That's what I was thinking. I can afford to go to the fair but I'm a little bit afraid of going and coming back empty handed though. I'll think about it and let you know. Please post more opinions =)

Thanks

Hi everyone.

I'm kind of new to this world of international teaching so I'm going to post my situation and hope that you can help me with some things.

I'm a newly qualified physical education teacher from Portugal that has came out of college last year. Although I just finished I have a year of intern position at a secondary school (part of the master course) and 5/6 years of experience in basketball coaching. Also this year I took a part time job as a physical education teacher at an international school in my country and I'm a personal trainer at a local gym.

I was looking to get a job abroad with my girlfriend who is also a PE teacher with practically the same resume as me. We registered with SA and we were told to go to the Cambridge fair because it was the one were most schools would hire people with little or no experience (intern). We are having a very good experience with them so far.

One of the things that scare us the most is going there and we don't get a job were we can be together at the same school. What do you think? Should we go? Do we have a good chance of getting a full job? And if we don't do we have a good chance of having an intern position at the same school?

Thanks in advance
