Has anyone used Search before? How much do they help you find a job and how much of it is doing your own leg work?


Basically, is the only thing they offer is access to their fairs or do they do something else?

I was wondering this too. Also, how many of you experience international teachers belong to more than one placement agency? Does this help and do you recommend this?

I belong to both Search and ISS. In my experience neither really do anything to actually help you get a job. The big difference seems to be that ISS takes the money as you come in the door and Search takes as you leave with a job. Either way it's the same.

I have registered for both conferences in the past and used the second as a back up just in case I didn't find a job at the first. It's a bit of money but better than flying back to Pakistan without a job. Yes, flying back to the States from out of the country to find a new job is very expensive.

For the school director it's a paid holiday. For us cattle it's a an expensive affair.

Hi Sarah
I use Search Associates and it is very good. However, all depends who you are registered with.
I suggest you to do it with Harry Deelman.
Although he organizes London February fair, he might help you if you want to attend any other.
Good luck!
