Zazm;
I assume you're asking about teaching jobs. It's been a while since I looked for a new job, but I'll tell you what I can about the situation here in NYC.
I doubt that you could find a much better place in the U.S. for ESL possibilities. Private schools, community centers, libraries, colleges and universities, you name it; most have ESL programs.
For starters, I'd recommend checking out a couple of websites. I don't know their exact addresses, but a Google search should provide you with them without problems.
For CBO (Community Based Organizations) all around NYC:
The Department of Youth and Community Development website
For available jobs:
Literacy Assistance Center website
Craig's List often has ESL related jobs.
There's no shortage of the smaller, private language schools, though expect to be paid substantially less. Three that spring immediately to mind are Zoni, New York Language Center, and ALCC (it's hard to get on a subway car without seeing their splashy posters!)
Good luck, and see you in Gotham!

Actually, if memory serves, EFL is what people teach and learn in countries where the native language isn't English (such as in South Korea). ESL is what's taught in English speaking countries, such as in the United States.
As for work other than ESL related, I have no idea. Craig's list is still a good all-around resource. Good luck. |

I suppose if your home country is a non-English speaking country (say, China) then you move to a country whose first language is English (say, Canada)...then yeah, you could be right.
As for non-esl jobs, it would depend on your background, what you're looking for, what you'd settle for, etc. |

Searching online is a great way to search for employment in various states. I agree, WWW.CRAIGSLIST.COM is a great site and is easy to use and has listings of jobs in multiple fields. Another site where I currently found my job was through WWW.POSTMEUP.COM. It's very similiar to craiglist, but has the states and jobs listed in a more organized fashion. I don't really like MONSTER.COM because they are so many annoying pop ups. Hopefully this helps you out. Good luck job hunting! |
