First let me tell you me situation: I am currently taking care of my sick parent, so I am not employed. For the last 10 years or so, I have worked in the IT industry. However, my degree (BA) is in English and I have a TESOL minor (no certificate). I want to go teach English in Japan in the near future.
So I have a few questions for you:
- What can I do with my resume? Right now, I have a lot of tech jobs listed, but if I am applying to be a teacher, won't English schools reject me? How will it look when I have one tech job after another listed?
- Any references I can get would be from former tech jobs. Won't that be inappropriate for teaching positions?
- Will I have a hard time finding teaching work, when I am competing with teachers who are not jumping into a new career field?
- What's the best way to approach potential employers, considering my situation?
