THINKING OF CAREER CHANGE ?
Posted: 02 Dec 2009, 13:39
Hello,
I was after some advice, I am 32 yrs old native English speaker and would love to teach English , I am currently working in the construction industry I would ideally like to find a teaching post in Jakarta, I have seen that the English First schools are looking for new teachers and have a option where they refund the cost of an I-to-I course, does anyone have any experience with either one of these company’s?
I don’t have any relevant teaching experience I am a martial arts instructor but that as far as my teaching experience goes , and I am stuck as to what I should list on my C.V , I really do want to give teaching a try , but I am concerned that the school may not take my application seriously ! I am also a little worried about my regional accent, would this hinder my ability to teach or find work?
I have lived and worked in south East Asia before, so adjusting to the culture and food (love the food!!) Shouldn’t be a problem, I also speak a little bahasa Malay/Indon, should I put this on my C.V?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
