Hi, I've been travelling around the world by bicycle for the past couple of years and now would like to find work. I've noticed with interest several well-paying Winter camp jobs on the listing page and was wondering if my odds are good for landing a 3-4 week camp job.

I'm a male, 31-year-old U.S. citizen and not terribly unattractive (I've heard rumors that this matters). My FBI fingerprints were sent in a month ago.

Teaching in one of these camps (though I realize they can be stressful) might be a good way to see if ESL teaching is something that I would like to pursue in the longer term. However, I have no previous experience and I will be in SE Asia. It would be my preference not to have to fly up there for an in-person interview if the job availability is uncertain.

Please share your wisdom and opinions!

BS or BA degree, but not AS or AA degree.

waygook.org would be your best friend as far as activities and materials go.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I have a BS degree.

Thanks for the tip on Waygook...

I'm just wondering how competitive is the hiring for these intensive camps. I meet all of the minimum requirements, but as I said I have no teaching experience to speak of.

you will get more offer than you can handle if you have all your docs and properly spam the recruiters. the trick is not getting ripped off.
