Getting a job interview - part 1

The pros and cons of four different approaches

I was confident that emailing my resume and following up with a phone call was the way to go. Several days later, not a single school could locate my e-mail.

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement

Postbox letter from Old Bloke, Bangkok

I know I have it easy compared to many and have little to worry about. Yes, I could go elsewhere but I have a wife/family here so not so easy. I had a great offer from China recently, but that's a no go now due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

A journey into the over 60's TEFL graveyard

Postbox letter from John V (Thailand)
