I posted the below question in the newbie forum, but received no answers, so I thought I'd try it in the Africa forum.

Ok ... I have a B.A. in English, was Editor in Chief of my college newspaper, and I studied at the Sorbonne for a semester, so my French is quite good. What are my chances of finding a job in Morocco?
I'm taking a TEFL course in Bordeaux this August. I've emailed all the ALC schools with only one response. So here's my question ... with my qualifications, would it be a good idea to simply go on down to Morocco and knock on doors?
I'll be in Paris for a week or so after the TEFL course. Is that good place to job hunt for Morocco?

Did you contact Proformation (who've been advertising on this site) and Amdieast in Rabat? If not, maybe you should.

You have the qualifications to legally teach English in Morocco, but I really don't think it's a good idea for you to just come here and knock on doors.

There are a few reputable language schools in Morocco (the ALCs, Amideast, probably EF in Casa, the British Council) and a lot of places that are not so reputable with which teachers have had a lot of grief.
