Hey Everybody, just trying to work out this blog thing. So far so good.
Well this last week has been a pretty busy week. After trying to come up with a budget that would work where more money came in than went out. Allie and I realized we needed to look for new jobs. While we did have two jobs teaching English one of our jobs never gave us steady hours. So we quit one of the jobs on Friday and started looking for new jobs the following Tuesday.
After sending my resume to a couple English schools and two gambling web sites Tuesday morning ( I have heard of several job opportunities in online gambling in Costa Rica). I spoke with an English school Tuesday afternoon and was able to set up an appointment for Wednesday. The interviewer gave me directions to the school, assured me it would be okay if I was late for the interview and I could tell this was a boss I could get along with. I showed up to the interview on time Wednesday and was offered three night classes starting the following Tuesday. With three new classes on top of my three morning classes I figured I will make almost 100 dollars a week. That might work but will still need to eat rice and beans at least twice a week yuck.
This story I would say is a realistic and good example of the ease in finding a job teaching English. All the schools I have talked to and all of the teachers as well agree that native English teachers are always in high demand. I do not have any experience teaching English, majored in Aviation Management and was offered every job I interviewed for. It is easy to find a job teaching English in Costa Rica However finding a good school that is convenient, pays well, and gives you enough hours is another story.
