What People Say
"I had 13 schools request interviews with me - I had to turn some interviews down simply because of time limitations. I ended up choosing the computer job in Mali — a great rare opportunity to design a computer lab the way I want to - in a school of 80 students! The JoyJobs website for my resume proved to be a great resource for prospective schools. I have recommended the JoyJobs CD to others looking for an overseas teaching job. Thanks so much. A real find! —Melissa Enderle PS. I also would want to add that when I had the terrible debate between the three schools, I found the CD an immense help - referring to the CD for info about the country (Mali) and about the school. When time was so precious and resources limited, the CD filled in." |
"I have recently been offered a job at an international school in Switzerland.
Applying all the way from New Zealand, I really didn't think I would have much of a chance and I think I can thank your information for giving the confidence that I could apply for jobs in an acceptable way - if that makes sense - that would give me a shot. I found your hints for writing application emails to be particularly helpful." —NN |
