Not sure about your employment chances, but as for your resume, either save it as a .doc (as opposed to the abiword format) or print it to a pdf file.

That should get their attention...........................

Some off-topic posts have been removed. This thread is now in the teaching forum and trollish remarks are not tolerated. If you have nothing constructive to say, then please don't post.

I have also had to remove the email address, which isn't allowed on the open forum.

Don't always believe programs that tell you anything. Please see:

Wish you best of luck finding the right job and place..

Payap or CMU may take you. CMIS, I've heard, is now mainly "jobs for the boys", NIS just sacked a number of teachers, contracts paid up to June, I wouldn't be looking to move into that mess with accreditation issues as well.

If you're interested in American schools, try APIS, not heard anything irregular about them for a while.

In reality, at 68, international schools would be reluctant, universities may be a better option.
