Hi expatters ))
My name is Dave from Sydney. I am moving to Russia for about 6-12 months and I'm wondering on how to go about it. I have extensive Sales and management training, I've also taught English in Europe.
I don't know the best way to go about applying for work and visas and what order to do things in.
Can anyone please help me by giving me some directions about where to start?
I've read that teaching English is always a safe option.
Thanks for reading)))

Hi Dave! Teaching English is indeed a safe bet.
The easiest way to get a visa, be employed, etc. is to apply to a Language school. There are LOADS in Moscow alone, and they're always looking for new teachers.
