How does the application process work?

How to apply for teaching jobs abroad with Teach Away

1. Create and complete your teacher profile. Your teacher profile is what prospective employers will see first when they are reviewing your application made through Teach Away, so it is essential to keep your profile up to date and complete it as much as possible.

2. Browse our job board and apply for the jobs that interest you. You can also check out our School Directory page to see which schools are currently hiring. With a complete teacher profile, you can one-click apply for the positions on our job board.

3. Once you’ve submitted a job application, the schools (and in some cases our Placement Coordinators) will review your application. You will be contacted if you are being considered for an interview.

4. After this, the process will vary depending on the position and country. Some jobs will require a number of interviews and rounds, whereas others can make a decision after the initial interview.

5. You got the job! Now it's time to start processing your documents and getting your hands on a visa. The steps here will be different for every teacher and it's important that you understand what is required of you to work in a country. Our coordinators and the school will help
you out, but it will take some organization on your part to get everything processed in time.

6. After the visa is secured and the contract is signed, it's time to book a flight. Some schools will take care of the flight for you, others will reimburse you, and some schools will not provide assistance with flights and you will need to book one on your own.

 

Note: Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications our website receives every day, our Placement Coordinators or the schools might only reply to candidates who are being considered to move forward.
