Chances of getting hired as an Intern through Search?
Chances of getting hired as an Intern through Search?
I'm applying as an intern for search associates and I hope to attend the Cambridge fair...I know that it is more competitive to get hired for the teaching positions but how many intern positions are available or is there an intern chosen for each position in the school? It says to be an intern you don't need to have teaching experience so does that mean it is easier to get hired as an intern? how likely are we to get the school of our choice?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that "intern" meant student teacher, and that it generally wasn't a paid position. If that's the case, unless you're in an education program, I wouldn't think you'd get hired.
My former school takes quite a few student teachers, and many have been hired after they've graduated. It's a good way for them to "audition" for the school and local lifestyle, and the school knows who they're hiring.

Search associates have teacher candidates who are full time teachers and they have to have experience..then they have intern candidates who get paid between 1,000-2,000 US$ a month. The intern position are for recent college college graduates.Their internship only lasts 9 months where as teachers are hired for full time and get the full benefits. I just wanted to know what the likelihood of getting hired would be or if they accept all interns due to the fact that they are not full time candidates.
Hi
Well to start where is it you want to teach???
Search accepts all (well most) candidates, but they dont place all candidates. Honestly, most of the "interns" fall into one of two groups. 1) Those doing (as mentioned in the earlier post) a field experience (student teaching, clinical internship, practicum, etc) and 2) those who are hired as interns to fill teaching spots in third tier schools that have a hard time hiring. The number of interns placed is actually pretty small compared to qualified teachers.
The paid internships your talking about are mostly at those third tier schools. Your not going to find many (very few) of the first tier/elite schools that have internship programs. The reason is most international schools are basically private schools, and the parents arent paying tuition to have their child taught by an "intern". Sorry it just doesnt happen that way.
If your hoping for an internship somewhere in Western Europe, or Japan its not likely to happen at all. You would also starve to death on a $1K-$2K a month in those places.
