would you settle a group of lively (rowdy!) students at the beginning of class? Is this your first visit to Thailand? How will you adjust to life in another country? Have a set of questions yourself, one of which should include what visas are necessary and what the company you're applying to might be able to help you with. You are literally selling yourself in the interview, so never sell yourself short. Also, don't accept the job right at the interview. Taking a little time to think is always a good idea and will give you the opportunity to work out whether the job is right for you. Sealing the deal Below are a few bulleted points that may help you when you do finally decide on a position. The Contract Be sure you check the following before signing a contract: Does the salary you are being offered match the one on the contract. Will it be enough to cover rent and expenses? The number of hours you are expected to work and whether or not you have any holiday entitlement. The length of the contract, whether or not it is renewable and the length of the notice period. Provisions of health care and sick pay. Details for your reimbursement for travel/accommodation costs if applicable. Final Preparation Before you set off on your first TEFL adventure, make sure you have the following: A copy of your contract. The correct documentation for entry into your chosen country and your visa/work permit.
