"It's great to know that I am not alone now that I am searching for work in Barcelona after my course. The careers support service is very reassuring. I have already had two interviews as a result of the initial submission of my C.V. by the careers service to a large number of local schools."

“The careers support provided at Oxford TEFL was invaluable and helped create a launching pad for a great career in Prague. The careers department offered detailed advice on working as a TEFL teacher and sent my CV out for me - a huge relief! I found full-time work the first week out of the course and have been able to continue living in Prague with confidence in my teaching skills all because of the support network at Oxford TEFL.“

“I love to complain, seriously, and wish I had something to gripe about with careers counseling but seeing as I got a good job the day before the course ended, I can't say a word. Not only was Sinead around to help with CV and interview advice but she also went to bat for me and contacted the school when I had to cancel an interview last minute: reassuring the school in question that I wasn't so much unreliable as focused on last tasks of the course and had stretched myself a little thin in trying to fit in an interview on that particular day. I went back to interview with that company the following week, got the job and am still happily employed in Prague. “

“The Careers Service at Oxford TEFL was my life-line to finding a job here in Prague! I met with Sinéad shortly before finishing the course and she looked over my CV and made a few suggestions on how I could improve it to make myself more marketable, she then plastered it all over Prague! :) She sent it to over 75 different agencies here and I began getting phone calls and emails to set up interviews within days! I had a job within a week of graduating from the course and I still have companies calling me. She was there to answer questions and offer advice all along the way. She was very supportive through every step of the job hunting process. “

“Before even having finished my course in 2007, I was being interviewed by different schools. The careers support service had sent out my CV to their contacts. I started working for a school a week later and stayed there for nearly four years. In February of last year I left Barcelona to go travelling and when I got back in October, Oxford House once again found me a position teaching in-company classes. I am loving teaching there and am very grateful to the career adviser!“

"Thank you for sending out my CV for the past two weeks. I received a good amount of calls and emails. Finally, I decided on a school and it has been going well. Right now I no longer need my CV sent out. Thanks for your help!"

"Thank you very much for helping me with my CV (it was a definite help!) and also for sending it around to various schools for me. I have had a few replies, but no longer need it send out now. I've been a bit busy of late so I haven't been working on the on-line course for the past couple of weeks but have posted some stuff on the forums today. Now I only have to finish off planning my project and do the weblog and am intending to finish it off by next week."

"I took the Trinity Cert. TESOL Course at OxfordTEFL in November 2007. After passing the course, Kate sent my CV out to over 100 schools. The next day I was inundated with job offers. I thought I would struggle to find work, but there are always hours going if you are prepared to look. I am still in Barcelona, now teaching at Oxford House and can see myself staying here for a while."
Darren Campbell
"I was concerned after completing the course that, as an American, I might be unable to find a job here in Barcelona. However, with the help of the careers service here at Oxford Tefl, I have secured some excellent teaching positions with good pay here in Barcelona. With their help, I am confident that I can remain in Barcelona for as long as I want. And, if I ever need help finding more work, I know that they will be here to guide me in my job search."
