Teaching in Thailand - English Teaching Jobs

Job Search

There are various alternatives available while looking for a job. It is best to go to Thailand and start searching. In Bangkok, the A.U.A. Language Center and Siam Square, where ECC and the British Council are located are good places to start hunting. Prestigious schools like the International School may recruit from overseas. Word of mouth is the best way to gather information about available positions. Guesthouses and restaurants in tourist areas for instance, Khao San Road frequently have job postings on their bulletin boards. The classifieds in English-language publications-The Nation and The Bangkok Post have ads for teaching and private tutoring. You can even walk into Thai or commercial schools and fix up an appointment for an interview. You must carry your C.V., a copy of your college diploma, and a copy of your passport. The Thai academic calendar year will come in handy. The Thai school year runs from June to mid-March, with a summer recess until the end of May or beginning of June and a half-year break during October. Personal visiting cards providing all the contact information can be cheaply printed if you have an established place to reside. Placement agencies are also helpful.
