... or am I just being a muppet?
I regularly look on polang_jobs and the tefl website but I can't find a job advert anywhere. Have you guys got on any ideas? Does Krakow have it's own web page?! |

| OK, so I've done just a teeny bit more research and found 2 more jobs over 6 websites. I still think these jobs are hiding from me somewhere..... |

There are already teachers in Cracow looking for work so a lot of schools don't really need to bother.
Come if you can. |

| From my experience schools will hire someone that they can meet face to face over almost anyone who is just applying over the net. I recommend getting to krakow ASAP, taking your CV from school to school and trying to meet the DOS. Often they want to see you teach a lesson or two before they make any final decisions. |

Well there's some free money right there. It's illegal to ask for photographs with job applications. I think I might have to send them an application without a photo and then find myself a lawyer who'll split the winnings 50/50 with me! |

Find me a Polish employer who doesn't ask for a photo, at least for their Polish employees. It's such an obscene trend here, but it's par. And when has illegality ever been an impediment in Poland?  |

| Cheers for all the suggestions. So far my CV has been sent to 25 schools with absolutely none replying after 3 days. I suspect I might have to email them until they get bored of me. Either that or they don't like my photo. Alex, what's your number?...... |
