 Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 4:37 am Post subject: Short term/monthly ESL jobs in Bangkok? |
 |
|
So I'll be going to Thailand from late January until May. I plan on exploring the surrounding countries while I'm there but for at least one month I'll be staying in Bangkok.
Is it possible for me to find a job teaching English for just one month? Are there any schools/companies that hire on the monthly basis? Or would I be able to set up private lessons somewhat easily? I really have no idea what's available, if anything.
I don't have any ESL experience but I have a Bachelors degree and am a native English speaker.
Thanks! |

Short answer: no
It sounds like you want to finance part of your travels. Not a good plan. |

Short answer = no.
Longer answer = Honestly, if you have to ask, "How can I work illegally?" then you probably don't have what it takes to stay out of jail while doing it.
Even longer answer = No-one will hire you for a legal position for such a short term. It takes longer than that just to process the paperwork for a "B" visa and work permit and the costs to the employer make short term, legal work cost prohibitive for an employer. Add to that the simple fact that it is the end of term for schools, so employment falls off even more until the new school year starts in May.
Can you perhaps find work (typically as a sub) under the table = maybe.
Bang on a few doors (language institutes) with resume in hand and wearing a shirt, tie and long pants. You may be able to make enough money to pay your cab fare to-from work and your lunch.
