I am job hunting and I really want to work as an ESL teacher, but here in the United States. I live near Atlanta which has a lot of ESL schools and non-English speakers. I have a TEFL certificate and abroad experience. Any tips?

Is it appropriate to call the school after sending your resume (to a posted job, from CareerBuilder or Craigslist etc.) and ask if they received it. Is that annoying or do you think it helps you stand out as a candidate?
