Are jobs really available year-round in Mexico, or are there certain times of the year when one could reasonably expect to have better luck job-hunting? I'm considering the IH CELTA course in January in DF but it doesn't wrap up until mid-February, and I'm concerned that this timing could put me at a disadvantage.

Also, what kind of housing you would recommend for while I'm in the CELTA course and until I a landed a job? IH has a few options-- has anyone has taken advantage of their accomodations? Or if you know of other short term housing that would be safe, comfortable and economical... please let me know!

Thanks!

1st thing. DO NOT stay at B&B mexico more or less next to insurgentes glorieta. i had all my valuables stolen from there on my first day in mexico, probably by a member of staff as their lockers aren't safe. they still haven't changed them. scumbags.

find somewhere in roma on craigslist if you have no spanish, or compartodepa.com. no one i know in roma would live anywhere but roma. beautiful and half the price of shinier condeas across the way.
less jobs kciking about than before, but no one i know is finding it hard to find work. IH might give u a job when u finish the CELTa, they gave me one.
