The sign up session is the most important part of the fair because this is where you convince recruiters to interview you - but it's also a dynamite opportunity to network and find out information from other international teachers.
Networking at a teacher recruitment fair is really easy because we all have something in common. Maybe you are like me, I'm not comfortable talking to strangers, but I have no trouble at job fairs.
I think you'll find that if you screw up the courage to say something simple like "Hi, what position are you interested in?" when you're standing in the lines at the sign up session you'll see what I mean.
Teachers love to talk, just give them an opportunity and you'll be networking your way through the job fair.
Networking opportunities can be found in the candidates lounge, in the corridors while you're waiting for an interview appointment, in the lifts on the way to an interview appointment and if you lurk around the candidates mailboxes you'll find a steady flow of overseas teachers too.
