S2, E38 - Jacqueline P Mallais M.Ed., M.A., originally from Ottawa, joins us from beautiful Guadalajara, Mexico. Greg learns he needs a cover letter and Kent learns we aren't as special as we think we are. Jacqueline offers an excellent resource for those of us who aren't quite sure what is needed on a CV (resumé) or cover letter for International Teaching Recruitment. To quote Jacqueline: "I've applied for lots of jobs I haven't gotten interviews for, but there are very few jobs I've interviewed for that I haven't gotten."

S2, E36 - The three of us discuss how we, as seasoned teachers in an international school, help new staff navigate their first few weeks. Being the new teacher at an international school overseas is not easy. It's not necessarily the teaching. It's everything else that you have to get through in a foreign country.
It's also the beginning of recruiting season. If you are planning on recruiting for the 23-24 school year, now is the time to start looking. Get some great tips from this discussion. Start with some online research. Sign up for some key recruiting tools. Choose an International Teacher Job Fair like Search Associates, AASSA, UNI, or ISS. If nothing else, the social antics of this episode will entertain you! The International Teacher Podcast is simply three teachers who have been teaching and living overseas. We love to share advice and stories about the best kept secret in education: Overseas Teaching.
