Hi Guys,
I'm from Australia and I'm moving to Almaty in the next six weeks.
I'm lucky enough to have an apartment supplied with my new Project Management position.
I'm hoping that my girlfriend can relocate with me and teach English, she has significant experience in this field and the appropriate qualifications. However thus far we have not received any feedback on job applications.
So I guess I have a couple of questions for any knowledgeable locals or expats on the ground in Almaty.
1) Is it easier to find jobs once on the ground, (visiting language schools etc)? An alternative plan may be that she enters initially on a tourist visa and to locate a job and then be sponsored for a visa afterwards.
2) Does anyone have any positive experiences with an employment agency in Kazakhstan? We have found a few, however I'm certain that at least one of these is fraudulent.
Any information would be appreciated as we are fast running out of time to make this happen.
Many Thanks,
Matt,
