 Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2005 4:53 am Post subject: short term work in mexico |
 |
|
I just found out that I will have a month of nothing to do until my university starts. I want to travel but I do not have much money. I live in southern California so Mexico is the closest country.
I have 4 years TESL experience in Taiwan. I am a certified teacher here in the states. I am 31 years old and single.
Does anyone know where I could land a short term teaching gig some where in Mexico? Preferably near the coast.
I do not know how the bureaucracy works in Mexico but I would assume that getting a working visa for 4 weeks of work would be damn near impossible. Therefore, I am willing to work under the table or substitute for someone going on vacation.
Are there any message boards for ESL teachers in Mexico where people post job openings?
Thanks |

I think you might find some piecemeal work, say teaching locals a little English so they can make sales on the beach or in a restaurant - but is that what you really want? You'd be paid very little. After lumping in your travel expenses you'd still be losing a lot of money.
If you want to travel but don't have money, why not head up to the mountains? You'd be a lot more likely to make a profit in your home state than while travelling in another country. |

| You might slide down to Tijuana and see if you can pick up a summer children's course at one of the language schools.... |

| Harmon Hall is not going to give you a job for one month. |

| I also worked for Harmon Hall--4 years (1 as teacher, 3 as director/DOS). I can tell you that they are not all the same in their policies of hiring and training. It doesn't hurt to check it out. |
