Work, success, and meaning at every stage of your career
The first week that you started looking for a new position, hiring managers may not have even noticed that you were technically unemployed.

TEFL teachers mostly need a degree but don’t need to have any teaching specific qualifications. They also don’t have to speak the country’s language; they are being hired for their English ability after all.
