I'm 27 with a Masters in Business, another one in TESOL, a CELTA and 4 and a half years experience with 2 of those years in universities. Just wondering if any non-US teachers have worked there and could tell me about the visa/work permit process and requirements.

Cheers,

I am American. I think it depends on what age level that you want to teach. I know that there is a need for primary and secondary teachers in general. If you want to work with students that are 18 and under, you should be able to get a job because you are educated and have experience. If you want to teach adults, I'm sure that there are jobs that are available for you because there are so many immigrants in America. I don't know about the visa/work permit requirements. I think you should contact the American Embassy in your country and see if they can help you.

I seriously doubt you could get a job in ESL.

I know of a couple women from the UK who teach at an American college but they have doctorates and experience, which is how they managed to get work instead of similarly qualified Americans.
