Working overseas
Start Teaching in the Northern Hemispere. To do this you will most likely need to get a HOLIDAY WORKING VISA for the country you wish to work in. It is rare to get a sponsored visa for the northern hemisphere in your first year. However two ELITE candidates did this 2010- 2011 season.
Once you have a HOLIDAY WORKING VISA for that country you apply to the schools directly to gain a position. A number of Northern hemisphere schools actively recruit here in the mountains mid winter. ELITE candidates are working in Japan, Switzerland, Germany, USA and Canada this 2010- 2011 season.
