Yet another resource for international job listings is the International Employment Gazette, a magazine that Transitions Abroad describes as “the best job listing for those interested in the field of international education” (87). The Gazette website, however, doesn’t offer much. Even after registering you can’t search for jobs there except for among the “Job of the Week” postings. Articles are simply adverts for directories you can buy, though most of the information is available for free online.
If you’re still a student, I recommend you take advantage of all those university career center resources. I know I have. At the University of Oregon, for example, the Career Center features a small but well stocked international library, an international resources webpage, and international job listings that you can have sent to your e-mail daily.
Last, but certainly not least, Susan Griffith’s Teaching English Abroad provides an invaluable “Country by Country Guide” that includes most every location of interest to an EFL teacher. For each country, she includes a list of schools along with the following details:
. . . everything you need to see if you qualify and to make contact. I definitely intend to use these listings as a guide for a speculative job search once I feel ready to start sending out my resume.
