What is the process in order to be hired for an English teaching position in Dubai?
Hello Book;
Welcome to the forum! First you will need to create a profile with Teach Away (if you have already done this, read through). After you have created a profile, you will be able to apply directly for jobs by clicking the "Apply" button, making this your second step. Once you have applied to the positions you are interested in, our Placement Coordinators and the schools we work with will review your application and will contact you if you are being considered for an initial interview within 1-2 weeks (This is for all non-direct to schools positions). Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications we receive, we can only reply to candidates who are being considered to move forward. You can always check the status of your application by clicking the "My Applications" tab in your teacher Dashboard, making this your step 3!
You may also notice jobs that are labeled "Direct to School Jobs." For these positions, you will not be contacted by a Placement Coordinator, but will be contacted directly by the school itself if they would like to consider you for an interview.

Best, Shirin
Sarath I wouldn't mind your help here too...though I can boldly say that my English is excellent but I am new here and I just started applying. I would appreciate more information on application and the waiting period as most of the applications I saw were the direct to school, I don't know how to apply through the Teach away coordinate
Hello Adesoye:
Welcome to the forum! Typically it takes about 2 weeks to hear back on your application if you have been selected to move forward with your application. Do keep in mind that for all Direct to School positions (you will see this noted on the posting), it will be the school's discretion to get back to candidates, and wait times can vary, that being said you can expect the wait time to be about 2 weeks.
Because of the volume of applications we receive, those who are not selected to move forward will not be contacted
Best and good luck with your job applications Shirin
