Re: Bangkok Questions
BKK might even be closed at this point. Check before you get your hopes up.

Re: Using only Search Associates?
I find the access to the database with job opening more valuable than anything else.

Re: Banking
Definitely make sure you have a bank you can access over the Internet . It would also help to have a credit card from the same bank. You can keep track of everything together. I personally use Chase. I also opened a British Airways card through them. It's US based, and they don't charge me currency transaction fees if I use the card anywhere. I also collect avios which are useful for getting flight upgrades on those long flights back.

Re: Applying to British Curriculum w/ US background
@ SJ
My draw is just not wanting to discount a whole group of schools that could potentially hire us. It seems at least half the schools out there are BC. Doesn't that decrease our chances if we completely ignore them and not even apply? Or should I not even bother and stick to US curriculum schools?
@Traveller
You paint a grim picture, which makes me rethink this whole thing. I will definitely chat with some of my colleagues here who've done it.
Thanks for the tips!!

Applying to British Curriculum w/ US background
In our next recruiting cycle, we want to be able to apply to British curriculum schools, but we lack the experience. We both have QTS status...but how do we appeal to a British school, when our credentials and experience are all US based? What can we point out to show we'd be qualified for the position? We don't want to ignore a whole group of schools that could be a good fit for us.

What would you consider skills to put on there? Technology? Workshops? Specific teaching such as Reading and Writing Workshop?

Re: What did/do you do with your mail?
It goes to my mother. We Skype and go through the crap to throw away. She scans pics of important stuff, and anything that needs keeping, she gives me over the summer. It helps to have a US address on file too that isn't a PO box. I pay all my bills online except those companies that live in the dark ages...

Not-for Profit Schools in SE Asia
Besides SAS, ISKL, and ISB, what are some other not for profit schools in the region? I want my next post to be away from the profit driven schools.
