For Candidates

Why us?

At ConnectUS, we understand what it’s like to be in your shoes- because we’ve been there! As former J-1 teachers, we’ve experienced the challenges of navigating the job search, finding schools willing to hire international teachers, and going through the interview process without proper guidance. We also know how overwhelming it can be to adapt to a new environment, both professionally and personally so we are here to simplify the process.

No, we are a completely free service for teachers.

Applying for jobs through ConnectUS gives you access to exclusive job opportunities, expert industry insights and support throughout the interview and visa stage as well as during your time in the U.S. We work directly with schools who are familiar and interested in hiring teachers through visa programs.

Unfortunately subbing is not permitted on the J-1 visa program. Visas are only granted to those offered a full-time teaching position with a minimum of 32 hours per week and a start date at the beginning of the academic year or in the new year (January).

Of course! We also place U.S citizens and permanent residents. Teachers in this category have a lot more flexibility with the types of roles they can interview for and their start date.
