I am attending the AASSA Job Fair this December....
After reading many posts re: job fairs and the nature of I am unclear as to how the acutal job offer "works" (in general, I know there are no set rules/ formality per se) ...Do the schools offer you the position "on the spot" or do they give you time to think it over...Are many given in the first interview?
I read where some people were offered jobs this way, but passed holding our for a better one....
My concern is that I have two strikes against me....non-teaching spouse and 2yr old child.....And don't want to "loose" any offers even if they're not my #1 picks, in the hopes of better....which may not be offered....
Any insight would be great!
Job Fair Interviews:Do you have to take the job on the spot?

If you are offered a job on the spot, recruiters understand that you probably have other interviews lined up and will give you a day or two to think it over. Don't take a position out of desperation hoping to find a better one later. Only accept if you actually want the job and the package and location suit you. By accepting a job you're only lukewarm about, you may be locking out a potential applicant who would be thrilled to have it.
