Thanks everyone. No, this is his only nationality so the school would figure it out anyway. I wondered if it would seem strange to not mention it at all and then have them find out.

I suppose I could also just apply on my own since he is a national anyway and wouldn't need a visa if I were to get a job.

Hi all. My husband and I are looking to potentially move to his home country for a number of reasons. There are very few international schools there, but they are considered good schools and there would probably be some competition in getting a job. I have seen some positions open and want to start applying ASAP as this is really the only way I can teach in his country.

My question is- would it be beneficial to somehow mention I am married to a national of that country in my cover letter? I have heard of people mentioning their spouse/kids in their cover letter, but I have never written about it in a cover letter before. I have always applied through recruiting sites that have this information stored, but I will be applying to these schools via email with a cover letter and CV only.

I can see some pros and cons of mentioning it and wanted to get your advice. I can see it potentially being beneficial, but I am also concerned about only being offered a local contract. Should I mention his nationality or not? And if so, any advice on how to do it smoothly?

Thanks
