In this video I’m chatting with Jerry Furminger-Black, who’s worked in recruitment in both the ESL world and the corporate world, and she’s helped hundreds of people land the jobs they actually want. I wanted to bring her on because a lot of you are in that “okay… so who’s hiring now and how do I find them?” stage, and it’s easy to waste time applying in the wrong places or sending the same generic CV everywhere. We talk through practical ways to find online ESL schools that are actively recruiting, what to look for when you’re researching companies, and how to make your application stronger so you’re not getting filtered out straight away. Jerry shares interview and CV tips, and we also chat about the bigger considerations people forget—like what you really need from a role (hours, pay structure, stability, onboarding, and expectations) before you jump in. This is part 1, and part 2 is coming later in the week (August 23), so keep an eye out if you’re actively job hunting right now.
