World Teaching Jobs/ Worldwide Teacher Jobs
There are many opportunities worldwide for someone with a teaching degree in a practical academic subject beyond just aspiring to teach English as a second language.
The wealthy people of virtually every country in the world, regardless of their language, have private schools that they send their children to in order to learn English and learn academic subjects in English so that they can send them to an American, Australian, British or Canadian university where they can get a head up on life.
This is the dream of every middle class family person and above everywhere in the world, get their children educated in English.
Beyond that, there are Christian schools and schools for the children of American corporate employees and schools for first world nation English expats living and working in foreign countries.
Even in a remote place such as Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand, I read on the U.S. Department of State website, state.gov, that there are 10,000 Americans living there and most people on the street in America have never heard of the place.
Teaching staff are recruited by the embassies
of many countries in Washington, Ottawa and London. As a teacher, you can examine embassy websites and send theie education office letters or emails asking if they hire teachers for their schools.
You can also write to a country's Ministry of Education asking about a teaching job.
The opportunities are there. Obviously, it's not a good idea to try to get an international teaching job fresh out of teacher's college. Prove yourself by working locally for two years then simply write to the embassies of the countries you're interested or go to their websites.
Your best bets for employment are math, science and computer science. Tell them you've got two years experience teaching your subject and you'd like to teach in their country, if possible.
Ask for a list of grade schools that teach their academic subjects in English or ask if they can tell you where you can get such a list; English grade schools in country x.
When you get such a list, send personable sounding cover letters about how much you love their country (you've been there before) and that you're interested in teaching there. Send a resume and, in my opinion, send a midsize photo which is you from the waist up, not just a close-up of your face.
If somebody is going to hire you sight unseen, you'd better send them a photo so they don't see you and decide they don't like you based on look. You can shoot a photo and get 25, 50, 100 or more printed up inexpensively. They're called prints in the photography lingo. You can even do it all on your computer with a digital camera and a good printer.
Provide an e-mail address and possibly even a website with your photo and resume on it or a website that your class developed with lots of neat stuff on it, including a picture of you and your class together.
Set up a web cam and offer to speak to them live through the internet if they want. It's simply not practical to expect you to fly somewhere at your own expense for just the possibility of a job. You have to take the initiative and offer this video-conferencing option about yourself.
Despite the fact that it's illegal in some countries to discriminate in job hiring based on look, we all know everybody does it. They have to get a good or at least neutral feeling about you based on first look in order for the working relationship to work.
You know by now that teaching is not glamorous work. You will be in a classroom all day. The biggest thing you will notice is that the children in virtually all non-first world nations are much more respectful of elders than our pop culture brainwashed kids here.
In that sense, teaching overseas can be good but it is a different culture and if you're single and somewhat introverted, you might feel alienated but then again, if you're in the least bit sociable, you will probably end up marrying a local. They like foreigners from the west and by virtue of teaching in a private school, you will be exposed to the wealthier people in the area, even if their definition of wealthy is someone with a two bedroom hut and an old car.
With a teaching degree, you can do nonteaching
jobs with nonprofit organizations.
