I'd just finished my MA in TESOL degree and then came to this city to take a summer course for credits that would count towards renewing my state teaching certificate back in the USA. (Amazing how I'd just completed a 2-year MA program and was still missing 2 credits needed in a specific area to renew my state certificate.) While I was chatting with the director of a language school one day, she asked if I'd be interested in teaching at her school. That was my first job in this city. For my second/current job, I heard by word of mouth that the local university was looking for qualified, experienced teachers for their EFL department. I dropped by their office with my CV in hand, was given an informal interview on the spot, had two more interviews that same week, and was hired.

I'm currently working for a school I found on http://www.tefl.com

Next year I'd like to go teach in Latin America but these countries don't seem to post a lot of ads, so I have the feeling I'm going to have to fly in with a backpack and scout around for work... Neutral

You could be right about Latin America. I hope to get down there one of these days for a trip and maybe I'll find out some info.
Seems www.tefl.com was lucky for many though lately I haven't found much of interest to me.
