I was wondering this too. Also, how many of you experience international teachers belong to more than one placement agency? Does this help and do you recommend this?
I belong to both Search and ISS. In my experience neither really do anything to actually help you get a job. The big difference seems to be that ISS takes the money as you come in the door and Search takes as you leave with a job. Either way it's the same.
I have registered for both conferences in the past and used the second as a back up just in case I didn't find a job at the first. It's a bit of money but better than flying back to Pakistan without a job. Yes, flying back to the States from out of the country to find a new job is very expensive.
For the school director it's a paid holiday. For us cattle it's a an expensive affair.
Hi Sarah
I use Search Associates and it is very good. However, all depends who you are registered with.
I suggest you to do it with Harry Deelman.
Although he organizes London February fair, he might help you if you want to attend any other.
Good luck!
