 |
|
| I've really gotten a lot of good info from this forum in the last weeks. I am seriously considering coming to Taiwan. I lived and worked in Thailand for years. Question is: I'm 56. I have a TEFL Cert and a couple of advanced degrees. Can I get a job at one of the chains? Or am I too old?? |

Welcome Brian B,
Coaching adults would be a more likely employer for you.
A quick search of the word "age", restricting the engine to the Taiwan board netted these:
1.
2.
There are prolly more like them.
Cheers Big Ears. |

| You could likely get a job with Kojen and they will most likely have you doing adults, particularly if you are in Taipei. |

| Thanks for the replies and the links to other posts. I look younger than I am and I'm not fat. We'll see what happens. |

Hi Brian,
I'm older than you and have a job. I think your qualifications will serve you well.
