twschw Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It is an odd time to be job hunting. The new term has just started and I would imagine that most schools are fully staffed at the moment. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My guess is that you will have to 'beat the pavement' a little right now. Most likely there are jobs, but schools won't be advertising as readily and there will be candidates. I know where I work, if we don't have a farang teacher quite often we put a Filipino in until one comes walking through the door. Hopefully if anyone knows of an opening, they will let you know. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizzi39 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi,so when are schools hiring teachers, what are the best periods? Well if you are looking at Govt. schools the best time would be before the next term which typically starts in May. January-February is usually a good time, since most schools already know whose contracts are going to be resigned and who is going to be let go. Good luck!

Sorry, I am out of options. Maybe try some "mom and pop" language schools. Bangkok is flooded with them. "The Mall" at Ramkhumhang used to have 3-4 independently run language centers on the second floor. Edited November 6, 2009 by mizzi39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeinthailand Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 In my experience it is better to "hit the pavement" when looking for jobs in language centers. ECC and Inglinua hire most of their teachers this way. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
