Re: Dear PsychBean

[quote="Walter"]Even by Dave Psyguy's appallingly low standards, his reply to you stands out. It revealed his ignorance of the work of a school psychologist, it was factually incorrect about your chances of getting a job, it was trite and racist in its - of how different cultures respond to a psychologist, and it was cheap and sexist in its advice to you to get a man, be a trailing spouse and hope to get a job that way.
If ISR had any concern for the people who use this forum, it would delete the comment straight away.
I'll be in Boston and happy to talk to you.[/quote]




Thank you. I will make sure they have opportunities for me in Atlanta but I plan on going to those mentioned. I look forward to speaking to you, any light you can shed would be welcome.

[quote="WeDoDude"]Search does take an online payment. I paid my fee via PayPall and had to forward my associate the email with the confirmation in it.[/quote]

True I paid online to Search also. That guy is a nut! He copies and pastes his answers and gives half truths!

Also, the Search fee is NOT $225 I just paid $200 last month!

[quote="vettievette"]I don't know if it is necessary to go to 3 fairs - as most people I know usually go to only 1. I'd pick the fair w/ the most schools possible. Out of your three, that would be the Boston fair. Bangkok is usually for the teachers who are already seasoned vets teaching internationally. If you're aiming for the Middle East - a ton of the Middle East schools go to the Boston fair. And if you really want to increase your chances of finding a job - I'd expand into the counselor positions as well, particularly if you have experience working in schools.[/quote]

Thanks! I think I will be going to Atlanta ISS and Boston Search.

Re: Sorry

[quote="PsyGuy"]Short answer, its not going to happen. You have a couple f significant factors against you:

I needed to respond to this one. First off I went to one job fair and interviewed with 4 or 5 schools with my two years experience. 1 School reached out to me before the fair and requested I come to interview with them. I was an alternate for this school and the others they had nothing this late in the hiring season but said next year I would be in better standing. One school of which I was an alternate for said they would be opening up another school for 2013/2014 and that I please keep in touch because they would have something for me! I have since spoken with the Deputy Director who thanked me for my interest in their school and he insisted we keep in touch for the next school year.

So you are wrong! Worst case scenario I do have one opportunity, however I was wondering if I started early would I have many. No need in responding to any of my posts Psyguy. Now I see why people curse out you have no idea what you are talking about, your just an angry person.

Furthermore I can practice outside of my country as I apply at American schools!

Also that comment about getting married which you have applied somewhere else is so dense. You sir are a Donkey!

School Psychologist with 2 yrs exp.

Hello All,

This will be officially my first year of fairs. I went to the Philly fair with ISS it was small but nice. I had a few interviews but nothing fruitful as it was the end of the year already.

I am going full force now to all the fairs starting with Atlanta in Dec and Toronto in Jan with Search and then Boston with Search. What are the odds of me landing a job with 2.6 years exp? I am willing to go to most countries with Middle East being at the top of my list. I realize there are a few of these jobs and few Psychologists at fairs.

So just wondering for those of you that are seasoned vets at the fairs if you have noticed many of these positions. I am hearing Bangkok is a great place to start?...

Oh I am single and will be traveling with a 9 year old.
