asking help - non-native teacher

[gfell]

So many non-native English teachers are trying to apply for teaching jobs, but it's really difficult. Only real way to know is go to the country and start applying. Expect the worse though, that way you wont be let down too much.

Yeah, it's going to be kinda hard for any non-native speakers, whether white or not. The fact that folks from the Philippines look more Asian than anything else mightn't help much either, but as others here have said, don't let it inhibit you, or prohibit you, from trying.

I know that when I worked in Jilin province, PRC, there were heaps of Filipinos there and, although they didn't earn much locally, it was good enough for some of them to buy land back home etc. Be careful of the rascals in that province though, they'll not pay too well, will cheat you and are generally, not nice to work for....my experience anyway but I guess they're some good ones up there also!

Good luck!
My 2 cents worth.

Once you pass that test the doors open to teach abroad. Without it you dont stand much of a chance. You still need the other qualifactions for the country you wish to teach in but Toeic is the most important one.

I wish you luck
