Not going to happen. go to the job fairs inthe States for overseas teaching jobs. If by some wierd act of God, you did get job here at this time of the year, it would pay doggy doo for a salary.

Sorry to rain on the parade but facts are facts.

Good luck.

Not too shabby. Ask where the room is, the conditions, if you'll have to pay electricity and water, phone, etc, and what type of transportation. What might sound like a great offer might end up being a nightmare in the end...

That is a very good offer if room, board and transportation to and from work is offered. I am truly surprised that one popped up at this late date!! You must have a awesome curriculum....You are to be congratulated.

Most likely you will be sharing an apartment with other teachers. Check to see if you are sharing a bedroom/bath so you know in advance. For the cultural experience, this is an acceptable offer. You will need to live frugally, but you can learn the language, take time off for great tourism excursions on long weekends and holidays and weekends, and experience a new culture.
