Where to find Jobs Teaching English

I don’t usually like to do pages or posts of just links, but the job search is an important part of getting yourself abroad.  While we could probably list 100+ jobs websites, we will focus on the major and more reputable jobs sites.

All the jobs websites will open in a new window, so you won’t lose the list on this page.
And, usually, the link is to the international jobs page – not to the home page of the website.

These jobs lists will be a good taste for you as to just how much in demand YOU are!

TED’s Tips™ #1: IF you work with a recruiter, work with only one at a time.  If your resume shows up at an employer via several recruiters, schools will assume that interviewing you will be a waste of time as you will have so many options.

TED’s Tips™ #2:  NEVER pay anyone for your job.  The demand is great enough that you don’t need to.
