Dear ISS Candidate:

Thank you for your request to reactivate your professional file with ISS.  During the past year International Schools Services assisted almost two hundred American international schools around the world with teaching and administrative recruitment, placing over 700 candidates in overseas schools.  In order to be considered for future positions through our services, candidates with existing files must submit completed reactivation forms to bring their files up to date.

REACTIVATION PROCESS

Reactivate your file online @  www.iss.edu

• Go to Recruitment Services/Reactivating a Professional File

Choose the option that fits your status:

1. For candidates with files last active prior to the fall of 1999:  Begin new application/reactivation forms and press the BEGIN button.  You will be assigned a new candidate number and choose your own password.

DOCUMENTS TO BE SUBMITTED:

ISS retains all previously submitted documentation for a period of up to nine years in your deactive file.  Therefore it is not necessary to resubmit documents already contained in your file.

Within two weeks of reactivation submission: (Documents may also be sent prior to reactivation submission.)

1. Official transcript confirming highest degree earned (Sent via mail directly from college/university in a sealed envelope.)

2. Copies of educational credentials (Submit copies of current certificates via email/fax/mail.)

Confidential supervisory references are required and must be submitted directly to ISS by the applicant's referees on school letterhead.  If open (nonconfidential) letters of recommendation are in your possession, please submit copies directly to ISS.  Submitting an up-to-date confidential university placement file that includes references is also acceptable.

File Reactivation Fee:  US $185
The nonrefundable fee must accompany the completed reactivation forms.  The fee covers the clerical processing of the forms and a professional review of submitted documents.  

No Placement Fees are charged to candidates who secure overseas employment through ISS.
