Hi; my name is Adam Janos and I'm looking for a job teaching English in East Asia for the autumn. I am willing to commit for at least six months, but will take a one-year contract if the job offer is competitive.

I have a year's experience in ESL teaching (Argentina and Ecuador) and am TEFL-certified. I recieved a B.A. in Political Studies and Writing from Bard College in New York, Spring 2006; my job experience since then has been varied, and I have a knack for languages (currently speak English, Hungarian, and Spanish with ease).

I am American, and have had my writing published in English and Hungarian.

Please find my resume attached below; I give strong preference to job offers that include housing, airfare and/or free language courses.

I look forward to hearing from you, and hope to continue my career as a English teacher with your program.
