It's a bit hard to look for jobs in a new country when you don''t know how anything works. But I'll just have to learn. I was just on a online chat with the Department of Education to ask about my possibilities as a NQT (newly qualified teacher) from Sweden. There are good news and bad news. The good news are that English teachers are in demand and that it seems as though I don't need to do an induction period in the uk. The bad news is that I need to get QTS (qualified teacher status) before applying for jobs. I won't graduate until June, and then I'll have to wait for my actual degree for a while, THEN I can apply for QTS. I'm not sure how important it is to do things in that order, maybe the schools will trust me that I actually have a degree before I get my QTS...?

Teaching in England
I had a look at some teaching jobs online yesterday evening and found a few that seemed really interesting! I need to start applying soon as the deadline for most of them is in March!
