Hi everyone.
I thought I would post a quick introduction.
I have been reading the forum for a while and thought I would register so that I can post a few qustions.
I am thinking of leaving my current in the UK job and training to be an EFL teacher. I would like to teach overseas, maybe in Korea or elsewhere in Asia.
Look forward to chatting with you! |

Have a back-up plan in case things don't work out. Here, the gov't public school jobs are making it a habit of hiring people, getting them their visa stamp, and promptly canceling the job 2 days before they come over. People have found themselves pre-paying their own plane ticket with the expectation of being reimbursed, only to find they have no job and must still pay the ticket and/or cancellation fees.

They say they're doing it because too many teachers cancel on them, so the tit-for-tat is OK. |

Welcome. 
When I read your subject line ... I suddenly felt as if were
at an AA meeting. (NO offense intended by that) |

Only as the proverbial fly. You can call it as you'd like, but "stint" sounds
harsh to me. |

There's no common negative connotation associated with the word stint. It's a term meaning a period of time--nothing positive or negative.
