BEFORE YOU SIGN YOUR CONTRACT FOR AN JOB WITHIN EDUCATION OVERSEAS, HERE ARE 5 RED FLAGS TO CONSIDER FIRST!
I know this may be a question that you may not have thought about, but it is important to know if other foreign educators want to work there. You want to ask this question during your interview. Knowing if there are other educators there from other countries is key to know if this school will be a good fit for you.
Pro tip: RUN!
You should think of this in relation to “how are you going to be protected?” If there is a situation there that occurs, you will not be protected and could lose money/time. Any potential negative situations will not improve without an HR management team.
This is when a school system does not create room for you to grow and/or move up. It is easy for educators to stagnate within a certain position. If you would like to become a lead within the future, this will not be the place for you
Depending on the time of year, this may vary. If you were interviewed in the summer, then there may not be a lot of team members working during that time period. However, if you are being interviewed during the school year and there is only one person within your interview, this is a direct reflection on how decisions are made. One interviewer expresses to you that this school does not make collaborative decisions.
Which means you are reimbursed for what you pay for to start your job abroad. Most work visas cost a lot of money and there are multiple steps where you will have various work visa related expenses such as your medical history, background history, authentication of diplomas/degrees.
