At INTESOL Spain we care about helping you find a job. We offer a full, ongoing, life-time job guidance service, thus ensuring your short or long term TEFL future. We are committed to providing you with the best assistance possible for as long as you need us.

Should you decide to remain in Barcelona, our local knowledge and contacts are unparalleled as our parent company is prevalent in the Spanish corporate training market. Opportunities exist in the Barcelona area, not just within the city, but also, if you prefer a quieter and more traditional "Spanish" lifestyle, throughout the whole Catalonia province in which Barcelona is situated. Other towns in Spain such as Madrid, Valencia, and Seville also offer great teaching opportunities.

But exciting job opportunities exist worldwide. Many teachers wish to experience different lands and cultures. Whether it be other European countries, South America, the "old" eastern block, the Pacific Rim, China, India, and even occasionally such exotic places as the Maldives, we shall use all our available resources and best endeavours to help you achieve your own particular ambition.

Our job guidance service includes the following:

>> Guest Speakers
Guest speakers including graduates who have experience seeking work in Spain. This session will give you the opportunity to learn first hand what’s out there and tips on how to secure work.

>> Resume/CV writing
During the course we will advise you on how to update and make the necessary amendments to your resume/CV in order to make it TEFL / TESOL oriented and appealing to your prospective employers. Often this can make a real difference, since the appropriate layout and structure of resumes/CV’s can change a lot from country to country.

>> Interview Skills
We will give you all sorts of tips on interview dos and don’ts, so you can give a top performance at your future job interviews. Our course director will thoroughly inform you of what aspects of methodology and practice you need to be prepared for and will perform mock interviews with you.

>> Contacting former graduates
We keep in touch with INTESOL graduates and our database shows where they have taught and lived after their course. We will do our best to put you in touch with someone who has had first hand experience in the country of your choice so you learn about the pluses and minuses of life and work there.

>> Resource Pack
A pack with useful telephone numbers and addresses that you can use to start your search, including advice on job-hunting both in Europe and around the world, and using the internet Job-search notice boards effectively to identify recently advertised jobs.

>> Job guarantee
While we do not guarantee a job after the course, we make exhaustive efforts to find jobs / leads for all our graduates. There is a huge demand for language teachers worldwide and the chances of finding work after the course are excellent. INTESOL Spain gives you another big bonus: because INTESOL is a worldwide organization, we have an unparalleled network we can use to provide you with the latest information about job vacancies across the globe. If you want to teach or do volunteer work in a country or continent where there is an INTESOL Center, we can put you in touch with schools which often hire teachers or which are recruiting at that moment. We have a particularly strong relationship with our counterpart TEFL training center in Prague. If you want to teach there, they will be more than happy to talk to you and give you first hand information and assistance.

In addition to INTESOL’S efforts, you should make as much effort as possible to find work for yourself, by communicating directly with individual schools, presenting yourself well at interviews, and being patient and flexible.

Whether it be a long-term teaching future, or simply a "gap period", experiencing another world, INTESOL Spain is the right place to start!
