Teaching English in Bogota

Hola! I am looking at teaching English in Bogota. I am Australian and I have just finished a TESOL course but don't have any other formal qualifications. Can someone out there tell me how successful i would be to land a job (based on not having any experience etc)? Will being a native speaker (and the TESOL DIploma), provide me with enough experience to get a job? Also can you tell me where the best places would be to find a job? Thanks for your help!

:)

Hola Kim,
There are alot of places that would hire you. I recomend talking to Adriana at Petersons English Consulting. I have been there a month and they are really good people. And they pay on time, which alot of places dont. you can reach her at 311-356-0546. Tell her Steve sent you.

Hey nbase41, do you still jump?

you may have to get papers to extend your visa if you want to teach for a while. petersons is good ,but that is if they give you enough hours. 10$ us dollars per hour is what they ususally pay, but it is hard to get a full solid 40 hours a week. you may look into teaching some private students as well.

is this legal work? Are they giving papers or assisting? I heard you might face quite a bit of trouble if they catch you working (teaching) without a proper work visa... true? or not?
I have been trying hard to get a job in MDE or BOG for a long time...from abroad.
