Search and ISS
After researching and reading this blog I registered with Search which, I think, represents a lot more schools than ISS. But, was just wondering if there are any good schools not represented by Search that I should maybe shoot a resume to?
Would love to hear from the experienced people out there.
Thanks.

Search has a great database for teaching candidates. TIEonline has a good database, but not the information that Search has. What TIEonline offers is jobs from schools that might not be Search schools, but which are still ok (and some not so ok LOL).
I used Search (currently I am inactive with them), TIEonline (still a member) and InternationalSchoolsReview (still a member) to find schools/jobs and infor about them.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, Shadowjack. I just signed up with TIE online. I figured it couldn't hurt. I don't like it as much as Search...the print is small and the site is hard to follow but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
As I've said before I'm just gathering as much information as I can and waiting for the job fair in Cambridge in January.
It's so funny how when people find out I'm doing this they all have their opinions of where I should go...they don't understand that I can't just 'go'...I have to get an offer to teach! lol

Hello Shadow,
Last year I joined everything. This year only SEARCH since I received the most positive feed back from them. I later joined Tie again when they had the sale. Now just browsing through ISS and I notice there are a few schools not advertised on SEARCH. I am wondering if I should join just to make sure I cover all bases. Also their fairs are gratis :lol: That is always a good thing. Just wondering.

I firmly believe in search for the database. But do not see any sense in joining both unless you are going to the fairs. To me that is what I am getting out of my money. I joined ISS because I was already going to be in Bangkok early for the fair, and several of the schools I want to talk to will be at both. The ISS fair has A LOT less candidates and thus it gives me a better chance of getting interviews and presenting myself outside of the hustle and bustle of the search fair.
Just my perspective.
