Not necessarily. It depends what the school is looking for. I notice in the costa blanca news today, which I read online, that there is a vacancy coming up at the Sierra Bernia School, in L'afaz del Pi, which is next to Albir, North Costa Blanca and they are asking for applicants to submit a 2 page cv. It might be worth submitting a cv and going through the process if only for the experience and the school will retain your cv for future vacancies I'm sure. This particularly vacancy is a short term teaching position due to maternity leave but it is often the case that another position comes available.
I have been in this School, private fee paying, and it's very nice. English Headmaster if I recall correctly who is mad passionate about teaching and a mix of nationalities in classes with a good mix of teachers. I taught in the International College in Albir, again private fee paying, and the teachers were all nationalities, British, (I am scottish, irish teacher next down and Welsh teacher next up, english teachers, german, american, and nigerian science teacher who was hilarious - it's a wonder he didn't blow the school up!!! great fun.
My advice - go for it. You will regret not trying I'm sure. Good Luck, Libby
