Ecuador: Escuela Politécnica Nacional (Centro de Educacion Continua)

In passing, I found the following opportunity posted on GoAbroad.com. After researching a bit, I contacted the university and shortly there after received an offer of employment with very detailed information regarding how to organize paperwork for the position. Though I personally did not follow through, I recommend it to others looking to teach English as a Foreign Language abroad.
