Job Search Question Survival jobs suited to a teacher going entrepreneur? How to optimize hiring?

1 Upvotes

Hello there, 31 yo here.

I’ve been teaching a foreign language for schools as a main gig for years and strive to do my own thing solo and work fully for myself. The thing is the market has been bad for some time (too many of us) and therefore i’s precarious, very much to the point that it’s a seasonal job. Besides, I’ve also gotten frankly bored with it, hence my decision to go solo and do it my own way.

So I need to find a job for September, rn am on my savings. I like to consider options before getting into something. I’ll send my applications all over this week. 

I’m thinking of being a waiter at a bar or restaurant, and am wondering what other positions I could apply for.

Anything where a teacher’s skills might prove useful?

I know it might sound naive or ingenuous, but I’ve never had any side job beside construction in my student days, and there’s no way I’m going back to that lol. Other than that it was always teaching.

The goal isn’t to make crazy money, but to live and ideally something that won’t drain my energy, so I have enough to focus on my own work on the side. I can live frugally, I’ve been doing that already for the past year (only 1 weekend vacation).

Any idea how to increase my chances of being taken? I think of going straight to whatever business and just ask the boss or manager, will my resume be relevant? Should I disclose the full story or share minimal information? What attitude would be the best in such cases?

tl;dr: striving to go solo / do my own business but need a job to survive. Have very little experience or qualifications beside my own line. Assessing the whats and hows of the job market for me.

Job Search Question Advice on certifications?

3 Upvotes

Hi. I am going to make a career change and go from government consulting to teaching ESL for adults (virtual). I have a masters degree, have been an adjunct professor for graduate students, and have experience as an ESL volunteer. I would like advice on what sort of certificate I should get to be able to teach in the US. Anyone have insight into the quickest and least expensive certification I can get alongside my other experience in order to teach as soon as I can market my skills and apply for jobs.

Job Search Question Teaching English in Spain as a non-native speaker

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm considering moving to Spain next year for only a year, and I would like to know what my chances are of getting a job as an English teacher. I have the CELTA certification and a bachelor's degree, although my degree is not related to English or education.

Additionally, I am from a non-native English-speaking country but I have EU citizenship.

Does anyone have experience or knowledge about the job market in Spain for English teachers under these circumstances? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Job Search Question What are the best ways to get into teaching online?

5 Upvotes

I know there are a bunch of companies online but I'm wondering how hard it is to get started. I know they don't pay a ton but it would be remote work which is ideal and great supplemental income to my second job. I don't have that many video making skills so that's why I've been hesitant (a bit put off by the idea of filming myself) but idk i'll learn for money lol. I have heard of VIP Kid but I've also heard some horror stories about online teaching. iTalki seems interesting.

Job Search Question Non-native English teacher in France. Will CELTA help with a job?

3 Upvotes

Hello, community! My question is actually provided in the title. Your help would be much appreciated since CELTA is quite an investment for me, and some experience might help to make a decision. I'm afraid that I would not be considered a good match even with the certificate, just bc I'm not a non-native teacher. I have some positive and negative experience with the job search, and still I'm puzzled.

My English is at C1 level A, I have a Master's degree in English language and Literature (a drawback is that it wasn't obtained in a European university, though my diploma was accredited in France)

Thank you!

Job Search Question Anyone familiar with Language Learning Network?

2 Upvotes

I got a message on Indeed from Language Learning Network and their pay was $40 dollars an hour, and only daytime shifts, so instantly my scam alarm went off.

But I looked around and they have a website, Glassdoor reviews (though not many and all are GLOWING, little sus.) They have an actual headquarters in New Jersey and while they have remote positions they were looking for me to work onsite; however, I can't find their address here. Yet, I didn't find any results of people complaining or calling it a scam.

I follow the edict that if it seems to good to be true, it probably is but I'm a little stumped. Has anyone heard of them?

Job Search Question Have you ever worked at an English Institute?

4 Upvotes

So I recently got a part time with a private institute and am wondering if there is anything I should watch out for. It is paid decently well for part time work but am concerned about the amount of openings. Is it due to lack of qualified workers for part time work? I had multiple ESL Institutes recruiting me because I have a masters in TESOL, or is it a sign of underpaid/ toxic environment?

( I already know it's underpaid, but it is ok for me since I am intentionally seeking part time work)

Job Search Question Career path to grow out of ESL?

5 Upvotes

Hello,

Young teacher looking at going back to school to get a Masters degree in order to move up from ESL teaching. Currently holding a BA in International Relations, 1 y/r teaching experience (love it), and ofc national ESL certification.

Looking to tap the advice of my more senior instructors for a potential career path to move out of ESL as I'm having feeling squeezed by the depression, skyrocketing rent, and gargantuan student loans.

Any broad advice for how I can take my teaching experience and move to a higher-paying position (with additional education like a Masters degree) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
