Looking for a job now adays is really a big challenge. You have to consider so many things. Your educational background, experiences, and a lot more.
I am currently employed but still looking for a better job. Everyone who is reading this blog can relate to my situation "thinking the best for my family" is the inspiration that I have to continue in reaching my goals in life.
I am 28 years old, a licesnsed teacher, was able to work in international school, was able to work in BPO industry talking to Americans and Australians for more than 2 years, and currently working as home-based Online English teacher for Chinese students. But mentioning all those working experiences, getting a better job is still a "big challenge " for me.
I would like to work in China as English teacher, hearing news that it would give me a better salary. I told it to my husband during lunch, discussed to him the possible benefits in teaching in China, then he said "Go!" Deep inside I felt bad about it, he said the word without hesitaions that I am leaving him with our two kids an 8 year old girl and a 5 months baby boy.
Until now, while I am doing this blog, I feel bad about his reaction, though I understand that all he wanted is a better life for our family. I am a gradutae student, licensed teacher but still not enough to have a job having a better salary that can provide my family.
well, teaching in other country wouldn't be easy, aside from the fact that you need to have all the knowlegde, certificates is a plus! which will costs you also money which most people don't have..
well, that's life, wasn't easy, you have to deal with it.. :-)

Yeah I know. The pay isn't great. Especially when you factor in the hours. The average hours a week at these companies is 40 hours. That means that you are on less than 100 an hour. There are better paid teaching jobs out there.
