I cant remember the name but wanted to ask if anyone knew when and where is the Job Fair in the UAE .I think it is around January/Feb for some reason (probably the Christmas Port) I cant find any links to it?! Anyone? Also what is it like in terms of numbers attending/ opportunities. is it mostly entry level Uni jobs etc or is there any other jobs there ie Management etc.

* Reaches for the Port bottle...

Merry Christmas and a great New Year to everyone on here!

They also have a website that will eventually show employers who will be there recruiting. The vast majority of jobs will be for teachers, not management.

Although the job fair is mainly for teacher recruitment, the British Council, AMIDEAST, ETS (TOEFL), IDP Education (IELTS), Cambridge Press, and various other sponsors will have booths set up to talk with conference goers. The conference is pricey but provides a great opportunity for networking.

For those interested in seeing what TESOL Arabia offers, this past year's conference is online in ebook form (www.tesolarabia.net/ta/TACON2014eConferenceBook.pdf).

Not only is the conference pricey but with the job fair can be anywhere from 780 aed to 1250 aed. A bit pricey just to have your CV thrown in a pile.
