Find a leadership job

ISS requires that your references be submitted via our online confidential evaluation form. The importance of your confidential references cannot be underestimated. As soon as you submit your application, your referees will be contacted. Let them know to expect our email.

You must provide contact information for at least three supervisors:

• At least one supervisor from your current position.
• The remaining two references can be from positions you’ve held within the past seven years. These people should have supervised you while you were in an administrative role. To create a well-rounded profile, we encourage all candidates to add as many references as possible. While three supervisory references is the minimum, recruiters appreciate reading a larger selection of references if possible.

Copies of official transcripts can be scanned and uploaded. We request official transcripts of your highest degree earned.

All educator/administrator certifications from the Department of Education or government office in your State/Province/Country.

If you have a spouse/partner who is not an educator, we require a Partner Statement. This document serves as your spouse/partner’s introduction to international school recruiters. It is not a cover letter or resume. This document should be completed whether or not your spouse/partner will accompany you to your new school.

While these materials are optional, recruiters appreciate viewing them to get a multifaceted sense of who you are:

• Philosophy of education
• Open letters of reference
• List of specialized achievements and/or published works
• At least one writing sample (maximum two pages, double spaced) and/or links to newsletters or other materials you have published.
