Hello folks! I need to ask for a bit of clarity and perhaps encouragement. I have a TEFL and CTEYL, however, I have no degree or formal teaching experience. I've often been called upon to train new employees at various tech support jobs (where I also spent my entire day explaining complex concepts in simple terms). I figure that can be somewhat related experience.

When I made the decision to move to Cambodia (which I will be doing in early February), the information I received at the time was that it's easy to find a job teaching English as long as you're a native speaker and preferably have at least a TEFL. I'd heard that Cambodia was desperate for teachers.

I renewed my passport, dove into the TEFL program, and bought my plane ticket. Now it's starting to look like the opposite is true. That most jobs are requiring degrees and/or experience, regardless of the TEFL. At this point, I'm too invested in time, money, and effort to really back out.

I'm planning to stay long-term and make this a career and a new life, and take it seriously. I want to do my best for the students so they can have more options in their future. I want to help Cambodia be in the hands of more Cambodians. I'm not going there to fund some party lifestyle or to just go elsewhere in a month or a year.聽

I guess what I want to know is if my efforts might be in vain. Should I be worried about finding a job?
