    I think you'll be fine especially if you get a bilingual
    education certificate to tack on. The city is under corrective
    action and there are a lot of incentives for schools to open
    dual and bilingual classes. Also Esl is in demand and on
    the rise. Be aggressive and confident and you'll get a job.
    My school is looking for part timers now to held fill in new
    mandates.
