Hi Kristen, I have been here for the month of July on Tourist Visa, then returned on Sept 3 and have been here since and will leave Dec 4th (I know over 90 days, but I had 5 days in Zurich so it puts me at 89 days before I leave) I am on a 1 year business visa multiple, the problem I have found is that even though I have a one year visa, I am only allowed 90 days every 180 days. The TEFL or English teaching jobs are a valid way to get here, earn some money and be in country legally to work, problem I have found is that they are usually a one year contract (I don't know for sure I have my TEFL certificate, but never sought work) You may look at the Moscow times on line and post your resume there, oh and you do not need to speak Russian to teach English, it would help if you knew a little, just to get around town as well as be able to order reasonably priced foods, but pointing and please seems to get me by (I have lost 20 Kilos since I have been here in 3 months, from 36 waist to 32, maybe don't trust this advice) I am a student of UO Phoenix and working on completing my Masters in Business Administration and find it very easy for online studies seeing that we are a day ahead of my school, and I am a writer for a living *please refer to weight loss and time took to lose weight and you will see that my fiction is horrible whilst my autobiography will win Pulitzer. For sure, one thing I would suggest is reading Gogol's Dead souls, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina before coming. Good Luck
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of kristen rice Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Expat List Advise about moving to Moscow I want to move to Moscow for at least a few months to learn Russian better for my school as well as for myself. I would like to work there and am looking around for information about jobs. I do not speak Russian very well and would like to know if anyone could give me advise on a good place to look for a job. Preferably that I could use my English. It seems like most of the jobs I find are teaching English, but I am not sure they are so legitimate. My previous experience would not benefit me because I would need to speak Russian in order to obtain those types of jobs. I do not really care what kind of job, just something that would pay decent (about $1500 or more a month), would be legal, and would give me a flexible enough schedule to be able to complete my online university work and take Russian classes. Also that may help with a work visa. Thank you for any help.
