Hi to everyone,
I'm new to news groups and the accepted codes of register on the newsgroup.
Please bear with me.
I've just completed an Inlingua Cape Town intense course on TESOL/TEFL. I'm
interested in teaching in the South American countries but have no clue how
to go about it.
My problem is this: I'm from South Africa and it seems that most recruitment
for teachers are for Australia, New Zealand, UK, Canada and the USA.
Inlingua is one of the biggest independent language schools in the world so
it is a good certificate to have. Do I really have a huge disadvantage to
the teachers from the countries mentioned applying for the same jobs. Does
one need to bother with work permits at all seeing that the red tape for
this is enormous. Is Peru and Ecuador a better bet than Chile and Argentina
for finding positions. Would anyone advise me to set up a couple of
interviews, fly over from South Africa for the interviews, just to fly back
again, apply for the work permit and fly back to South America. This seems
the only legal way to me.
If this is the incorrect news group to discuss this topic I would appreciate
any help on being directed to the appropriate newsgroup. Any advice on this
would be appreciated.
Thanks
Stephan
