Teaching in Thailand is a great job. I am really enjoying it and I feel I am suited for the job. Therefore when I was told I did not have a job at the school I am currently teaching at next semester I started on the search for a new school.
Life in Chachoengsao is also good so my first preference is to stay in the city. It is difficult though to know how to get a job. The first attempt to get a job was to visit the schools and personnally deliver my resume. My friend Tim is also looking for a job next semester so the two of us with my girlfriend Prang visited the schools of Chachoengsao to try and get a job.
If it was the students hiring teachers Tim and I would have been giving a job at the first school we visited. One of the students spoke in Thai and Prang translated for us. The student said '"I am in secondary six although if you are teaching next semester I repeat the year."
The second school we visited told Tim and I they only employ British and American staff. Although the teacher said maybe next semester they will only employ British, American and Australian staff. I am still a little confused as to why some schools do not employ Australian staff.
At the end of the day I did not have a job but at least I felt I was getting somewhere and hopefully something comes up soon. Neither Tim or I got offered a job on the day although Prang who already has a secured job was offered a job.
