List-Servs

In addition to searching job banks, you can subscribe to list-servs of individuals or organizations connected to possible employment in the Latin American countries. Follow good web etiquette when participating with these sites. Start by reading the lists for a week or two to get a general idea of the types of emails being sent. If you decide to post a question, make sure it can be answered easily, with little effort on the part of the list members. For instance, do not post a question like, "Are there any jobs in South America?" Instead, ask something like, "I'm interested in teaching English as a Second language in Peru. Does anyone have a suggestion for an agency or other resource for finding an opportunity?"
