The Melbourne International Teaching Job fair attracts around 50 international school representatives, who will travel from their schools to meet with, and offer positions to approximately 190 teaching candidates. We aim to keep the ratio of schools to teachers at 1:4.

Join us at the InterContinental Hotel, Melbourne for our job fair run over 4 days from January 4- 7th, 2019. School Principals will run presentations on living and working in their specific country, followed by a sign up session to make times to interview face to face. Job offers follow either at the fair or in the weeks following.

WHAT SORT OF SCHOOLS RECRUIT AT THE MELBOURNE FAIR?

The growth of the international school market is exponential and each year a number of new schools are looking to recruit teaching staff. There is, naturally, a very wide quality spectrum of schools available for candidates to consider and we can help candidates chart their way through this vital exercise in a number of ways.

Schools attending the Melbourne fair have to be registered and have undertaken a rigorous process of screening before they are accepted. As a registered candidate at the Melbourne Fair you can expect specific advice regarding schools which are of interest to you.

IS THERE A CLEAR PROFILE OF SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES?

Teachers in specialist fields have the best chances of success due to a smaller teacher supply in relation to the number of jobs. Music, art, library, early childhood, science and mathematics specialists do have an advantage over English and ESL teachers, fields in which the supply is large, but schools are always looking for outstanding teachers in all areas. Also in high demand: educators who have flexibility and the willingness to work in sometimes challengingly different professional environments. However, any teachers with a passion for student learning can succeed at this fair.

We would love to see you there!
