TEFL Tips is hosting the first ESL EFL Roadshow this month: a group of bloggers from around the world. Lots of experience, tips, and ideas to help ESL and EFL teachers out. This month's topic is job interview tips. From TEFL Newbie
Most people approach TEFL interviews the same way they would an interview back in their home country. Two problems with that. First, many of us are hoping to escape that uncomfortable and degrading process in a new world overseas. Second, more often than not your interviewer is not from that Western world and has distinctly different ideas about who they want to hire and why. Here's how to win that job! Find out by reading Ted's blog TEFL Newbie.
Ted Tucker is a retired TEFL educator and TEFL Teacher Trainer. With an overseas career that started as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Botswana in 1989 - he has been abroad ever since working in countries throughout Asia and the Middle East. You can find him at TEFL Newbie.

Interviews can be daunting but if you're prepared and know what to expect you'll have no problem acing your interview. Don't forget to ask questions as well! Find out what questions you'll be asked and what questions you should ask the interviewer by reading TEFL Tips.
Sharon de Hinojosa is your host here at TEFL Tips. I've been teaching English since early 2003. I got started posting on Dave’s ESL Cafe shortly after and found myself regularly helping out other people and giving advice to newbies. Over time, things progressed and I thought it would be a good idea to compile answers to FAQ that newbies often have about TEFLing and that’s how my wonderful TEFL Tips got started.

ReplyDeleteHi Friends,
ReplyDeleteA job interview is your chance to make a positive impression, gain the interest and confidence of your interviewer and end up with an offer. I hope that it eventually proves easier for you the reader to follow the postings and comments.
The first step for us to get our success in our career is to be successful in job interview
ReplyDeleteProbably before that is to have a good CV.
