Re: How many interviews with the same school?

@ shadowjack
I completely agree.
I have all the information I need about the package, and I don't want to negotiate.
I am just wondering if they are going to offer me the job, in that case we are going to talk about the contract/package,
OR if they are still in the selection phase.

How many interviews with the same school?

Hello,
I applied in December for a position at an IS in Europe.
I received an email a month later to let me know I was shortlisted.
They asked me to submit a video interview, which I did. It is a simulation of a real interview:questions show on your screen, you have a limited time to answer, no possibility to pause, go back, or delete. You pretend you are talking to an interviewer, but you are actually just looking at the webcam. Not my favorite type of interview. They even included questions in 2 other languages. Probably to assess my level since it is a position of foreign languages teacher.

I received an email 2 days after I submitted the video. They are inviting me to a 1st Skype interview with the Principal and HR person next week. They also started contacting my references.

Do you think they are going to make an offer? Should I get ready to talk about the package (which is accesssible on their school website), or should I expect another round of questions ?
I am a newbie in IE. I don't want to get too excited.

Thank you!

Re: Apply without certification - French German teacher

Thank you so much for your answer.
Your explainations make completely sense!
I feel more confident and won't hesitate anymore to apply for French positions.
Have a great week!

Apply without certification - French German teacher

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, and my first year looking for an international job!

I am a French citizen, and I am certified to teach German. I have taught German for 12 years in France before I moved to the US in 2013. This is my 5th year teaching German Middle School in the US.
Before I left France, I obtained a Diploma for teaching French as a foreign language from the Alliance Française, but I don't have any experience teaching French. And no IB experience either.

I am registered wit ISS and I often get notifications about schools in need of French teachers. Most of the time, the requirements include teaching experience, and/or IB experience. My first choice would be to keep teaching German, but positions are rare. I am confident I could teach French, and I would love to, but I am not certified.

Will my applications to French teacher positions be considered?
What are my chances to get hired as a French teacher?
Also, I have been awarded the QTS. Can this help me find a position?

I am open to any advice and suggestions!
Thank you.
