Job Fair - Bethesda

What type of schools are represented at the Job Fair in Bethesda in June? Since majority of the hiring is occurring now, it makes me seriously apprehensive about the jobs unfilled and the schools at the fair. If I am unable to secure a job by contacting schools directly, will the fair be worth my time or will I highly disappointed with the "leftovers" at the fair? We are a teaching couple (both want to teach PE, but certified in other fields) and we have dependents.

teaching couple - same subject

My husband and I are very interested in teaching internationally. However, we both teach the same subject, health and physical education. We are both certified pre k-12th. Before I spend an exuberant amount of money applying the Search and other recruiting agencies, what do you think our possibilities are of both landing a job at the same school? For example, one of us in elementary and the other high school. Is there typically job openings in our field?

Thanks for the information regarding dependents. After reading many many posts, I realize this will be a difficult road, but well worth the challenge in the end ( I hope). I was already considering the UNI fair and the fair in Atlanta in Dec. Any others suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

new to this....want to teach PE

My husband and I are a teaching couple..... we both health and physical education - certified pre kindergarten - 12th grade (US). My question is: how difficult will it be for us to find teaching jobs since we are in the same field and only a few slots for PE teachers at each school?

Thank You do the information!! My next move should be to register for Search or another type of "recruiter". Do you have any suggestions considering my situation of married teaching couple with 4 dependents??? Is one better than another?

Teaching Couple BUT have 4 dependents

My husband and I are both veteran teachers and are extremely interested in teaching internationally, but we have 4 school age children. Is there ANY chance of us getting hired? IF so, which schools or areas should we focus on? I'm not a big fan of Africa and a little hesitant about the Middle East. Any information would be awesome.
