Water rat, you might consider better defining where EFL teachers should vote, since they are not mentioned. As it is, some may choose "English teacher other than ESL," while most may select the first category of "ESL teacher" as the best fit.

ESL, EFL. I know the difference, but it doesn't concern me much. I think of my work as ESL. All you EFL teachers, please just click on one of the ESL boxes. We'll know what you mean. This is all just in good fun, you know. |

Obviously, job seekers with relevant academic and TESOL credentials as well as a few years of experience have the most opportunities available to them worldwide. |
And you can have UAE. I dislike dry, hot, flat, Islamic countries, or rather NOT a country but some emirates which are united somehow, and Arab. |
Is this poll all about your personal likes and dislikes, or can others with points of view that differ from yours participate? |

The poll is about occupations not likes or dislikes. In my posts I am expressing my own (light-hearted, possibly amusing) opinions. I'm allowed to do that. |
