I applied a number of weeks ago to teach in Indonesia and finally got my e-mail from Gusti almost two weeks ago now. He just asked to send him the best time to contact me and so on.... However to date nothing!! Is this waiting normal?? This whole process has confused me from day one.... Didnt think it would be so slow!
I would love to hear from anyone with information about this.... Cheers

Hello, I would like to ask for some advice with regards to TEFL/ESOL teaching abroad. I have completed a TEFL certificate through i-to-i and I have also been working as a volunteer English teacher in Glasgow now for six months. I'm now planning on leaving home to pursue my teaching career overseas, but I'm anxious about having a negative experience. I've done some basic research online in order to try and ascertain some information on good and bad TEFL/ESOL schools / recruitment companies. It's starting to concern me as I've read some horror stories about how a lot of these franchise 'profit motif' schools/recruitment companies mess their employees about and basically exploit them. I've even read on some TEFL forums that i-to-i are suspect and have a bad reputation as an unscrupulous business. My question to you is, would you know of any credible or authoritative TEFL/ESOL language schools blacklist (if such a thing exists?). Or would you have any personal positive / negative experiences of your own you could enlighten me with? I would like some guidance so I have an idea of what schools to steer clear of. I've been reading conflicting positive and negative blogs from
http://teflblacklist.blogspot.com/2007/06/ef-indonesia-english-first-indonesia.html
but, this is one individual author's point of view, which to be honest, is very negative. How can I trust this as gospel? I mean what credibility does this person have? I'm confused and becoming a wee bit disheartened.
Best regards,
Andy.
Hi Nicoli,
Funnily enough I got a message this morning from another girl who's applied to teach in Indonesia with EF with this exact same problem - so you're not alone.
My best advice would be to sit tight - Gusti has a lot of schools to recruit for, but I'm sure he'll work through everyone in good time.
