Re: English Teacher seeks employment in USA
My cousin did her exchange 2004-2007. I agree, economy on both sides of Atlantic changed since then and no doubt these sort of exchange programs will be suffering a bit as they might be seen by bean counters as unnessecary.
But I feel still a more viable way/option of coming over than a lot of people have.

Re: English Teacher seeks employment in USA
Its very possible, the only concern now is the lack of H1B's, my wife was visiting me on vacation, applied for some teaching jobs, got offered almost every one she went for, then we applied for a H1-B and she got one and started work 
Now though you got like 50% chance of getting a H1-B as they are over subscribed. Don't let the doom mongers stop you from trying!

haha.. you should look at this year's numbers. As of Friday, I think the cap had not yet been filled. (the past several years it's been a lottery from the first day's worth of applicants on April 1)

Re: English Teacher seeks employment in USA
Can anyone tell me how easy it is for me to gain employment, in the US, as an English Teacher. I have just qualified to teach English at secondary school level. I'm aware I have to get my qualifications recognized by the state I wish to work, but does anyone know if there is anything else I need to do or have already moved to the US as a Teacher?

Lord St John is noted for his large number of personal affectations, including proffering his hand in papal fashion, lapsing into Latin while speaking, and deliberately mispronouncing modern words.[1] A loyal monarchist, Lord St John enjoys a close relationship with the British royal family[4] that has been described as sycophantic.[5] Soon after elevation to the Lords, photographs of him in purple bedroom slipper appeared in Hello! magazine lounging in the bedroom of his Northampton rectory a signed photograph of the late Princess Margaret prominently displayed. All personal notes were written in purple ink and after his elevation to the Lords, he used only official House of Lords headed stationery.
