That's what I hope to go towards, but he's just unsure if he still wants to be in the profession. Thanks for the advice though - I've relayed it to him.

Curious about trailing spouse careers

I have accepted my first IS job for the fall and my husband is a trailing spouse. He has his teaching license but isn’t sure if he wants to continue with it, and I’m curious what other careers other trailing spouses make work when the IS career path can mean moving across the world?

Second Interview Tips

I am new to international teaching and I have had two interviews so far. One was a rejection, and the second is moving to the second interview.

What kind of things should I be asking about now that the school and I are more serious about moving forward?
