Why is it so hard for me to get a teaching job in this country?

i qualified in ireland , am eligible for a h1b visa if I could get a job but nobody seems to want me ,yet at home i can get as job no bother.Is it that hard to get a job teaching in pa?

Virtually impossible in PA!!! Too many teacher's colleges in the area sending out new teachers each year. They have been giving incentives for early retirement, but there are still a lot of people not willing to give up their position. Also, they won't admit it, but there is a lot of nepotism (hiring friends and family). If you don't mind a challenge, and want a definite job in teaching, come down to Prince George's County in Maryland. You will definitely be hired! Source(s): Former PA resident, elementary teacher

I think that it maybe hard because no one is sure of your abilities. It may just be that you havent found the right school yet.
In America teaching jobs are difficult to find for many reasons. The most basic reason is the number of people who want to be teachers. There are far to many for someone to find a job easily. In the school I go to, which is a small country school, the teachers had to go through multiple interviews and take specialized tests for their fields to so much as be considered for a job.
Try getting a job in Las Vegas. Thousands of teachers in the Clark County school district are leaving; I guess they aren't paid enough to match the rising cost of living. They are so desperate for teachers now, they are even recruiting foreigners from the Philippines, etc. to teach their students.
we have teachers right here in the US that can't get hired and are taking non teaching and sub jobs while they wait on something to open up.

The only foreign teachers that I know of are in the Math and Science fields like Physics and College Algebra.
because this country is too busy killing other people and took all the education funds and therefore cut all fo the jobs. The class sizes are getting sooo big but they are eliminating more teachers.
