Hi Everyone!
I'm new to this forum so I'm sorry if this question has already been asked. I didn't see it while I was browsing through.
I've been teaching for 3 years now, and I would love to continue my career by moving into teaching for the private sector. Specifically, in the tourism/hospitality industry. I think it would be so cool to teach English to staff at hotels. We've all been in that situation where we have had to deal with hotel staff who do not speak much English.
How can I go about looking for positions like this?
Any tips and suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

Boots on the ground and network. If you are good and your reputation precedes you there is work and they will seek you out. (I have to turn work away).
IF you are looking for full time employment with a proper visa and work permit then it isn't going to happen. There are far too many long stay tourists available to them to choose from who will work simply to extend their stay on the beach.
As an alternative, you can, if you have a degree and are a native speaker, find work in a vocational school that offers courses in the hospitality-tourism sector. This would be full time, come with benefits, visa and work permit.

Hey!
Sorry for the late reply, I don't check this thing as often as I should.
Thanks for the tips! I'll def. try out the vocational college thing. Also thanks for "keeping it real". I appreciate the reality check as it's better than sugar-coating sometimes. |
