Why not share your knowledge? Asking for people to pm questions makes the forum redundant.. the forum is for the exchange of knowledge.

Because i have no knowledge. I am not a teacher. My friends are. Thus paul can send me his email address or something and i will ask my friends if they can help him and if they feel like it they can get in touch.

Is that alright?

I have been researching now for about 6 weeks. I have spent sometime completing a good CV and covering letter, and made a shortlist of secondary schools. I did contact about 6 schools directly, and the heads got back to me which was great and said wait until January until the jobs are advertised on the TES and their websites etc.

There is also an agency, called that I spoke to the other day and were very helpful, a couple of friends got jobs through them!

Would be good to get in touch as we are at the same stage!!!

Well I have just found out that I cant private message until I have posted 5 times on the forum. So if you still read this contact me on here. I am also from Liverpool and as you said it would be good to get in touch to help each other out seeing as we are at the same stage.

Sorry Southak I cant pm you but any help you or your friends can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting back in touch! Ive actually had a telephone interview for one school and an actual interview for another since I posted, although don't find out until next week. It's been all stations go. Does all seem a bit daunting mind but I think that's beacuse it is becoming a little more real. I don't know whether to extend my search to Abu Dhabi and Qatar.

Hows your search going?

Hi Danielle,

Wow congratulations, that's fantastic and I'll have my fingers crossed for you!

I'm still currently searching and finding out which schools to contact. Going to spend this week finalising a cover letter and CV and then send some out. Where did u see the jobs advertised that you were interviewed for?

There are loads of companies claiming to help you find jobs, do you know which ones are better?

There are so many questions flying around my head (what happens to my pension, do I pay for a visa etc) its crazy haha

Thanks, I have my fingers crossed too! I've probably got a fair few answers to your questions but not sure how much info about particular schools I can divulge on here. Can you pm message me? Can always send you my cover letter to have a look at too.

I did name a couple of places on here last time and they got moderated out. :-)

I have PM messaged you however I have a feeling that you have to have posted 5 times to reply to it. I included my email address in the message of thats easier. Anything you can help me with ill appreciate, I am getting a bit snowed under!

Thanks

I am currently looking for teaching jobs in September and I'm just wondering how people who were looking December have got on? In terms of good salaries is 10,000 aed enough to live on? Thanks
