There was a time where I happened to view a beautiful photo of a place located somewhere in Australia. I said to myself “ what a nice place it is; how I wish I am in this place”. Most often, we like to have something others have; specially, if it is a good thing. As the old maxim goes “ The grass seems greener on the other side of the fence”. But is it always greener? Let’s talk about the profession of a Filipino English teacher. Well, getting a job as an English teacher in other countries is not easy.. However, it’s worth it, in some cases. If you have the experience of teaching English in either Thailand or China, You might agree with me that it is not very easy to get a job quickly; It is a mixture of credentials, personality and luck. If you are eyeing for that particular profession ( teaching English Abroad ) You have to prepare yourself by building your credentials and personality. Luck is beyond your control. You can ask God to assist you instead of nailing your hope in the hands of “luck”. I remember a true incident in thailand, where a number of would be teachers lined up for an interview, when an applicant from the United states appeared infront of a lady interviewer, the latter got mesmerized by his handsome appearance. He got the job without hassle. Another incident happened in the life of a man, almost 50 years of age, and not gifted with an appearance fit to be an actor; nevertheless, with a stroke of luck, he got accepted as a teacher , a permanent substitute of the one who just left. If you sometimes entertain the idea of teaching English abroad, then I can give you tips. Thanks for reading.
