Searching for a job starting May1,2010

Hello Everybody,

I have registered on vairous websites for ESL Teachers and posted my resume, but there were not a lot of responses made yet.
I have a specific schedule that I am available to work on: May1 to August 30th, 2010. Does anyone have a suggestion on which websites are better to look at or what strategies should I use to get a job offer? I am looking at China, Korea, or Japan.

Thanks,

Aigerim

any suggestions will be helpful

Dave's ESL Cafe!
And this website, under job postings

Hi Aigerim,

I'm in China and could help you with positions here.

We have many jobs in China available. With or without a degree. The key is to go through one of our offices since going directly to an individual may or may not be the best idea. Contact either toronto@globaltesol.com or academic@globaltesol.com. One of the websites which many people from Toronto obtain jobs is seriousteachers.com.

Also, for anyone holding a degree, we have jobs in the Shanghai public school system which requires teachers to teach for only 15 hours per week. Send your resume and Picture to toronto@globaltesol.com and we will evaluate and forward to the Shanghai hiring office. Jobs may be had for one semester or for one week. We have 16 teachers currently teaching there. Best regards.

Hi Shelly, I know I wasn't the initiator in this forum, but I myself am looking for positions in China - specifically in Beijing, and I'm kind of down on luck on securing anything. So I was wondering if you'd be able to help me out, too.
If I have your consent, I can email you my information and such as well.
Thanks,
Karen

Hi Aigerim

from my experience I think schools are working on a 30 day cycle. I started applying on websites from March and said I was available from late July. I was getting lots of email responses and phone calls from Korea/China, but when I kept telling them late july it seems like they put me at the bottom of the pile and things went no further.

use ESLcafe and seriousteachers.com but only when you are closer to your 30 day time period instead of giving them a vague timeline like i was.

also www.anesl.com is good for china positions too

Hi Karen,

I may be able to help you. I am in Changchun, which is close too Beijing but the company who brought me where was wonderful and I think they have connections in Beijing too since we always went there.

I also have schools here in Changchun that are looking for teachers and can make sure you are taken care of. Either way, give me a shout!

I know what it's like to go through the pains of finding a job overseas.
