Finding Your First EFL Teaching Job

The demand for EFL teachers worldwide is so great that you will find it surprisingly easy to land your first job offer.  BUT - take your time, find the right position and make sure you will be happy.

If you are interested trying your hand at teaching English overseas - but don't yet want to commit to a one-year contract, go over to TEFL Temp where information about short-term TEFL positions is posted.    Some are as short four months and even include airfare and training.  Hard to beat that!

Just about everything you could ever want to know about finding your first position Teaching English Overseas - and just about everything else about living and working in another country - can be found at our companion website: TEFL Daddy.

Whether thinking about a two-year "lark" teaching overseas - or if you would like TEFL to offer you a long-term career - give the website a good read.  No, it doesn't really have all the answers, because the answers are as individual as each person thinking of entering the field.  Your needs, interests, skills, and goals are unique.  But, TEFL Daddy can at least help you address each issue and get on the road to finding exactly what might fit you best.

TEFL Daddy was written by a former Peace Corps Volunteer (Botswana 89-91) who designed the site with the complete "Newbie" in mind - and answers just about every question you might have about Teaching English Overseas.  From country selection, paying student loads, insurance, how to deal with aging parents, to visas and contracts - and even investment from overseas - you can find it all at:

TEFL Daddy

Once you land that first job - put what you have learned on this website to work!
