Hi Shirin,
I have made a few applications and they have all come back with a "closed" outcome. I have noted what you say about ensuring that one qualifies before submitting an application, I believe that I do qualify for all the math teaching positions I applied for, I even have a Masters degree with faculty head experience. I am beginning to think that there must be some other obscure condition that I am failing to meet. Kindly have a look at my profile and let me know. I would like to teach in the UAE.
Hello Sima;
Welcome to the forum and if you see that the application is closed this means that you either didn't meet the minimum requirements, job has been filled or that the school simply decided not to move forward with your application. My advice is to keep an open mind and apply to more positions that you are interested in and we wish you good luck on your search and future applications
Best, Shirin
