Teaching abroad is a huge field providing many different opportunities. Finding a job is not always the most difficult part. Evaluating which overseas programs are reputable can be the most challenging aspect of the job search.
In general, avoid any organization that is reluctant to provide references or does not provide clear contact information, including a full mailing address. Don't be fooled by a slick website; it does not necessarily mean the organization is legitimate. Below are some reputable sites that you may find helpful in your job search: JET Program
