Sounds like you have started off well! I used to teach in Alberta too, up in the Peace country, when I first started out.
Just looking at the schedule - WOW! They pack the fair events into a shorter time period than in Bangkok! The first day in Bangkok was registration, indications of interest via slips in school folders, and presentations. The sign up for interviews was on the second day of the fair.
This is all packed into ONE day for the London Fair! Whew! I think, looking at this, I am glad I went to Bangkok instead of London...
It is still the same number of days, but one more day is allocated to official interviews.
I suspect that London sees more hiring done than Bangkok, given a look at this schedule.
Anyways, Pippa, GREAT posting - keep it up and good luck on your job hunt!

Thanks for your posts, Pippa.
I secured my position without attending a fair, but the thought of attending one so had me a bit scared....having read so many posts on the uber competitiveness, the "meat-market" environment, etc., etc,
To read your words and those of Shadowjack, I think I have a more realistic view of what to expect and should I attend one in the future I will go with confidence and your posts in notebook.
Thanks for taking the time to write and share.
Hoping we get similar postings from all the fairs...would be nice to look at similaities and differences. Anyone up for sharing Toronto? Cambridge? San Francisco?
