This is a great resource, John!
Although Teaching English overseas is not at the top of my list right now, it is on the life list. The information you provide will certainly come in handy. I have to bookmark this article!
Thanks,
Karen

Great and important post, John!
So many people wonder how they can travel & this indeed is a quick and easy way. I’ve heard of several who have done it with young children too and loved it as otherwise they never would have been able to travel.
We haven’t done this and probably never will, but I see it as a great win/win option for so many longing to travel!

Awesome list – I know lots of people who have the plan to teach English but no idea how to go about it.
I have a few friends who have taught English overseas and had a great time! It was just that, a safe way for them to be in a new country, yet feeling supported as well. Not to mention the wonderful new things they learned being completely immersed in a new country. 🙂

Nice list, and good luck with your plan to leave Japan! I’m planning to leave at some point but haven’t set a date yet.
If anyone is reading this and considering teaching English abroad then go for it! Especially if you come from a country that has the working holiday visa programme.
Thanks for the comment Tim,
Yes, we made it out of Japan a year ago but I am visiting right now.
Very nice list, I agree. I’m planning to return to Japan, or perhaps to another country this time, soon. It’d admittedly be a bit easier for me to just set out to Japan again, once I’ve saved something, as my visa there is valid until 2013 and I have a re-entry stamp. All part of those pesky little official things you have to keep in mind when you go. I’d be happy to chat privately with anyone who wants to know more about how to go about it.
Thanks Ana,
It is nice to have those visa options. Did you teach in Japan?
Yep, John, I did. Sorry this is so late.
In 2010 I was 4 days into a new Tokyo job when I was hospitalized for pneumonia and the company let me go, not willing to absorb sick costs for a new employee. I had to go “home” when the money ran out: a fiftysomething woman with no home, no job, no money, no more friends’ couches, a country in decline … it can happen.
But for most it probably won’t. With a mobile business it never has to even if you choose to keep your hand in the classroom as I want to do. English teaching is still the fastest ticket out and combined with a growing location-free enterprise the world’s in your hands.
English teaching does have a sort of shelf life, though, unless you have advanced qualifications. I tell people if that’s on their minds, get to it. Opportunities dry up with age — although they’re still there. Never, ever stop looking. It’ll just take a tad longer as it is with me now. I’ll be back (I’m not sure which country this time). All three of my stints were in my maturity.
Mobile opportunities will never dry up. All the best to you.
