4. What is the job situation like now in 2013 in BA for ESL teachers?

5. Is there a list of schools available somewhere on line that is no less than 3 years old for Argentina?

6. What other cities are worth checking out in Argentina for ESL teaching?

7. What other cities are worth living in for nice quality of life for your own personal reasons?

8. Do people tend to live as roommates to save on rent?

9. What do you love about living and working in Argentina?

10. What is the weather like where you live?

11. What is your main reason for staying in Argentina?

Some other things to keep in mind...

1. The law forbids non-Argentinians to teach in public schools

2. usually small private language institutes hire non locals.

3. For things like holiday pay, sick pay, bonuses and accommodation you have to be ready to negotiate. They don't come easy.

3. Theres greater competition in BA for finding work.

4. Best times to find work are in January/ Feb

Now this is an interesting post indeed for all of us who might have an interest in the beautiful country of Argentina. I wish I could tell how reliable or accurate it is. OP, can you tell us how long you have been living and working in Argentina? Are you living there currently? Can you tell us your visa situation? It's really hard to know just how much weight to give this information without any clue as to how you acquired it--can we assume from your own personal experience? Or . . . ?

I am not in Argentina.

I will be passing through there maybe next year or sooner.
I will stay for one - 2 months and see how it goes.

What I have posted is the only information I have been able to find on the internet.
Its all very limited.
I've tried to contact people teaching over there but have had no luck.
Must people on forums say the visa situation is awful and I hear nothing of jobs there.

mexicoconnect advertises jobs there on a regular basis.
but mexicoconnect is a scam which I have checked into along with many others.

school lists for argentina tend to be extremely old and out of date.
And with visas being hard to get I don't really know what people do.

How old the information is out there is a big issue.
