Looking for Work Teaching English or Sales in English

I was told by the University of Magdalena that I they would hire me as an English teacher. Today they told me that enrolment was much lower than expected and they don't have the money to hire me until next semester. Now my funds are very low and I need to find a job.

I am TEFL certified and have a 2 year visa that allows me to work in Colombia. After that I can get pertinent residency.

I live in Santa Marta but am willing to relocate.

PM me for the URL of my resume in English. I should have a Spanish translation ina couple of days.

Typical Colombia, seems to always happen. Something very similar happened to me. If I could give you a suggestion off of the top of my head, I would check out Cartegena or Bucaramanga.

Babygirl I thought call centers paid very little? I inquired about one and it was 10 hours a day, 6 days a week for 700.000 pesos montly. And that was for a native english speaker...the colombians made much less. No thanks.

hmmm.... that really does suck bad. I didn't realize that pay was THAT low. I think they only get minimum wage here too, so I should have guessed it.
