ev1lchris Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I've been applying and even had an interview with an agency. However, nothing is really happening. Have the school started yet? I notice that some do not even start until June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change your name to Chrisinsertyearofbirthhere and you'll be laughing, apparently. It's still early, what will happen is in a week or so schools will start realising they don't have staff and panic. Apply to every agency and every job and take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2here Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) I think that you're still in the running, but naturally time is not your asset here. My advice is, and was told to me initially, think of your full-time job right now, being looking for a job. So, you should be spending the vast majority of your day looking - being on the phone, stopping by (prepared, dressed and with documents in hand). I hope and trust you are. I'm not passing judgment on you or your case, only that what I've found (and when I was I was younger, I too was guilty) to be somewhat common is that a job-seeker really truly isn't putting in the effort that is needed. If you haven't already, I'd be hitting the job boards hard and making several in-person visits per day. As I know it, many schools will be staring up again in about 4 to 6 or maybe as much as 8 weeks out; therefore the staff (administration and teaching faculty) will be returning shortly. I can say that in my time here, I have quite literally walked into several very lucrative opportunities by simply being the right person *and* being there at the right time. Best of luck.

Usually we on TV are very forgiving for grammar and punctuation mistakes, but if this is an example of the quality of your work, I'd look for a different career.

sanukjim Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The only qualifications are,White face,utters some English,and willing to accept a low salary.Lately several of the schools have been trying to hire South Africans as they will accept a very low salary undercutting those already here..

aidenai Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 No job at the end of April means no job at all. OBEC schools go in session around 16 May 2016. New teachers to Thailand need these two weeks to sort out their work permits. Guess OP isn't qualified enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site is full of grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes, its only a sight for fun, nothing more. I would imagine most people can not be bothered pointing out such trivialities, get a life.

chowny77 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 There is still time as most schools will not start until the 16th of May. Some teachers will quit within the first few days or weeks of the new semester, so keep plugging away if you really do want to find a job. Hopefully you have enough cash and time on your visa to see you though until you do find a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHTel Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 "Have the school started yet?" My god, you missed an 's' off 'school'. Beat yourself up within an inch of your life.

GanDoonToonPet Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Have the school started yet? I notice that some do not even start until June. Most school (sic) in Thailand begin semester 1 during May. Most international schools 'start' during September. Knowing which area of Thailand in which you are looking to work would be a help but I don't think you're even in the right country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how standards have plummeted... Or is that plummeted...?? Oh look, spell checker did it for me...lucky me. So Johnny, your response to getting 1 out of 10 for your English essay? Well sir, I read on TVF that teachers shouldn't care about getting little things right, like grammar, spelling, and that s%&t, so why should I? So chill dude, and give me 10 outta 10.Professional and qualified teachers should ouze forth what their profession demands, even when relaxing here in jolly TVF.

puukao Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 If you are passionate about teaching English, you will be fine. Unless you say loose instead lose and your instead of you're (when applicable). this is like a chat room; quick comments and blah blah blah.... nonetheless, if typing in a teaching forum, then maybe, just maybe, worry about grammer. red line? grammar!!!! i loose.....
