Are you looking for an academy? Then ask to speak to a couple of the FTs that work there (assuming you are applying from abroad.)

As long as you have a degree there is no shortage of employment.
If you have a degree and TESOL cert then it is even easier.
Degree and CELTA = pick and choose.
B.Ed / PGCE then the country is your oyster.

IF you do NOT have a degree then it is an uphill battle (usually working illegally on a tourist visa) and will be hit and miss and very hard to find employment with a "B" visa and work permit.

If you are looking for a job to start in May (Thai academic calendar) or September (most international schools' calendar) then YES.
