    Some people go in seperately. Since yours is so early it will probably be just you. It will probably last about 30-45 mins. Good Luck :)

    I got offered a job, but I decided to take 24 hrs to decide. How do I go about accepting the contract then? I can't make it down to Limerick again today?

    Hey! The group interview is totally informal! Nothing to worry about very basic questions!

    I got a place in the Dubai school secondary teaching, anyone else on this going there??

    Hey! I have an interview with them this Sunday in Dublin. What sort of questions do you get asked? Also, just wondering what people got offered money wise? Do you think it's enough? I'm earning a fair bit more even after tax here so that's the only thing I'm slightly worried about but maybe I'm worrying over nothing!!

    Yeah u think the money is poor alright but I think if u want the experience of traveling it'll be enough to let u do that! (hopefully) u certainly won't be making ur fortune there!

    They asked questions Like how would u prepare to teach the lesson ur given, why u want to teach there, what would make u a good applicant. Really that's all they asked in my interview anyway! It was pretty short! The questions are very basic!

    Yeah, you're right. I'll still definitely go for it but I was just hoping to save a bit when I was over there, but if it doesn't happen, it's not the end of the world or anything close!!

    Thanks for the questions.

    Hey all.
    I've an interview with ADEC on Saturday. It says they might ask how you'd teach an outcome based lesson. Does anyone have any good info on the outcome based approach that they'd like to share. :-)

    Thanks.

    Is it possible to get work with just a degree I am finished a humanities course focusing on Religion and English. I have done teaching placement for two years so I would have experience in the classroom.

    Hey as far as I know flights (but not at christmas) and accomadation are included, so are other utilities. The pay is 1,500 euro a month, and you are paid for a year even though you would be finished in June. Hope this helps.

    It seems al you have to have is a bachelors degree. Teaching experience is not even essential.

    Hey everyone! For all those people who have already been offered a place in August, did you just sign the contract and is it now just a matter of waiting for flight details? I have been offered a place in Abu Dhabi but don't know what school or anything like that, does anybody know if we find out before we go over?

    Hi all,

    I am a UCD student and I have my face to face interview in Dublin tomorrow. If successful I hope to go to either Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Any thoughts on which would be best? Anyone going there in August?

    Thanks in advance for any help :) Ruth

    Hey, I'm have had my face-to-face interview for a teaching position with sabis. They said that they cannot guarantee a location until 4-6 weeks of signing the contract, however no specific location is stated in the contract. I am worried as to what may happen if I go over and they place me in a school that was not agreed on. Does anyone know when you will definitely know where you are going?? Kinda disappointed because I had stated my preferences long ago and just made a long trip for this interview only to confirm nothing :(

    Nope they didn't but I thought you could tell them where u wanted to go before u sign the contract? How was the interview? Is there anything out of the ordinary they ask you?

    They said to me that they had more kindergarten places than other positions so hopefully you will! I think we get a classroom assistant for the little ones which will be nice:)

    Afordy- I think they said four to six weeks but I'm not quite sure. they said to keep posted for email notification though.
