So I got a letter from Interac saying that they're not inviting me to any interviews...   Basically, the only reason why I went about trying to get a TEFL certificate in i-to-i has just turned around and told me they don't want me.   What do I do now? I don't know if I'm able to finish the TEFL course, if the Interac company just turned my application down. I'm up a creek without...
