@PsyGuy

Thank you for your keen advise. Doing it now. :)

Thank you very much for your response, Yantantether.

Dear PsyGuy and all..Regarding Schrole:
I've read all the previous threads. Is this what you are saying?...

Good schools don't have openings very often. When they do, they may use Schrole to help weed out all the hundreds of candidates they would have to mine through on a site such as SA or ISS. I haven't looked for an international position since 2013. Three years ago I don't remember Schrole being on my radar at all. Schrole is new to me. I have taught for 14 years; 2 of those was with an IB International World School. I am currently a SA candidate and have been given permission to attend the London Fair. I am curious if you think it would be advantageous for me also to become a premium member of Schrole, based on my experience.

There are no school reviews on ISR about this school. Does anyone have any information?

Thanks for reporting! 6 interviews is a lot! Hang in there. Everything is possible! :)

Big CONGRATS to you, Pippa! Can't wait to learn what your final decision is...keep us posted. We're all very excited for you!

Thank you so much, CDN, for your personal and transparent account of the Fair. I'm sending good vibes and good luck your way. Keep us posted!

[/quote] you should have scanned copies of them just in case, but even being hired at the fair, you will be contacted after by the school HR and they will walk you through the process. You will eventually need most of those, just not at the fair. [quote]

I do already have everything scanned, on my laptop, so thanks! I do NOT, however, have a letter proving my employment from beginning date - ending date. Thank you. I can get that.[/quote]

Which (if any) of these original, official documents do I need to have with me at the upcoming USA fairs?

• University Diploma
• Teaching Certificate
• Passport
• Sealed University Transcript
• Birth Certificate
• Recommendation Letters
• Immunization Record

Thank you!

Thank you Pippafrit! Shadowjack and YOU are helping me immensely prepare for Cambridge! The very best of luck to you! Eagerly awaiting your daily posts...

shadowjack, you have gained the trust of the entire community after your fabulous post on Bangkok. Ok. I won't do it. Got it. End of story.

sid, thanks so much for your opinion. From what I've read, I'm not sure that UNI is the same "fair experience" as SA. My interest in exploring the SA Fair relates more to down the road in a few years, when I'll likely be at it again (possibly...). I totally understand all the reasons you gave. Thank you.

I am a newbie with 12 years of full-time classroom experience in USA at one private, college prep school.

Airfares to Iowa and Boston are purchased. Both hotels are purchased. Rentals cars for both are purchased. UNI and SA/Boston are 1 week apart and UNI is first.

If I am offered a contract at UNI, and I accept, I know....MY WORD IS MY OATH...I get that and fully agree. But, even so, I'd still like to go, the following weekend, to SA/Boston. NOT to interview, but to experience it. To network, to meet and greet.

Agree? Disagree?

Mr. and Mrs. Shadowjack,
Thank you so much for your generous gift of day-by-day recounts of the BKK fair. I am about to brave the waters of the USA fair circuit by attending two upcoming fairs. Your transparent reporting has been a gift to this community of soon-to-be international educators. Thank you.

This is fantastic reporting, Shadowjack! You are helping so many people by doing this recap. Thank you so much! I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and Mrs. Shadowjack. I can't wait for your next post1
