That is the purpose of a Blacklist it helps people new to the field of teaching in that they can check out theses companies or school, also new teachers can check out the whitelist thats the option , and i am sorry if anyone as an objection to that (Ross)

One thing i dont like is being Faceless, maybe not out right but the effort of trying to cover up doesn't work.

What is Greylisting?

Greylisting is a method of letting others know about different schools or companies who are not keeping up their end of the contracts.
Greylisting is the ultimate sanction available to new teachers entering the teaching field as per new job.
and is only ever used where a university or college refuses to engage in meaningful job relationships with it's teachers,
And have the schools or companies engage in meaningful negotiations, also to remove the threat of pay deductions
provide clean and liveable apartments with all or most of the daily or life's needs of a foreign teacher.
What is the growing awareness amongst some internat- ional educators there are many different dimensions, academically, physically, spiritually and socially. new teachers want to know what they are letting themselves in for when they are accepting a contract from some school or company, One of the great advantages of this approach to education is that, in the very fabric of everyday school life, Teachers are naturally exposed to many different cultures, promoting a broad-minded spirit of multicultural interest and acceptance. I encourages new or other teachers to reflect on the divisions which characterise so many of the unversities and schools with problems to find values which see a common humanity behind the diversity. One of the great advantages of an international education is that you can create an environment in which young people from different cultures, nationalities and languages are brought together in one place. Students can learn a range of languages and become truly multilingual, but the English teachers need certain schools and companies to keep up their end.

Knowing your rights and finding a good school

One of the most valuable sites for teachers looking to understand their rights is www.efl-law.org There are a number of things you should look for before signing a contract. EFL-Law.com has a very comprehensive guide to contract information at www.efl-law.com/contracts.html There is also a very useful FAQ , a discussion forum, and a lot more valuable information on that site for teachers.

What Teachers Should Know before Accepting a Job in Korea

This is advice for E2 and E1 Visa holders. Most of the rules/advise listed here does not apply to F1-2, F4, F5, E5, E7 or other visa holders. For further information about your visa limitations, always inquire at your local Immigration Office before starting a new job.

1. It is illegal to work without a proper visa.
You must have the visa sticker in your passport before you can start work- without exception. If your employer asks you to work before you have your visa sticker, refuse. Insist on getting your visa before you teach your first class or you are working illegally.

2. Your visa is associated with ONE location.
If your employer asks you to work at more than one physical school, you need to get Immigration permission and apply for a secondary workplace permit. EPIK and GEPIK are exceptions. EPIK employees can legally work in multiple locations without Immigration permission.

3. Working "Privates" or "Part-Time Jobs" without Immigration permission is illegal.
Working in a second registered business place is possible (a secondary workplace) if you have permission from Immigration. However, working "privates", or tutoring at a non-business, is illegal.

4. You need Immigration permission to work at a camp outside of your primary workplace. It will either be registered as a secondary workplace (if you currently hold an E1-2) or you may be eligible for a Temporary Employment visa. Inquire at your local immigration office before teaching at a camp to ensure your legality.

Guidelines for resumes

Resumes should be prepared in a simple straightforward style that avoids abbreviations and acronyms. Likewise, in an interview setting, applicants need to speak clear Standard English - free of slang, jargon and regionalisms. Prospective employers are often imperfect English speakers and may not understand the idiosyncrasies of your speech. A teacher's language correctness and ability to communicate are often judged during an interview.

Resumes should emphasize your teaching experience, education, knowledge of other languages, international experience and general people skills, while minimizing coverage of unrelated employment or academic awards. It is best to bring documentation for all degrees and certificates to an interview because decisions are often made quickly. Take a few extra copies of your resume with you overseas in case you do not have access to word processing facilities. If you are asked to provide a photograph of yourself, do not forget to include a clear and recent image.

When sending your application to a prospective employer by e-mail, cut and paste your resume directly into the body of the message, as opposed to submitting it as an attachment. Pay attention to any geographic restrictions stipulated such as “must reside in Japan” before applying for to job postings. Bear in mind that some employers may require that application materials be sent by registered mail. Reply promptly when contacted by an institution. Remember to consider time zone differences if you try and reach a prospective employer by telephone.

Projecting a professional image is also essential. This includes being neat and well dressed. Semiformal apparel for men and women is ideal. Many regions of the world have stricter conventions regarding dress and manners than you might be accustomed to in Canada.

Your vision and professionalism should be unmatched and your genuine care for the success of ur teaching career will be greatly appreciated by ur employers and the schools in which you will teach.

Are there any teaching jobs available to those without a TEFL certification? It is, of course, still possible to find an EFL/ESL teaching job without a certificate. However, such jobs may offer lower pay and fewer opportunities for advancement. If you plan to teach for more than a year or two, or simply wish to be a better teacher, certification is a good investment of time and money. I urge anyone to get a
TESOL diploma and their certification programs they will bring you great opportunities for jobs and much higher pay with greater advancement in the feild of teaching English. having a degree is still not an absolute necessity in many parts of the world. Your enthusiasm, work and volunteer experience, and willingness to teach can also serve you well.

If you are considering teaching abroad, be it in South America or Southeast Asia, there are several issues to be aware of before you start your job search. With careful analysis and research, you will find yourself prepared to shop the job market and get yourself the best job possible. If you have already decided to teach English abroad, or even if you are simply considering the option, your first step should be to research the different possibilities. There are good jobs and bad ones, good companies and bad ones, and it is your responsibility to be a consumer and find out which are the good ones. Talk to people who have done what you’re hoping to do. Their firsthand knowledge can be an invaluable resource. I am sure that the people at TESOL can give u great advice call them and talk about ur options

A Job Guide for Americans and Canadians by Jeff Mohamed
