Hi all,

I am leaving for Spain in 3 weeks to pursue my 4 wk intensive Celta cert thru CLIC (International House in Seville). I am hoping to teach in Europe.

I am American, but I have an EU Passport.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with CLIC International House in Seville. How was the class? How was the aid with job placement? I am looking to get into a job rather quickly. The course ends March 13 and I'd like to be working in April/May. Is that a reasonable expectation? What should I expect? I would like to stay in Spain... Where (what cities) am I most likely to get a job in? What types of schools?

What has everyones experience been in getting a job after the completion of the course? How long did it take, etc?

I have enough funds to hold me over for a month or two while I look for work, but obviously I would like to get started with a job asap.

I have also been looking into getting a job during the traditional school year with MEC, The Cultural Embassadors Program (http://www.mepsyd.es/exterior/usa/en/programs/us_assistants/default.shtml). Anyone have an opinion on that?

Also, what have people done for housing while searching for a job? Or for an income during the interm? Once I have the job, where can I expect to live? Avg. compensations?

Thank you so much for all of your help. I am sorry for all the questions, but I need advice!

Look forward to hearing from you!
