Thank you all for the great information and for taking the time to reply!

Hello everyone. I am very new to the whole IS thing, and there is something that still baffles me no matter how much I research it. I want to know: How do recruiters/schools hire people at IS job fairs in such a seemingly hasty manner? Sure, they may see CV’s the day before, but don’t they need time to contact and check out the referees before extending a job offer? Don’t they need time to actually review teachers’ websites or online portfolios to get a deeper understanding of the candidate and whether or not he/she is a good fit? There are many job fairs spread out around the globe. Why do recruiters hire a candidate in a January job fair......wouldn’t it benefit them to also interview candidates in at least a couple subsequent job fairs before making a final decision? I am sure they want the best teacher for the position at their school.

Thank you, veteran IS teachers and recruiters for your input.

Thank you to all who responded!

Hi folks. I am new to the IS application process. Can anyone tell me if it is recommended to list your Skype name on your resume? What about your time zone? What is the standard? Sorry if they are dumb questions, but I really don’t know.
