What counts as a dependent?
Do only children qualify as dependents, or also non-teaching spouses? I have a husband and a child-- is it right that my info sheet for a fair says "two dependents"?

Re: What is your recruitment scorecard for 2017/18?
10 applications or letters of interest (in schools whose vacancies weren't advertised), one rejection, and one had already been filled. Offered an interview by a school I didn't apply to, declined due to region.
This is my first go at IT. I'm a soon-to-be-minted school counselor (I'll get my MA and my certification in May, but I have no non-internship experience). I know I will probably only have a chance in Asia or the ME (and lucky if I did at that, with no experience), but my husband's job (non-teaching related) will have us in Europe for the next couple years, so I'm trying to get something in W or E Europe (his work is flexible enough that he could live with me anywhere there, though he'd be making frequent trips). Living on one salary will be tough, and I don't want my degree to just collect dust for the next two years, so I'm really hoping for some luck.
I'm going to UNI in February. I live very close by, so it wasn't expensive to attend. There are only a few European schools there, but I figure I might as well try, and at very least meet some people/network and see what a fair is like. One school that will be there responded to my letter of interest, saying that while they don't have any counseling positions for next year, he'd be happy to interview with me in case of future openings.
From what I've read going through this forum (I've been lurking for months), if I do get something, it will most likely be a lucky job in the spring or summer (when, from what I've learned, schools are more desperate/willing to take someone inexperienced). This would either be because I've sent them my resume in this first go around, or they post it to their website and I'm quick on the trigger (I have all my bookmarks ready to go and I check everyday). I think.
Anyway, this forum has been so helpful. I'm so excited about the prospect of counseling internationally, even if I have to wait a couple years to get going. If anyone has any advice or insight into my situation, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
