I love to receive comments on my blogs; it shows that someone is reading them besides me (well, I know that folks are reading them by looking at the blog stats, but it’s nice to hear from readers anyway).

I do get a few comments, but most of them are folks listing their qualifications for a job at one of the schools that I’m reviewing. Please note that I am not a hiring agent, and I have no connection with the schools that I review. This is a completely independent blog and posting qualifications here is absolutely a waste of time. Additionally, not to be overly critical but most of the comments by folks looking for employment are phrased in such a way that no one would hire them. I had a comment recently that said, “I’d like a job in ur school. Email me.” Seriously, I hope that the person who posted this was not really looking for a job.

To be very honest about this, and I hope that it helps someone, you cannot just send an email with a few sentences about yourself and then finish it by asking, “Do you have a job for me?” No one would answer this type of email even if it was sent to the right place.

Finding a teaching position in an international school takes a lot of work: you need to have an impressive resume, relevant work experience, and strong writing skills. Please read what is on each post about finding employment and follow those instructions. If you cannot do that, you will never find a position overseas.
