Psyguy can you give more info on the coupon resume? Was the coupon on one side and the resume on another? The quirkiness in me loves this.

Wow, so I can just cut to the front of the line, just like that? First timer attending UNI fair here. Psyguy and ichiro, great advice. I will definitely think of using one of those resume strategies.

Colegia Nueva Granada or Colegio Karl C. Parrish

Hello all,
I am thinking about teaching in Colombia. I'm considering these schools. Can anyone who has taught in Colombia provide some insight, specifically if you worked at these schools? Savings potential for a single person? Apparently these are two of the higher paying South American schools.

PsyGuy,
If they are interested in hiring you, when will they offer the contract if not at the end of the interview? Will they call the number you provide, email during the fair?

Single Woman in Indonesia?

Hello,
I have been contacted by a school in Jakarta, Indonesia for an interview. I honestly hadn't even considered Indonesia as one of my top places to go. What is life like for the single woman in Jakarta?

Job Fair Interviews and Buzz Words

Hello,
I am a newbie and will be attending a recruiting fair next month. I know that it is important to be able to talk the talk when interviewing with international schools. What are some of the buzz words that veterans or prior fair attendees have been asked about? I want to make sure that I am on the right track. Oh by the way, I'm a Primary Teacher.

Just a thought: Do you suggest...

Mentioning a teacher blog on your resume or cover letter? For instance if used in a CL it would be introduced like, "I enjoy sharing my passion for teaching and resources with others and have a blog at _______blogspot.com, " (not the exact words I would use). Or do you think it is a waste of time? This blog is strictly for sharing my teaching resources, classroom photos, and successes of teaching.

Question...

I will be new to international teaching next year (hopefully) and am one of those who does not want to ask their supervisor for a letter. So you're saying that recruiters will accept a recommendation letter from a parent?
