Working in Phuket - Options

[Maroon Watcher]

Presently teaching - I can teach any subject except Kindergarten.

I know Phuket gets bad press but I'm only here for the weather

(Dinner on a beach and cold one or 3...)

[stevehaigh]

if you are only here for the weather, i'd find somewhere else. the next couple of months are going to be brutal, hot and dry

[NamKangMan]

Are you a qualified teacher, with a university degree in education, or an English techer with a 1 month TESOL/TEFL Course certificate?

[robertthebruce]

Come give ''Phuket'' a try, if you dont like it , you can always move somewhere else..

It works for me..

Yeah January was a bit cold and a couple of months of "too hot" is allowed.

The Philippine pay is even lower!

Phuket is expensive and unless you have a decent teaching position here, living on a shoestring here doesn't sound like fun to me.

Maybe start training in a marketable internet skill.

[Maroon Watcher]

...and any suggestions for emloyment sites or contacts/ good places to work?

Even a responsible agent (?)

Crazy - but I wrote (with Resume only) to a few Universities/colleges before I came to Thailand -
I got one reply! ("No vacancies")

[Maroon Watcher]

I have "other income" but so far me and the wife get by easily on 35K THB,
I just need the visa

I enjoy helping the kids...

O.K. best of luck, and hopefully you're teaching something other than English (?).

"Presently teaching - I can teach any subject except Kindergarten."

Really??? Well, I have news for you, kindergarten is not a subject.

Sorry to be pedantic, it's just my nature.

[Maroon Watcher]

Sure you are.

I am thankful that I can be off duty

And to spell it out... Except [any] Kindergarden.

Now do you see through the Mist?

with ur credentials apply at the international schools, Most places in Asia will not reply to emails.

you need go around.

QSI would love to have you, in fact my good friend teaches ( English and other subjects) there an is leaving after this term so they will 100% have an opening.

Go in and talk with Patrick ( the head master and American)

BUT if u dont need the $$$ am sure lots of the Thai schools would love to have you with them.

PS;i Love living here and it is NOT that expensive

Thanks for the info.

I work for a "special" school at the moment - they want me to re-sign in June...

But the students seemed hypnotized into Not learning....

I would rather use my energy in helping people who want to learn -

rather than in tying to keep me awake... (ha,ha)

I'm in Bangkok but If no offers arrive by December

I will visit then.
