Now Recruiting for January / September 2013!

 

 

I am definitely spoiled by the small class sizes, relaxed student rules, diligent student body, and incredible parent involvement not to mention the fabulous (never boring) city of Berlin.  The trains are so great, I hope I never have to drive again. 

I earn nearly 1/3 more here than I do in the States, am able to travel everywhere in Europe, and still  put lots of money in savings. I can't imagine teaching the way I was in the States. 

All of Pam's advice was right. I feel like I finally started living!

... So,  you  would like a  tax-free salary, free housing,  utilities, insurance, paid relocation, travel options, retirement, free round trip air tickets, annual home leave, end of service bonus, etc. etc.

And you are searching for free "help wanted" ads?

  HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

Yes, there are thousands of excellent openings all over the world but please do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time searching the Internet for "free" ads. Nobody is offering good contracts by email. To land a job, you have to apply!

Procrastination is the #1 killer mistake!

Currently, we publish daily vacancies for the remaining jobs for the September start. However, it is best to allow yourself a full year for preparation. Most international recruitment is done in winter!

You must research the market, submit your application files, apply and interview.  After you are hired, you still need time for visas and relocation. Due to increased security the visa processing is longer than it used to be. So the best timeline is as follows:

1. Fall - research the market and prepare your application materials;
2. Fall/ Winter - apply, get shortlisted;
3. Winter/ Spring - interviews, contracts;
4.  Summer - relocate.

Many new candidates don't know the difference between CIS, DODEA, ISS, American and British private schools and independent international schools, language academies and overseas public school systems, tax-free status and tax deductible overseas income, recruiting services, international CVs, reversed school calendars, international recruiting fairs and visa requirements ─ all that defines the international teaching market. 

And as long as your current job gives you professional and financial satisfaction you couldn't care less.

Until, one day, you decide to give it a break and go overseas to look for greener pastures. (Your buying power goes up when your expenses go down. Especially when there is no income tax and your housing and flights are paid for!)

Suddenly, the choices and questions become maddening! Should you spend $1,000 (or $2,000 or $5,000) on a trip to Europe to look for work? Will your current teaching credential be valid? Do you need to take ESL classes or learn a foreign language? 

Should you spend $800—$1,600 on a 2-3 day seminar offered by some companies? How to approach the prospective employers? When? Where to find them? Are there any special requirements? What salary/benefits package should you expect? How do you know if it is a reliable school? How about application forms? How do you access the current vacancies?

The more you research all the different options, the more confusing the decision gets. 

It's enough to make a person grow hair on the bottom of their feet! What the heck is an “overseas recruiting fair,” and where are they? How else can I apply for a job? What are my chances? How about my husband (wife)?

Heck, can't you just send an application form and hope that a job offer will come in the mail?

As a teacher in the international school community, I find your service invaluable, and it has provided numerous job offers for me. Keep up the good work!

—I.Styles

 

 

Incredible but true: some people still approach the overseas job search as if it were their local school district.

For example, many teachers start their job search by requesting application forms! Others wait until the end of summer to apply. Still others hope to Google in on a miraculous online database that will show them every vacancy - from Mexico to Singapore...

As a result of these misguided efforts lots of potentially good candidates are grounded before they even get the recruitment process going!

Meanwhile, the JOYJOBS members report multiple job offers! What is the secret?   The answer is surprisingly simple: If you want to be successful, find someone who achieved the results you want and copy what they do, and you'll achieve the same results!

In other words, “Don’t get eaten alive because a competitor has all the information and tools and you don't!”

Your website was of tremendous help. I was offered a number of posts during first interviews on Friday and I accepted the one I had set my heart on right from the beginning (it helped that the school had actually extended an invitation to an interview, rather than my having to request an interview. Everything has just clicked into place.  —Melodee Peters

Landing an international teaching jobs usually involves personal interviews. You have to compete against well-informed and prepared candidates. It is essential that you have the same tools and information!

Unfortunately, some people skip the research stage and go directly to fairs/interviews — only to lose to one of our candidates. 

Your personal web-résumé. Schools hate email attachments. Your CV / résumé must be online. And we do not mean your Facebook. Click here to see how it works. You will also need the following:

Recruitment fairs, schedules and locations USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Dubai, and other countries.

Warnings and alerts (there are some schools you will want to avoid!)

Your program is a wonderful resource! I went to the UNI job fair, secured 9 interviews, cancelled the last 3 and got 6 job offers!

I will be spending the next 2 years teaching for the American School in Guadalajara! I found your program to be very thorough and your school directory was invaluable!

I will keep reading all of the updates and job postings (for curiosity's sake). Thanks for all!

Who dares, wins!

Why do overseas schools love our candidates?

Because they are p-r-e-p-a-r-e-d.  They know how the system works. Recruiters do not need to waste time on explaining the basics.

Do not turn off the schools by improper resumes and naive questions. To be in a strong negotiating position you must know the overseas specifics.

To win a good contract, you must look and act like an experienced international educator. You need this insider information if you hope to stand a chance: despite the sluggish economy in some parts of the world, many countries continue to develop rapidly. As a whole, the international teaching market remains very competitive!

What a wonderful program – truly top notch!

I just received my second job offer by e-mail. These are real offers! And I still have a month to go before my first recruiting fair, where I already have been able to prearrange interviews with several schools.
You really know how to do it right, and you really know how to teach others to do it too!

Please feel free to share my comments as well as my joyjobs inspired CV and portfolio on your site. For my part, I will do all that I can to let people know what a great job you folks do!
Thanks so much!

Dwight Mott

 

Dear Pam and Igor, I followed your directions to the letter, and I was a smashing success at the UNI Fair. Because I was so well prepared, I was very relaxed after the first interview. 

I turned down several jobs and accepted the one that has been my first choice all along.  I will be forever grateful to you... Many thanks. 

—Noreen

Whether you're thinking of making teaching overseas your professional career or you just want some relief from your current job for a year or two, this is the resource for you!

So, how does one find a good job abroad?

Amazingly, a lot new candidates make no effort to learn the new job market. No wonder the rejection level among them is so high, even when there are many available positions.

It would be dumb not to use this situation to your advantage: the vast majority of applicants still use the cowboy approach and are no competition to an informed candidate.

—So, how do I begin?

In just a couple of weeks of searching my wife and I have found the ideal teaching positions for next year.

The abundance of jobs posted on JoyJobs.com on a daily basis makes it easy to find a job even for hard to place teachers such as myself (Drama).

The only thing I would say to anyone thinking about signing up for JoyJobs.com is... if you are not using JoyJobs.com, then you aren’t seriously looking for employment.

Sincerely,

Mark and Cindy Webber
