Take whatever job comes first
In the "Teachers in Thailand" groups I'm part of, there's a consensus not to settle for anything below 40K when it comes to salary. While I agree with this sentiment, putting it into practice is no walk in the park. Back in my college days in America, a friend made a compelling argument about landing your first job after graduation. His advice was simple yet profound: "Take whatever comes first, then be selective." This philosophy resonates deeply, especially in the realm of TEFL jobs, and particularly if you're applying from abroad.
But what if the job turns out to be a dud? Well, so what? Why fuss too much? Most jobs come with a 60-day probationary period, not so much for you to prove yourself to the school, but for the school to showcase its merits to you. If things don't pan out during this time, you're free to move on swiftly. Just ensure you're wise about it and secure another job before bidding adieu to your current one.
