As someone actively seeking work overseas, I found this book very useful. The author's main goal is to ensure that you are first qualified to teach overseas, both in terms of your degrees and general mindset and then provide information about the atmosphere and potential for work in several different countries. The book includes overviews of the working scenes in China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Chile. This is quite a spread and the author gives interesting facts and perspectives that have helped me determine where I definitely do not want to go (being able to rule places out is invaluable!)It's also great that the author covers contract negotiations, housing and various aspects of how much teachers get visas, get paid, get health insurance and deal with employers.Overall, the book is well-written, focused and packed with information and links that I have been able to take action on straight away. The book also has a link to where you can get a free course, so I've signed up to get started with full confidence that the author's knowledge will take me where I would like to go: around the world.
