Vacancy follow up? Opinions needed
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2017 4:50 pm
Can a newbie here get your expert opinions?
I applied for a high school math position in Vietnam through Schrole. It's a school and country at the top of my wish list. No response from the school yet and the closing deadline on the posting has been extended several times since I applied. I have no IT experience, master’s degree, 15 years of math teaching in the US (AP not IB), a non-teaching trailing spouse + 2 school aged kids. I realize I’m a risky and expensive hire.
Here’s my question…should I email the principal directly outside of Schrole and offer to pay for airfare for my dependents? I don’t want to appear desperate. But I do want to show that I’m eager and flexible and possibly get a second glance to my resume. Is this too forward and possibly annoying, especially so early in the hiring season?
Thoughts?
