My wife and I are at an international school. I will have two years full time experience at the end of this academic year, my wife will have one (she's on maternity leave this year). We're thinking of moving on and have had a lot of two way contact with a particular school, which we would be quite happy at. However, I'm wondering if we could do better.
I'm thinking of signing up with Search Associates. I almost certainly won't be attending a fair, but I would quite like access to the database and the ability to apply for jobs online. I'm assuming my wife can't join, because she doesn't have two years experience.
Do you think it's worth me signing up with them? How do I get my wife into the equation? The school we''ll probably end up at, if nothing else comes up, doesn't sign contract until April, so we have a fairly long period to look for other options.
Signing Up for Search
Depends where you're from
If you sign up through the British branch of Search you don't have to pay anything unless you go to a Fair.
I figured out that little loop hole a few years back. Of course it wasn't easy convincing them to let me sign up through the British branch since I'm not actually British but I can be quite convincing when I want to :-)
And I don't feel bad. I got my last job through Search and I'll most likely get my new one through them too so they get money when a school chooses me.
(Please note there is no dishonesty here - I didn't lie, they know I'm not British, I just managed to convince them to let me register through the British associate).

Joining Search free if you are British and/or living there..
Good Morning,
This is a question for lennoc or anyone else who might know the answer...
I really want to join Search but am put off by the fee. I am Irish and live in the UK but have found NO information about this 'loop' of free joining.
Could anyone fill me in? So I can find out how and by when I can join?
Thank you,
Sk
