Job Market
Job Market
Does anyone have any idea how the 2011-2012 job market will look in the world of international teaching?
Keep in mind that by asking this question, you're going to be getting extremely subjective answers.
My two cents: there are always plenty of job openings, but for myself when recruiting, the question has always been, "Are there good job openings?" By good I mean schools that teachers want to teach at because they are professional organizations that treat teachers well, and value education. This is my eleventh year abroad, and in my own opinion there are few great schools out there, several that are good, and far too many that are just plain bad.
My conclusion: the job market will have many jobs, just not that many good jobs.
