Beginning Work In Thailand

[insideleft]

hello, i am just about to finish a celta tefl course in london...my plan is to remain in london to save a few more lovely british pounds and go to thailand in early 2006...

i have a bachelor degree in social work and a master's degree in ethics and legal studies...in addition now, i will have my celta paperwork...

i do not have any experience in teaching English as a second language, although i may have it before i go to thailand...

as stated, i was planning on arriving at the end of january...is there work available in bkk at this time? When do employers begin interviewing, and hiring?

even though my two degrees are unrelated to tefl, will they influence the kind of jobs, and salaries i can reasonabley apply for?

My master's degree was aquired with distinction, is there much work available to do research, or consultancy in areas such as aged care, drug and alcohol, hiv/aids, mental health as i have social work experience in those areas...

i have experience, from social work, in adult education, but in relation to behavioural/relationship dynamics...is this relevant to tefl?

I understand that the job must come first and an apartment second...any suggestions of cheap, reasonable conditioned accommodation until a job is aquired?

Maybe you could research the social, ethical and legal relationship with teaching and "Thai Food".

I'm afraid you might just be overqualified.

overqualified and overdone...i am not too sure about the prospects of my dreams coming true should i go and start tossing imperatives into the rice...

although, i am beginning to read into the virtues of the buddha, the siddharta buddha...and am very interested in incorporating this knowledge into my my eating ethic...

The new school year in Thailand starts in May.

I would say this thread should probably be in the Teachers forum, but they will probably think you're a troll and out to destroy their little world! Something about if you have under 500 posts....You're out to get em!
