Is it hard to be a foreign woman in Oaxaca, Mexico?

I'm in Mexico too. Your experience is similar to what I've heard from other solo women around. In those smaller towns especially solo women are viewed with suspicion or pity given the traditional culture. It can be isolating. I'm curious as to how you were able to get a university position. I'm thinking of getting certified to teach but would possibly like the option to teach adults as well one day in case I get tired of the kids one day lol. Would love to hear your experience

Hi there. Everything will be different for everyone depending on the person and the location, I’m sure. This is a very diverse country. I’ve worked here before. Someone in my teacher’s group recommended it about 8 years ago. I came back in 2021 because I found another advert for a position for it online. Came back again in January the same way. There are many of these public universities here, but there will be many fewer positions available now because the university has finally changed its policy and started hiring Mexicans for the language department. This is a VERY good job for Mexico and Mexicans, so there will be less and less of these jobs advertised.

I can barely hear you.

Uff! I’ll have to re-record it. It’s HOT here and we don’t have AC’s. Even right now, I have 3 fans on me and I still struggle to sleep.
