Does anyone know of any efl employers in the Emirates to contact with a resume. Looking for a place that is easy to obtain a job with. Even if god forbid, it is a commercial school. Right now, location (U.A.E.) is more important than pay or work conditions. Looking for any employers to contact with a resume that don't post vacancies on Dave's or other popular EFL job sites. I have three years experience, two of which are in the ME, an MS (not an MA unfortunately) in education and a CELTA. There has to be some employer out there. Thanks for ANY feedback. Feel free to PM me.

However, I'm not sure if they do out of country hires (with all the attached paperwork/visas) They do not provide accomodation and pay by the hours worked in class (no prep work etc.)

Try the schools on this list, though I don't think many if any will be recruiting at the moment.

You could also try the American University in Dubai:

(but I think most of their EFL teachers are locally recruited and the conditions are not great)

There's also the new George Mason University in Ras Al Khaimah ( which I didn't believe earlier, but I've been convinced!)

And there's a British University which has reportedly just opened in Ras Al Khaimah but they don't seem to have a website yet. And one in Dubai that does, but again I don't think they recruit EFL teachers from overseas:

Good luck. I hope you can find something from one of these but I wouldn't stake my future on it.

If you can't find anything in the UAE - there is a University in Buraimi - it's about 2 years old now and I have a feeling they're recruiting. Can't tell you anything about it - it was pretty disorganised when it first opened - but that's to be expected. Buraimi - though 'officially' in Oman is a few minutes walk from Al Ain and therfore the UAE - it might be worth a try.
PM me for a possible contact..
