Hi Everyone,

I was doing well at an international school in China; but, there are rumors it will shut down.

I still will receive a great letter of reference, my students liked me, and I saved money. But, I could use a new position.

I never liked ESL. My degree was in history and I am a pretty good history/social studies teacher.

Can anyone recommend places to look for a good recruiter?

Even though I don't value my Ivy League education any more than another school, it seems to sell well in status conscious populations (like China and Korea). I also can offer a lot of good admissions success, as I've taken ten students on over the years, each has gotten into universities of their choice.

I've always suspected you weren't into TEFL. Anyway, check out Teach Away, Serious Teachers, Footprints, and International Schools Review. However, for the better jobs, forget about banking solely on your pedigree diploma. You'd need to be licensed (from the US) relevant to your degree major and have a couple of years of US teaching experience under your belt before heading to schools abroad.
