After much deliberation we have decided not to do the job fair thing this time around, partially because we are not 100% sure we want to leave our current post. We have our info. on TIE, Search and ISS and we have sent letters to our schools of interest. Does anyone have experience with job searching around the fairs? Will directors contacts us after the fairs are over or anytime? Any recommendations?
Anything you can offer is appreciated! Cheers!

I've heard good things about the new video interviews. I haven't tried it myself, but it seems like a good alternative to expensive hiring fairs or impersonal paper CVs.

Yes, even well-paid schools will offer contracts after the fairs are over because someone inevitably leaves or someone balks on signing a contract a month after the fair. But most of the jobs will be gone at the higher paying places and it might be hard to find a good fit for both of you. QSI is always looking for teaching couples. I recommend staying in touch with the administrators.
