Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]
Check out the ads running at the moment, Smurf. A decade ago it was as you say - now the best places don't need to fly people in. The places that advertise on tefl.com, Dave's etc are either way out in the sticks or have some other reason that they need to advertise outside the country.
In all my years of hiring teachers in PL, I only ever once recruited from outside, and that wasn't a huge success. I advertised internationally a few times, but most of the replies were from Americans, Canadians, Indians etc and therefore useless for legal employment - that or absolutely green newbies fresh from a CELTA who weren't much use to me either.
That ain't true and you know it.
