The best way to get a job is with i-to-i’s job placement service, which can arrange you work in a reputable Prague language school. Otherwise, with so many newly-qualified teachers hitting Prague’s streets, it’s almost impossible to secure work before you leave home.
Can I find work while in-country?
This is the most common way to fix up a job. Contact the Academic Information Agency in Prague if you’d like a state school job, or simply ask around at your hostel when you arrive.
What is the usual hiring process?
To get a state school job, you’ll need to apply by the end of April, and interested schools will contact you personally. If you’re arranging a job when you arrive, simply go into the private schools and they’ll set up an interview if you fit the bill.
Is a work visa required to find paid work in?
If you’re from another EU country, you can live and work in the Republic for as long as you want without a visa; you simply have to register with the Alien and Border Police if you plan to stay for more than a month. Officially, Non-EU nationals need to get their work visa in advance. However, many come on a tourist visa and then change their status by leaving and re-entering the country once they’ve found work. Their employer will also need to arrange a work permit.
