Sabis

Avoid sabis is at all costs

The middle east is a place generally to avoid, as the turnover is extremely high and schools are generally poorly run.

The world of international education is full of horror stories and most of them come from this region.

Just watch the job vacancies each year and watch the recruitment companies try and shift them.

Tattoos

As an administrator I would advise against tattoos and visible piercings in the conservative world of education, schools and classrooms. Recruitment companies would advise against against this also. It is very important to remember that international education is private and has accordingly such standards. Most people with tattoos in the profession have the common sense to have them in discrete places and that they are not seen. I currently have several staff with tattoos, but they are never on display. Personal opinions must be weighed with professionalism, standards and a business like image. As a benchmark guide, consider what is acceptable in an office, where people wear suits. Like it or not, unfortunately everything is image. Personally, I don't have any tattoos, but I don't have a problem with them either.
