Looking for a Tefl job but no degree

[lovetoteach]

Hi,
I have recently completed my 120 hour Tefl and was under the impression from Tefl that finding a job would be easy due o the huge demand for English teachers.

I have found in the past 2 months of applying for jobs everywhere that this NOT the case. I have this certificate plus 4 years teaching experience in London and Switzerland but alas have no degree.

I have been applying in Europe and Asia but no luck. I have a British passport, which would allow me to work in Europe .

I realize that many tefl teachers before had not degree but did get jobs but that was sometime ago and the situation was different then.

Should I keep on applying or due to the heavy recession is getting a tefl job in Europe with no degree impossible? Pls can you advise me as to what I can do in my case given the present economic climate.
Thanks
