job fairs

My wife and I have been to UNI twice and come away both times with positions despite having three children. We have also been successful at an ISS Bangkok fair and I would have to say they are very similar. I like UNI because it is inexpensive but UNI is in Iowa in early February and we wanted to hit the circuit early so we went to ISS Bangkok in early January. I don't think it is necessarily fair to compare them solely on price because UNI is getting heavily subsidized by the university and I am sure the cost of the arena they use in Cedar Falls doesn't compare to the cost of the Shangri-la Bangkok. We found the staff at each fair equally as helpful and would recommend either fair to anyone looking for a teaching job overseas. In the end what fair you attend depends on where you want to be employed, the odds of a particular job opening being available when the fair you choose rolls around, and the amount you are willing to pay.
