What organization will hire me for ESL teaching in Asia with a diploma?

Question

I've been checking out some english teaching jobs in Asia but most of the companies require a 4 year bachelor. I currently have a 2 year diploma. Are there any places that will hire me with that?

Answer 1

It's not a matter of a company that will hire you, it's more of a legal matter.  The question should be 'What country in Asia will hire me with a 2 year diploma (legally)?'

Korea is a no.  But you can take up privates, but not recommended.

Japan... not recommended, it is pricey and competition is very high.

Thailand... You can do it but the laws are changing, sooner is probably better than later, next year some nasty laws may come to be.

China... I think that is your best bet, however, visa laws for the summer games are very tight, you may want to wait a few more weeks on that one.

Taiwan... I am not 100%, but I think you may be able to find a job, but they prefer a degree.  

Vietnam... you will need to research.

Other countries that are not said are probably yes, but the pay is low and working conditions are not too hot.  You probably have to be in the country to find the job too.

My advice is to put your name out on http://eslcafe.com and see what reaction you get.  Do not take the first job, take your time and try to find the best place.

Good Luck
