Hey, I will be moving to buenos aires feb 4 and am looking for some info about job searching. I don't have my TEFL, but i have a degree from a very good university in the US, am fluent in spanish and have a good deal of tutoring and some teaching experience.
What i was curious about was the best way to present myself to an institute or potential employer. Should i submit a normal resume geared toward teaching or is there some different format i should follow? what is important to outline in the resume? How should i be when i go in to meet people or interview? how should i dress? what are they looking for?
Is there a certain type of school thats easier to get a job at without the TEFL?
Besides the info, i'm also looking for cool friends. So either way, hit me up.
ciao

|
|
Hey there,
I'm also curious about the best time to arrive in BA to try to find a TEFL job. I have an English degree, worked as a journalist, have a TESOL certificate and have taught TEFL for the past 2.5 years, including about a year in Madrid.
Is it possible to find a full-time gig or will I only find a 10-hour contract and it's up to me to find privates?
Finally, if you do manage to find 20-25 hours work, is that enough to travel around on the weekends, especially if I share an apartment?
If anybody has any recommendations on schools or leads, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks guys,
Tim |
