does anyone know anything about teaching in UAE? I am in Sha...

Hi,well I guess finding a job in UAE is pretty easy as far as you have a university degree ,TESOL ,but still the new regulation in MOE says you should go through a several interviews at MOE.I´m working in Alain and I feel this will be the last month ,I dont feel like staying here at all.but anyways you can find a good job if you are a qualified teacher.good luck

hey i dont think it is gonna be as easy as you said to find a good job here as most of the schools are running after navite speakers rather than the experience and relevant education but thanks anyway.

it´s true but if you are really experience ,just try to send them some of your pictures so I guess you can find one.Good luck

Hi, I am starting a job in UAE in October - I´ll be in Madinat Zayed, which is a town about hour and a half from Abu Dhabi, inland, close to the Liwa Oasis.
I don´t have any first-hand experience, but most what I heard about UAE is positive, depending, of course, on who you work for and where you are, and how culturally ´flexible´ you are.
What are your qualifications/experience? I know that employers have a bias towards ´native English speakers´, but a good one will employ non-natives with like-native speech and proper qualifications/experience.
As long as you´re qualified and speak properly and without a strong accent, there are many language schools in Dubai who cater to businessmen/women and who are always looking to hire teachers. You might not make a ton of money, but you´d be able to live comfortably.
I don´t know what else to tell you off the top of my head - it would be really helpful to know your quals/exp :-)

hi! am looking for a good opening in Dubai too. could you suggest where to send my applications? am from India, with Masters in English, Certificate in TEFL, with over 12 years of teaching at the college/university level, in India, Dubai - a short stint - and Oman.
am in need of change very badly, though i am presently in quite a good position. could you help? i would be so thankful.

If nothing comes out of this website I am just going to wing it move to the middle east and find something

Well,all I can say is wherever you´re going to work just make sure you´re not working for indians .

Hey Marijana, see if you can find me something. I have given my qualification here a earlier on - do take a look, and yes, am serious! Shall I thank you in advance?

hi guys, i´m off to sharjah next week, THANKS serious teachers.
you could try sabis schools as they have dozens of schools in the middle east and germany, they are currently looking for more teachers. good luck.

Hi Pinar...my name is Paul from Sacramento CA (U.S.) I spent 3-years in the UAE working for the Higher Colleges of Technology in both Ras al Khaimah and Sharja colleges. They are a great college to work for! I would highly recommend that you contact them. Also I have friends who are working at the American University in Sharja. It is also a good school if you can get in. Let me know if you need any specific informatin. Good luck..... Pau

hi pinar! im a filipino and presently working as an english teacher here in japan. i am also interested to teach there in uae...how´s job hunting? have there been any successful responses? hope you can share your experiences...best regards!

well dear Annagale, if you are happy in japan i wouldnt suggest coming over here cos there are already too many philipinos here and i cant say they are well paid. it is not as easy as for us to find a job if you are not a native speaker of english. that does not mean that you cannot find anything here though sure you will but it may take some time. the best thing to do is send your cv to couple of places via internet as see how it goes.
good luck

If you want a hand, or some advice, write me.

Does anyone know of a recruting agency called Jobs in Dubai? If so is it worth signing up for and paying the registration fee of $92.00cad

no Katrherine, no need to sign up for if and pay all that money. There are loads of other recruitment acencies which can help you find a job. just contact them, and apply for jobs you can find in gulfnews appointment or classifieds. good luck
