Job Fair Advice

I’ve been teaching internationally for the last 8 years, but I’m attending my first fair in a couple of weeks. During the interview sign up section, what information do I need to throw out there as I introduce myself to recruiters. Any advice for this aspect of the fair?

Re: Reapplying at a school I previously turned down

Just wanna give you all an update...

I sent an email to the school and addressed it in the first paragraph as many of you suggested. The principal replied stating that she did remember me and would like to talk again. It all worked out! Thanks!

Reapplying at a school I previously turned down

A few years ago I received an offer from a school but ended up turning it down to take another offer with a better salary. I’ve since paid off student loans and would really like to reapply for a position at the school I turned down. The same principal is there. Has anyone done this? How did you approach it?

Rio and EARJ

Thoughts on living in Rio from anyone who has done it? Savings potential at EARJ?

Readers/Writers Workshop in Latin America

I am searching for schools that use Readers and Writers Workshop in Latin America. I would love to find a school in South America next year but I'm open to Central America as well.

Reapplying at a school

I will be looking to leave my current school after the 2019-2020 school year. There is one country that I am extremely interested in living in South America. However, there are only a couple of schools there that pay a salary that would allow me to save significant money. One of those schools I interviewed with a few years ago. I did 3 interviews via Skype (2 with the section principal, 1 with the director), but they ended up hiring someone at the AASSA Fair (I did not attend).

Does anyone have experience reapplying at a school that has interviewed you in the past but passed? I frequently vacation in this country. Would it be strange to mention in my cover letter that I will be there over certain dates and could meet in person?

A little about me:
Male
Master's Degree in Educational Administration
15 years in primary education
7 years in international teaching (2 schools)
