General Information About The Search Associates Dubai Recruitment Fair
The Dubai Fair is particularly appropriate for teachers (keen on IB schools or otherwise) who seek a position in Arabian Gulf or other Middle East countries or in any of the schools from elsewhere which regularly attend this fair. Obviously of great convenience for any teacher currently located within relatively easy range of Dubai, the fair now features over 40 schools each year.
Harry Deelman started the Dubai Fair and has been present, helping candidates and schools, at every Dubai Fair since their inception. This recruitment fair is now organised by Harry's close friend and colleague David Cope, the UK-based representative of Search Associates. Harry's continuing role at the Dubai Fair is primarily focussed on helping the IB-experienced teachers. IB-experienced teachers who are new to Search Associates should register with Harry Deelman if they wish to attend the Dubai Fair.
Candidates registered with any branch of Search, including all teachers registered with Harry Deelman, need to familiarise themselves with the Dubai Fair Information for Candidates webpage (see link in the right hand column of this page) and then request a candidate-place invitation from the office of their sponsoring associate.
Teachers registered with the Harry Deelman branch of Search Associates should notify Harry of their interest in the Dubai Fair so that he can send them an invitation. No duplication of paperwork is needed. Each candidate should send Search registration papers, references, etc., only to the Search office that the teacher has chosen to register with. For Harry Deelman registered candidates this means that they are sent to our office in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where they are carefully monitored, filed and made available to other Search Fair organisers and to School Recruiters in support of the candidate's job applications.
School Recruiters have their own Dubai Fair Recruiter-place application and should follow the link to the Recruiter-specific Dubai Fair information page in the right hand column of this page to reach the relevant application form.
