I know this may be asking a bit much
but it I have been sitting infront of my computer
and trying to apply to one of the Gems schools in Abu Dhabi
only to discover over and over again that their on-line application
website does not function correctly.
For example, after I get past one section, I am unable to
get to the next section because the site will not process
whatever I am trying to fill in.
Arrrrgh!!! I am about to pull all my hair out.
So- I am wondering if anyone here has the direct contact email
of this particular school so I can just email my CV and references or else
I will just have to call the school's office in Abu Dhabi and that will surely be expensive.

Is it GEMS American Academy?

If so Ian Deakin has left now and the new Principal is Dan Keller.

Having been at the Search Associates Bangkok fair I would think that this school and most of the other GEMS schools will be recruiting at the fairs, as most of them will be in London this weekend.

PsyGuy-Thanks but it looks like Ian no longer works there.

Bodisalpha- No it is the Sheikh Zayed Academy and I have googled for hours in vain as I try to find a personal contact email in human resources
at this school to send my information.

I guess this is what I get for not being registered at neither Search or ISS.

In searching the internet for you I found this email address: careers_gaa@gemsedu.com

Hope that is helpful, and good luck!

I believe it's an HR person.

Thanks spruxy and BookshelfAmy- I was finally able to complete my application on GEM's application website after about 2 hours.

What a drag.

BookshelfAmy- I am familiar with that email address you gave me but
I am not sure she works there anymore.

Spuxy- Thanks also for helping out.

In any case- I may try both emails you two gave me as well.
Thanks again.
