hi. 

I am a qualified intersen teacher from South Africa, this means I can teach from grade 4-9. I am also finishing my second year of teaching in december 2016, which means I will have 2 years experience before starting in Jan 2017 abroad. 

However after applying for January 2017 elementary post in Abu Dabhi, my application says closed. The lady that contacted me for my resume refuses to get back to me to explain whats the problem. 

Can someone please help me.

    Hi

    If your application for the job says "closed" it usually means it was unsuccessful.

    Hi valene.
    Thank you for replying. I am aware that is was unsuccessful.
    My aim in posting this question was to try and understand why it was unsuccessful so that I know what the problem is before I apply for other posts, or if I even should apply again.

    Thanks though for your reply.

    Hello Bibi;

    Welcome to the forum! We receive many applications on a daily basis, and often do not hear individual feedback on applications. I would recommend you to go back to the job board and apply to the positions that you are interested in, paying close attention to minimum requirements, start dates and interview locations (if posted on the posting)

    We wish you the best of luck in your future applications
