Re: How soon to receive contract after accepting at a fair?

Some of the job fairs do state verbal offers are binding, that said, when I accepted an offer at a fair like you did, I signed a paper stating I accepted the position and a contract would be emailed shortly. I received a welcome email from the school administrator almost immediately. I would suggest sending a brief, professional email asking when you can expect the contract. Good luck!

Re: A bird in the hand is worth...?

Absolutely agree with EllieSLP - ask for what you want. Tell dream job you just had an offer but they are your number one choice and see what they say. Better to ask and know and then not and always wonder :) Good luck! What a great position to be in.

Guatemala

Hi All,

I am in conversation with a school in Guatemala - the interview was great, lots of positives. Everything I've read on the reviews here are positive. I am wondering if anyone has lived in Guatemala. Pros? Cons? It's not a place I would have imagined myself living, but I'm also open to trying something new and unexpected. I am 36, single female, so also not sure what dating in Guatemala is like.

Thanks if you have any insight.
