The number of teaching jobs that are available around the world seldom dips. There are always good jobs out there. The secret though is to be flexible. And, if you think you might like to try teaching in a certain country, here are some things you can do:
- read up about that country
- talk with someone who comes from that country. You can find people through an embassy, consulate or local community association.
- see if you can find someone who has or is teaching there.
- email some schools and see what feedback you get from them. See waht they are offering. Some things you can ask for include: settling in allowance, return airfare, contract completion bonus, free internet, meals, housing allowance, language lessons and medical insurance.
Once you've done these things, you will probably get a good feel for the country and its people. Now, here are the jobs this week. Remember, these are from only once source:
Belgium[1], Bhutan[1], Bolivia[1], China[39], Costa Rica[1], Czech Republic[1], Estonia[1], Georgia[1], Germany[3], Greece[2], Hong Kong[3], Indonesia[5], Iraq[1], Italy[12], Japan[4], Kazakhstan[4], Kyrgyzstan[1], Malaysia[3], Malta[1], Oman[3], Poland[3], Portugal[1], Qatar[1], Russian Federation[12], Saudi Arabia[7], Singapore[1], Slovakia[3], South Korea[8], Spain[23], Taiwan[1], Thailand[4], Turkey[4], Ukraine[2], United Arab Emirates[1], United Kingdom[157], United States[2], Vietnam[8], Worldwide[16]
Jobs in Europe or North America are harder to get. Be willing to go where the jobs are and you will land a job quickly. It is nice to feel wanted and needed! All it usually takes is a degree and a TESOL certificate.

Where would you like to teach?
Below is the latest list of ESL teaching jobs on offer. Bear in mind that this is from only one source but it will give you a good idea of the wide range of possibilities.
Current Database Status (country/jobs):
Afghanistan[1], Algeria[1], Bolivia[1], China[36], Czech Republic[1], France[2], Germany[2], Greece[1], Hong Kong[1], Indonesia[9], Italy[8], Japan[5], Kazakhstan[3], Kuwait[2], Kyrgyzstan[1], Latvia[1], Malaysia[4], Oman[1], Poland[5], Portugal[2], Romania[1], Russian Federation[10], Saudi Arabia[8], Slovakia[1], South Korea[8], Spain[12], Thailand[3], Turkey[5], Ukraine[2], United Arab Emirates[1], United Kingdom[142], United States[1], Vietnam[7], Worldwide[13]
Where it says China [36], for example, you can easily multiply that number by 10 or 20. Same with South Korea. The main thing to keep in mind when considering working in a foreign country is that it is just that - a foreign country and foreign culture. You may not always agree with how things work there so you have to be prepared to 'go with the flow' if you want to survive and enjoy your stay.
The first year can either be a totally delightful learning experience or a nightmarish experience you'd just as soon forget. Most often it's the former and the sooner you meet new people, make friends and learn about the culture, the easier your transition will be.
With a university degree and a TESOL Certificate, you can start applying to teach overseas immediately - and be prepared to move quickly. Many schools URGENTLY need teachers and they may want you there yesterday! Do a little research first and see what you can find about the school.
