Anisha (Lead Recruitment Consultant) was very supportive and professional. After a Skype discussion, Anisha was able to recommend roles which she felt were particularly suitable for me.<\/p>\n<p>Anisha, was great. She telephoned me when I had not replied to an interview offer (as it had gone into my junk mail) and without that personal touch I would not be starting a new role in Vietnam in January. I also really liked the fact that she considered roles that were suitable to my teaching style and philosophy so I didn&#8217;t feel I was being pushed into applying for unsuitable jobs.<\/p>\n<p>I am really looking forward to getting to know my new class.<\/p>\n<h5>Read\u00a0about some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherhorizons.com\/advice\/enhancing-international-teaching-experience\/\">outreach projects in Vietnam<\/a> that you could get involved in.<\/h5>\n<h5><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6225 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teacherhorizons.com\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/J-Tomlin-and-penguin.jpg\" alt=\"J Tomlin and penguin\" width=\"468\" height=\"312\" \/><\/h5>\n<h5>Judson will sing our praises from Singapore<\/h5>\n<p>So many positives about my experience with TH. I think the biggest thing was that Tiffany actually took the time to get to know me a bit by email and over Skype and listened to what I said I was looking for in a potential school. Instead of throwing every available school to me, she would match me with schools that she thought were a good fit for me and was able to clearly articulate why she thought each school matched what I was looking for. Additionally, there was great support going into interviews&#8211;simple things like quick, positive emails of encouragement, along with brief follow-ups and a few really useful logistics, like linking to a short video on how to create a professional setup for a Skype interview. The other big positive I would highlight is that I never felt inundated by emails from TH&#8211;no marketing stuff, no unnecessary communication&#8211;everything that came through was personal and pertinent to me&#8230;and, as soon as I accepted a post, the weekly emails with new vacancies stopped without me having to take any additional steps. I really felt like TH valued my time, which is a huge help for busy teachers.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to being able to do more fieldwork with my students in some interesting locations throughout Southeast Asia!<\/p>\n<h5>Judson is going to teach at one of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherhorizons.com\/advice\/best-international-schools-phnom-penh\/\">the best international schools to teach at in the world<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teacherhorizons.com\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/Talim-Arab.jpg\" alt=\"Talim Arab\" width=\"272\" height=\"272\" \/>Talim\u00a0will be tripping to Turkey!<\/h5>\n<p>TeacherHorizons gave me step-by-step information on finding a job overseas.
