If that isn't the case I'll find something closer to home!!<BR/>i'll keep you udpated, thanks again!MilkJamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739677330268984829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15730222.post-37035112894314946052008-09-15T07:56:00.000+02:002008-09-15T07:56:00.000+02:00I have a question since you have your CDS and you ...I have a question since you have your CDS and you are allowed to work legally... Can you find out where you need to go/talk to about getting your habilitation? That's what I did in order to work in the public local schools... I passed the interview and got an attestation to be able to teach Eng. in the local schools as an "English Teacher" not an assistant... They pay wasn't super great but you can work up to 18 hours per week- I think it's about 850 euros- not very much, I know.. but if it's closer, it may be a better option.. Although, I don't know the schools where you are so I don't know if it's preferable to work in a private vs. public school... <BR/>I don't like the commuting thing- and personally, wouldn't take a job if the commuting was a big part of it.. All my teaching lessons are pretty central to where I live- I do commute, but it's close enough with the RER... I gave up a job teaching in a school because of the commute... And, in the winter months when it's cold-- who wants to commute?! Maybe that's just me, though.. <BR/>Good luck and keep us posted.. <BR/>Check with Jennie on IE Languages- She knows a lot about this subject.. <BR/>Ciao ,<BR/>LeesaCUPCAKE PRINCESSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09717075194547622267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15730222.post-9649938108322048902008-09-11T21:30:00.000+02:002008-09-11T21:30:00.000+02:00Ok, I don't understand all of the job specifics......Ok, I don't understand all of the job specifics...like the money at the end and the hour business. But, I wanted to say I would double check about taking the interne exam after having worked as an assistant. It could very well be the case that's true. But, they might require full time teaching and I understood it more as at the end of 3 years you HAVE to take the exam to be able to continue working(but, maybe that was just private schools.) I dunno...I think having the right to work can make things easier, but it still seems like it's a struggle to find jobs for foreigners who don't have the right degrees. The fact that it's pretty sure that you'll get a CDI, that's a huge plus. I know someone here who upon getting a CDI after only 3 yrs of living here, got a 5 yr card. So, that could maybe help you with citizenship stuff. You can always work at the Uni, do stuff during vacas and even tutor to supplement income if it's going to be tough until the end of the year. GL, I hope some of that is helpful!<BR/><BR/>PS-my verification has ksam in it! hehe.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698816373406087611noreply@blogger.com
