AussieTrent Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I am looking for knowledge of the job market in International schools. I have been told you need to know someone to get these jobs. I am applying for uni next year, Bachelor of Junior Primary and Primary. I am 34, living in Australia and married to a Thai woman. I will be getting close to 40 when I enter the workforce as as educator. I am very serious about this career change and I am really excited about it. We want to move to Thailand in the future and I want to find out how to start making the right contacts early if need be. I want to know if these schools will take me on fresh out of university. I really want to work in a good school with good peers. I would like to make friends with some teachers in Thailand, some peers to look up to and get advice, help and information from. If that sounds like you give me a hoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgore Trout Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think there are many school that would, so long as you have a western teaching credential for what you are teaching. You may have to start in a bottom tier/mediocre school for a couple of years before you work your way up to a bigger one. Having done your practicum in your home country is a big advantage; use it on your resume as it is experience in a western school as well as any observations you have done etc. Good luck!
