?

Hi Everyone - This is my first time using Search and applying to international schools. The process is quite intense! I just wondered what the response time is for an interested response (if any interest exists!) I have received various various "We've received your application." emails. Now I am wondering how long or when schools begin to reach out to candidates. Thanks!
