|
Hello all...
For those of you already teaching in DF, I'm visiting in August for five nights to check the city out and see if I'd truly like to be there. In your experienced wisdom...  Is it worth my time to try and meet with some schools while I'm in town?
Thanks for any and all input! |

| Schools tend to hire on the spot, so if you aren't really living here, and just visiting for 4 days, it probably would be a waste of everyone's time. That's the time of year school begins so you would need to be here, settled and ready to work. |

Yes, you could interview. But as it's been said it won't really do you any good.
Mexican schools don't seem to plan much of anything out. If they have an opening for an English teacher they will often hire the first person that walks through the door.
Remember, if you have a language school and there are classes and not enough teachers, you're losing money. So they will hire pretty much whoever.
If a native speaker with no degree and no experience, just a TEFL goes up against a Mexican teacher with experience, the native speaker will often get the job. |
