I am moving to Poland in June of 2016. I am open minded as to where exactly to live, and of course that mostly will depend on where I can find decent work.
My job experience consists of childcare, retail management and I am a licensed beautician in my country. I am currently finishing my EFL certification. English is my first language. I also speak Spanish, but I only know a few polish phrases I use in passing.
In the US, I have never had an issue finding a job I want because I take an aggressive approach. I show up in person, professionally dressed with resume on hand and make a request to meet whoever is in charge. We make small talk and then talk business. Within a short time I find myself with a job offer.
However, I am not sure about professional ethics in other countries. Because native speaking EFL teachers can be a dime a dozen in most big cities in Poland, my first thought is to take the aggressive approach to job hunting. But is this a proper way to find work there?
Any suggestions or advice you have for someone looking to teach EFL would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
