    Hi Victoria. I am from Trinidad. I noticed that you got no response here. Were you able to find and be placed in a position? I am now in the process of looking at positions and would appreciate any help/advice from others who have gone through it, especially in our particular situation, being from the Caribbean.

    Thanks much.

    Hello Measha:

    Welcome to the forum! I can see that you have started applying to positions mostly in June, don't be discouraged yet and apply to more positions as they become available.

    Good luck with your applications and search,
    Best,
    Shirin

    Hello. I am also wondering if Nationality plays a role in getting job offers. I have a teaching certification from the US and a QTS from the UK but still no luck. I'm beginning to wonder why.
