Article: A graduate degree takes 2 to 3 years to complete. Although the minimum requirement to work is 4-year degree, some employers may prefer hiring an ESL teacher with a graduate degree. Having this degree will not only increase your chances of being hired, but may also bump you up into a higher pay grade once employed. Select a program that is well-respected in the field of education or teacher training. As is the case with most graduate programs, the strength of a department lies in the teaching and research strengths of its faculty members. So, be sure to research departmental webpages to know who you will be working with. Most graduate programs require students to select a faculty adviser. If this is the case with the program you select, it is wise to contact those faculty members directly to see if they will work with you and support your candidacy. You will also want to mention which faculty members you would like to work with in your application essay. Certain courses, like basic methodology and literature review courses will be required. You should select the remaining courses that fulfill your degree requirements based on the faculty member overseeing the course and the topic of the course, as they pertain to your specialty. Graduate schools are great places to engage with other respected-faculty members and other students, which can help you find a job later on. While completing your coursework, take every opportunity to attend conferences, workshops and seminars. Depending on the size of and available funding in your department, you may be able to get money to attend conferences, workshops and seminars. A major component of completing your graduate degree is researching and writing your master's thesis. This document represents your contribution to ongoing scholarly debates in your area of expertise. Your adviser in the department should be able to help you identify a topic and find resources for writing your thesis. As you are nearing the end of your degree program, you will want to ask three faculty members, who know you and your work well, for letters of recommendation. These letters will be essential parts of your application for jobs down the line.

Article: If you want to look older, start with the way you dress. When you're shopping, buy clothing cut in classic styles, like trousers, draped blouses, and sophisticated pencil skirts. Try wearing a pair of straight-leg trousers with a tailored button-down shirt and a pair of flats for a look that's mature without seeming like you're trying too hard. Avoid youthful clothing, like cropped tops or graphic tees. Neutral colors like black, white, navy, and camel always look sophisticated. If you love a bright pop of color, opt for jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or ruby red. These colors look very rich and grown up. Stay away from candy-colored or neon shades, since these are usually worn by younger people. Overly baggy clothes are often popular with younger people. For a more grown-up look, find clothes with a silhouette that fit close to your body without being too snug. You don't have to dress provocatively in order to wear figure-flattering clothing. Try wearing a fitted sweater with a boat neck, a pair of slim-fitting boot cut jeans, and flat ankle boots for a put-together look that is still age-appropriate. You don't have to wear heels all the time, although they can help you look taller. Choose sensible, nice-looking shoes like flats, loafers, boots, or sandals. If you do wear heels, make sure it's a pair you can walk in comfortably. Tottering on a pair of too-high heels will make you look like you're playing dress-up. Start out with a low heel or a pair of wedges, which offer more stability as you walk. Don't pile on every piece of jewelry that you own in an attempt to look more glamorous. Instead, choose simple accessories that accent your outfit, like a lightweight scarf, a nice-looking watch, or a pretty bracelet. Make any look more polished with a simple pair of pearl studs. Skip the hoodie when the weather turns cold. Opt instead for fitted outerwear, like a belted jacket or a coat that's tailored to be fitted in the waist. A belted trench coat is a classic look that is flattering on almost every figure. Go for a feminine look on a fall day by wearing a trench coat over a dress or skirt with stockings and calf-length boots. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a designer bag, but a nice bag will make you look more mature. Look for a leather or imitation leather bag in a neutral color like black or brown. If you have to carry a backpack at school, look for one in a simple, neutral color. If you need help correcting your eyesight, the right pair of glasses can make you look older. Choose a pair that is proportionate to your face, and which contrasts the shape of your face. For instance, if you have a round face, a square pair of glasses can help balance out your full cheeks. If you suddenly start dressing in unfamiliar styles, you might feel uncomfortable. This can actually make you look younger, since to others it might seem like you're playing dress-up. When you buy a new item of clothing, try seeing if you can use clothes you already have to make a cute outfit. If you buy a new pencil skirt, look through your closet to see if you have a glam tank top or a sweater to wear with it. Try pairing the outfit with your favorite flats or low heels.
