| Find out why you haven't been able to secure an overseas job. Yet!What is the difference between a regular job hunt and an international one?

What are my chances? Seriously, everyone has a chance if they begin to look. Most schools look for diversity so every personal situation has a potential to succeed. The real secrets is to be flexible!

The two popular methods are: contact employers directly and respond to ads. If you look for work at an established international school you should never wait for a relevant ad to appear. Here's why. Because these schools are all listed in our Overseas Schools Directory (including names, email addresses, phone numbers, curriculum info, special ed. programs, facilities, enrollment, etc, etc.) most of these schools do not post job ads any more and looking for these posts is a big waste of time. We will show you how to use our information to establish a relationship with the school. It is essential if you want a good contract as the best jobs are NEVER advertised. TIP. Do not ruin your chances by starting your letter (email, fax) with "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" Always use personal names and proper salutations from the Directory. Responding to job ads. Yes, we publish vacancies daily. See some examples. Responding to posts is the way to go when you are pressed for time and need to land a job quickly. We also maintain LARGE amounts of archived vacancies, dating back to 2000. This is because jobs postings can be used very effectively for generating hot leads. This is particularly true for administrative jobs, librarians, school psychologists and other schools specialists but most of all -- ESL jobs. Almost every European country has several thousand of commercial ESL schools. They rely on advertising, both online and offline. The other employers are Christian schools, US military schools (US bases overseas), US government agencies (e.g. USIA), foreign government programs (JET- Japan); international organizations (such as United Nations, UNISEF, Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe) and many other private funds and programs. Read the Chapter KNOW THY EMPLOYER before your even begin your search. You need to know the market to determine your best options. Ignorance is costly. Information is power: What is the biggest mistake? You must start as soon as possible, even though you do not plan to go overseas immediately. Start with exploring the Overseas Schools Directory. All reputable schools are listed. Not just names and addresses but comprehensive descriptions, curricular, country fact sheets, staff specialists, class sizes, enrollment, accreditation, etc. What about the other resources, books, for example. Why your program is so different? We believe that in the world of automation a personal approach will become more and more effective. So we read and answer every email - using the keyboard, not an auto responder. The webpages that we build for our customers (online resumes) are made by hand and so on. |
