Memo from T.E.O.
Would you be good enough to let your students know that on Friday, March 8, 2002 we will have a dozen districts or schools who are recruiting teachers in Scarfe from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. These include representatives from B.C., Alberta, Ontario and California as well as a recruiter for Britain.
Classes continue as schedule on March 8, but students can talk with recruiters during breaks. Many recruiters will conduct interviews on the spot and TEO is taking appointments for students. Anyone interested is encouraged to speak to TEO to book an appointment because many recruiters want students to fax a resume first.
