Yes, you'll find work, although you didn't specify which country in the region. However, an unrelated master's degree and Asian experience isn't likely to get you into what you refer to as a mid-level TEFL job. Plus, some employers are requiring teachers hold a related degree. |

I'd love to teach in the Middle East one day. Not just for the high salaries, but also because I'm interested in the region.
I've read endlessly that unless you have an MA Applied Linguistics (which I don't), there are very few job opportunities there. But I've also read that writing skills are weak in the ME and that the Universities/Schools like teachers who can teach writing. |
I suppose it depends, but I have a Masters in Writing and I've had no trouble getting work. Apply, see what happens. I'd say your CELTA will get you here, overall.
Good luck!
