lamcys92 - Aim high and see what happens! I am an elementary teacher with 2 years experience in my home country. I have just accepted a job at my first choice school in Thailand, one which I have heard lots of people on this board refer to as an 'elite' school. After reading posts on this board I thought wouldn't have a hope of getting a job there with my small amount of experience but I'm glad I didn't listen... If you have good qualifications and references and have shown initiative and passion in your current job then you never know. Don't be discouraged!
