ISS or Search

A bit about me:

In my 4th year in the States teaching social studies, including some AP classes. Will have my MA in history as well by next school year. Looking to move back to Asia or possibly the Middle East. I would only be able to do 1 job fair and would spend most of my time applying online. As for job fairs if Search it would have to be Cambridge and if ISS Atlanta.

My big question is which should I use to apply to schools?

Thanks in advance.

SA, the BOS fair is better than Atlanta.

Agree with PsyGuy - Bos way better than Atlanta, especially for Asia or ME.

That said, get your Search membership active by late August to take advantage of all the early jobs that pop up, last for a week or two, and are gone. There are quite a few - and some good schools use them to pick off experienced educators who want to be done with recruiting early.

Good luck!
