Thanks for this, it helps.

There are many different ways of getting a job internationally, and there are schools looking to recruit teachers throughout the year. ISS seems to get a bad rap on this BB so being blackballed by them isn't the end of the world by any means.

There isn't any kind of universal/international register of people who've been blackballed, so you should be able to register with COIS or SEARCH without a problem. Nobody asks who you've recruited through before.

TIE seems to have a pretty comprehesive list of schools recruiting and you could also look at www.tesjobs.co.uk for a list of job adverts. The COIS website www.cois.org also has a list of vacancies.

Finally you could write to schools directly. The COIS website has a directory of schools in countries around the world.

Darren Arbour is Primary Head of the International School of Ulaanbaatar.

Has anyone worked with him and/or does anyone know anything of his background/experience?
