Despite the current economic crisis sweeping much of the world, there is still one job where the demand continues to increase, with no foreseeable end. That job is TEFL – Teaching English as a Foreign Language. In fact there are so many opportunities, that once you have completed an accredited TEFL certification course you can pretty much have your choice of where in the world you want to live and work as an EFL teacher.
If you choose the right TEFL provider, they can even do the legwork for you in regards to finding a teaching job for you when you complete your training. In fact, the better schools can probably guarantee you employment upon graduation from their course.
In addition to your TEFL certification you will need a resume appropriate for the job you are seeking. Again, the best TEFL schools will assist you with preparing your resume so it matches the country specific requirements where you want to teach.
Interviewing can be as simple as a brief discussion on Skype or could involve several meetings with different school management over a period of weeks, depending on where you want to work and the type of school where you will be interviewing. Again, the best TEFL schools will help you prepare for your interview based on the school location where you are applying for a job.
Visa and work permit information about the country where you want to work is also important and can be tedious and complicated if you don’t know the procedures. Again, if you have chosen the right TEFL school they will be able to assist you with all aspects of visa, work permit and other documents to legally work in your chosen country.
Finally, but perhaps most important will be negotiating your contract with your new employer. If you are not aware of the different cultural aspects of how this process you could end up on the short end of the salary/benefits stick, so to speak. Again, if you have chosen your TEFL school wisely, they can review your contracts and help you negotiate a deal that is favorable for you.
So, if you are ready for a change, now is the time – get ENROLLed in a great TEFL school and start your new career as an EFL Teacher.
