The dynamics of finding a good teaching job in Thailand are pretty simple. The problem is, some people can't accept that qualifications do in fact matter. Hence you see some folks asking the dishonest and deluded question, "what is a qualified teacher?"

If you don't have qualifications, you take your chances. Why and how should it be any different?

Those with no degree, no experience, no bono-fido teaching credentials can still get jobs here. But the mind boggles regarding why anyone in such a position thinks they deserve more than 30K, and it's funny to watch them blame god and man for their predicament.

Lots of morons on ajarn regularly asking "I'm not sure that I can face another year in education or a year teaching in the UK, but should I do a PGCE before I flee back to Thailand?"

99% of "teachers" in Thailand never ever taught elsewhere Smeg.

You and I know that for a fact matey.

Thanks for the post, shall have a gander

Jesus Jones · 22-11-2008, 05:08 PM

good site.

Camel Toe · 24-11-2008, 10:20 PM

Maybe ajs and aj.com are the same. If ajs was coping and pasting bkkphil's jobs wouldn't he be court-bound and on Thai teacher boards with a fever that would make Bruce look like a sloth?

Unlikely, as Bangkok Phil doesn't have a work permit to run ajarn, and running an advertising business is banned for foreigners under the FBA.

I think your jumping to conclusions a bit quick there, if i was going to set up a job site regardless of the job I would just go to sites that had jobs advertised and then contact the companies about putting them on my site, aint nought illegal or immoral about that.

The Fish · 24-11-2008, 10:33 PM

that is right dd but i know a teacher who put an ad on ajarn.com and started to get replies by e-mail from teachers saying they had found his job on ajarnjobspace.com

he took a look on the web site and they had even copied and pasted a lot of things off this teachers school's website.

he did not do anything cos at the end of the day it helped him get new teachers

dirtydog · 24-11-2008, 10:35 PM

Just goes to show that ajarnjobspace is doing what it claims to do, getting those vacancies filled

The Fish · 24-11-2008, 10:37 PM

yes it was about time another teaching site based in thailand came along

Not even in Japan, Korea or Taiwan?

Well, if you say it's a 'Fact'.

NickA · 25-11-2008, 03:17 AM

Which means that there is a 0.01% chance that 1% of all teachers in Thailand have taught elsewhere, doesn't it?

Not a single job over 100k? thats shite. Some TEFL'r who lives near me survives on 40k. Runs out a week before and borrows money to spend till the next payday. How can one do that to oneself?
