Hi everyone.
I am interested in teaching english overseas.

My Background
I am Taiwanese by birth, however I moved to Vanuatu when I was 5yo.
I went to an english speaking school there. I must admit that my first language was chinese though.

When I was 12 I came to Australia to study. I have a Bachelors degree in Info Tech. Now I am an Australian citizen and have an Australian and Taiwan passport.

My question is - What do I need to do next? I am looking to doing the i-to-i online course. Is there anything else that I can do to improve my chances in getting a teaching job?
I am interested in going to either Japan or China. Taiwan is out of the question since I would have to do the compulsory military service. I guess I would qualify as not being a native english speaker, right?
