There are plenty of jobs out there. My first fair I went to the last ISS Fair- as a single and not hard to fill post. I was told by several principals that I was the only one there with my specific resume. I met with 6 schools and got 5 job offers- my first posting overseas. I know plenty of really good people who walked away from fairs as they didn't like the offers there and got calls a week or two later for their dream jobs. There are plenty of good jobs out there.

I went through the ISS fair when I first went overseas. I found ISS to be very enjoyable, well organized and I got several job offers and I was very happy. The fairs are stressful, but if you know that going in and are prepared to network and can look out for yourself- you will do fine. I found some of the complaints were from people who thought the people at the fairs found jobs for you. They are there to help, but they really are there to bring everyone together; the rest is up to you. The next several jobs came from contacts we had made while overseas. I would say if you only want to work and live in one place, go there and find the job- but if you are open and flexible ( which you need to be to work overseas ) go to a fair with the right attitude. Talk to everyone, ask all kinds of questions, and seek out the right people and enjoy the experience as much as you can.

I was at CAS for two years and found it a very pleasant place. The salary is not specatular- but the living conditions are good and you will save some money. The kids are great- mostly wealthy locals- VERY wealthy. While Casa offers little in culture and excitment- the best thing about Morocco is the ability to travel. Most of the really good places are a train ride away and if you get a car, you can drive to Spain and then all around Europe. Flights are cheap and easy and I travelled around a great deal on my salary. Although I was there a few years ago- the school runs a pretty tight ship and the admin is all new since I've been there. I have recommended it to friends and still would. It's not paradise- but all in all- I had a good experience and enjoyed my time there.

Usually salaries in Western and Southern Africa can seem great with very nice savings potential. However, living a western lifestyle in Africa is VERY expensive. Food and basic suplies can eat in to your savings. Also- you have to fly almost everywhere in and around Africa because of distance or security. Airline tickets are extremely expensive and will curtail your travel and savings.
