Hello everyone,
I would like to know if moving to Kuwait and applying for teaching positions while there would increase my chances of getting hired than applying for a job while living abroad.
I lived in Kuwait before and I have friends there so it wouldn't be my first time in Kuwait!
Your help and comments will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! |

Hi, I am sure that there may be visa issues and such but personally, I would apply first. Have you tried the TES website? They are good and are recruiting now across the world and Middle East.
Good luck! |

Often employers that hire you locally will not give you a foreign hire contract. That means that you only get salary, but no benefits... no flat... no tickets... etc.
Not a good option. I'd check this out before flying off...

I've worked at 3 different schools in the 8+ years I've been in Kuwait. I was hired locally with all 3 and received an overseas contract each time. Most of my friends and colleagues have worked for at least 2 different schools, and all have received overseas contracts, even though they were hired locally.
If the school is a reputable school, the overseas contract is a given, whether you're hired from abroad, or in country. |
