If you’re thinking about applying for an online ESL job right now, I’m not going to sugar-coat it: it’s competitive. In this video, Jerry and I talk through what actually helps your application get accepted in the current climate, and what you can do to stand out when everyone else is also applying. We focus on the key areas recruiters are looking at, so you’re not wasting time sending off the same generic application over and over. We also get into interviews—both the traditional “in person” style and the automated ones that catch a lot of people out. I share the sorts of things I’d prepare, the mistakes I see people make, and how to present yourself like a professional teacher (not just someone who wants a quick remote job). If you want a clearer plan for your application and interview prep, this chat will help you tighten everything up and feel a lot more confident going in.
