I've got 5 years experience (3 at universitiy/college level), I'm finishing off a MA in TESOL, and thinking of heading out to Dubai to teach. I am a dual national, with a mainly British accent, tinged with with a bit of Aussie.

Each country I've taught in seems to have a preference for certain nationalities over others. Which of my nationalities is looked on more favourably (job-wise) in the Emirates?

Either should suit just fine for getting a claw in the door, so to speak ...

But ... I'm not sure any nationality will help you at the interview ... if times were normal they might just consider allowing into their ranks an enormous yellow bird ... but in the present bird-flu climate, they'd probably be too worried about medical clearance Laughing
