Hey Everyone!

I got a job!
I came here 1 week ago to let you know I was a bit desperate but I got an interview 3 days ago and I got accepted!
1) I need your help though: do you know Kreuzlingen-Konstanz international school?

2) do you know the cost of living in Switzerland?

Thanks in advance!

I apply mostly to IB international schools. I am a French native speaker so may be I can be more lucky?
Thanks for your infos!

What school types are you applying too?

My warning alarm went off when you said french teacher. French and many other foreign languages are very "niche". Most ISs would want a native not just a fluent teacher. even then only a handful of positions come up each year.

If you really want to expand your options you may try a Offshore/Overseas French Lycee school. The list is maintained by the AEFE, in the Foreign Affairs Ministry. You can find the list here:

Thank you to all of you! I feel better, I will follow your advices. If something comes up, I will let you know.
All the best to each one of you. :D

Hello everyone,
I am starting to feel a bit desperate and I am looking for advice.
I still have no job. I am registered with Search but I didn't go to a job fair ( no will,no money). I am also with Tie on line.
My background: French teacher, native speaker, 8 years experience, IB experience, single, no dependents.
I applied to approximately 70 schools this year. No success. I don't know what I could do differently. Shall I make spontaneous applications?! I don't know if it's a good idea. So, I reply to the Search offers and TieonLine but there are less and less offers coming up.
For me, registering with Search was a waste of time and money as I didn't go to a fair anyway and I found that TieonLine has the same ffers more or less.
I guess everytime I apply to an offer, they receive tons of applications and I don't stand out. And from what I saw this year with my former colleagues, knowing people within the school, really helped them to get the job.
Any idea, advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
here is the deal.I signed a two year contract for India for next August.I am a teacher, my partner is not.So, i am gonna go by myself and he will come as often as possible and i will go back to France as well for the holidays.

Anyway, the idea of being apart is of course, difficult to figure out.
We have a strong bond and want to end up together.We have been together for 2 years and have plans together for the future.

So, my question is: does anyone here had to face this situation and how did you handle it?

Thanks a lot if anyone can share some experiences with me.

[quote="guest9"]I am wondering if the above poster even read my post. As I said, their job openings can be ascertained anywhere. It is their resume service and web site help that was well worth the $40.00. Igor is more than willing to make changes to anything when he is asked, and my offer to pay him more money is always graciously declined. What the heck do you expect for $40.00 anyway?

As a "newbie" two years ago, his information and service were very beneficial to me, and now as a "veteran" joyjobs is still a good investment.
What's wrong with being a "newbie" anyway? Didn't we all have to start somewhere once upon a time? Lighten up, Dude.[/quote]

I just totally agree with this.It's a great help and they are very efficient when you start and don't know the market and how to '' sell'' yourself and the mistakes you should avoid.Moreover, they are always willing to help, give real good advices from their own experience and are positive, which can only be good compared to what i read most of the time.I highly recommand them when you are new on the market.
