|
|
I would be interested in knowing about ESL employment opportunities in Mongolia in other cities besides Ulaanbaatar (i.e. Erdenet, Darkhan, others?). I spent several years teaching in UB, and am now looking to return to Mongolia, but to avoid the capital. I know that Mongolian employers often fill openings by word of mouth, so I am curious if anyone has current or former employers in other Mongolian cities who are looking for teachers? Please PM me if you do. Thanks! |

Since you taught in UB for several years, did you ever become a member of the English Language Teachers’ Association of Mongolia (http://www.mongoliatesol.mn/home.shtml?sel=733)? They likely have info on possible teaching opportunities outside the capital. |

No, I hadn't heard of ELTAM until now. The impression I got from their site was that they are primarily oriented toward supporting teachers with resources, rather than connecting job seekers with teaching positions, but I will try getting in touch with them. Thanks. |

Having information about possible job opportunities and connecting job seekers with teaching positions are not the same thing. Unless ELTAM maintains an active job board, consider them to generally be a valuable resource for information where jobs are concerned. I also suggest you take time to read more about what they're about since you're intent on returning to Mongolia to teach. |

I have found a job in Mongolia since my last posting. For others interested, the only place I have found a listing of teaching jobs specific to Mongolia is www.keytomongolia.com, which is also where I found my current job by posting my resume. The ESL job market in UB does seem to have gotten a bit tighter, however. |

The website you listed doesn't come up. |

Great info, glad you post on here. One question i would like to ask, do most schools expect or demand formal clothes for teaching? Like to go there traveling and maybe later pick up work. I did this in turkey and teachers were informally dressed, one even dressed like a rap artist. Not that i would go that far. |

No, though it depends on where you teach. Generally, semi-formal is enough -- a sleeved shirt and trousers, tie not necessary, though a suit jacket is useful for keeping warm in unheated classrooms. |
