Also, try to find jobs in your native tongue if necessary. NOVA will hire just about any native speaker of any language to work in their multimedia classrooms.
I appreciate the information. When you say not to apply only for the "best offers and positions", are you saying we shouldn't aim only for the "highest salaries and least demanding working hours"? I'm not too picky about salary and workload when I apply for a position, but I do research the company to see what other people say about it. If many negative things are said about the job, I usually think twice before applying.

I applied for a position as an English teacher with NOVA just the other week. I didn't think they'd be interested in hiring a Swedish teacher (their homepage says they're looking for English, Spanish, French and German teachers), but maybe I should ask about other, less well-known languages as well?

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
