(Anonymous) 2013-08-31 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)Here's what I can tell you to start you off:
1.) You have a teaching certificate. This makes you a valuable commodity in the ESL market, and you will have more jobs open to you. If you want to go teach in Korea, you can get in at a public high school, which is much preferable to working in a private one; you'll have fewer hours, always get paid on time, and just generally have a better experience.
2.) It wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a TEFL cert, but because you have a teaching cert already, you could do one of the online courses and not have it affect you. Many people tell you to avoid the online certs because you don't get any classroom experience, but you already have that! In your situation, an online one would be fine.
3.) Korea is one of the better paying gigs right now, because the cost of living in the country is lower than it is in Japan. That said, if you want to go to Korea, I'd advise insisting on being placed in Seoul. I spent two years in a rural backwater and found it very lonely and isolating.
4.) The best paying jobs are in the Middle East, but living here is Hard Mode for most expats, and it might not be a good place to go for your first position. That said, if you think you're up for it, the UAE is doing a massive educational restructuring right now and you might be able to get in with them.
5.) Unfortunately, your timing isn't good for the public schools: the Korean public schools have their big hiring drives in January/February for school starting in March. You could probably get in with a smaller, more rural school, but the GEPIK program (Seoul/Incheon schools) is most likely closed. Likewise, I believe the UAE drive is over for the year.
Teaching overseas is a great experience and a good way to save some cash and get experience on your resume! Good luck, anon!
OP
(Anonymous) 2013-08-31 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, I did hear that about Saudi Arabia and I am not sure I'd want to go there was a woman. Maybe after I do a couple years in another country.
Are there any other companies you recommend (other than GEPIK)?
