Job Fairs and Teaching Team

I am part of teaching couple. We are planning on attending a job fair (or two). How important is it for both of us to be there? Is it all or nothing or is it okay for just one of us to go?

@psyguy

Do you have a list of abbreviations somewhere? I can usually figure them out but what is TLR?

Admin,
Are there plans to reestablish the PM function? If not, then can members add a contact email to their accounts?
Thank you!

Longest Time at One School

Veteran ITs, what is the longest time you stayed at one school? Just curious.

Re: Teacher Attributes

Did the principal give you specific examples of problematic behavior you need to change? How are you defining "warm and fuzzy"?

Re: Elite American school

I checked with ISS and his school is considered an IS, but I agree that it doesn't feel right to claim IS experience. We are in Hawai'i and do have many students from different ethnicities and cultures (even at my public school) but I don't think he will claim IS experience.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Elite American school

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that "elite" isn't a great descriptor. I just want to emphasize that he is at a prestigious school and that might help elevate his status, especially since we have no international experience.

Re: Early job offer

Congratulations on the job offer! I have no IT experience but am curious to see what experienced ITs have to say. We have applied to jobs not in our first choice areas, so we may be in the same situation one day.
