Useful information. Thanks.

Just one thing, being a business professional doesn’t mean you have to be rude. Much of this article comes across as extremely condescending.

Chris, perhaps those dimwitted TEFL teachers you criticize can teach you the difference between “confidant” and “confident.” Great article though…

I have to partly disagree with the advice of ‘bragging’ about yourself. There’s a line between knowing how to properly phrase your document/how to sell yourself and being a car salesman. Also, depending on what country you are applying for work, this aggressive tactic is considered offensive as locals wouldn’t use such boastful language.

Judging from the countless TEFL resumes I’ve seen, I’m confidant in saying that the vast majority of so-called TEFL teachers are dimwitted. It’s no surprise that somebody needs to hold their hand when writing their resumes. Furthermore, having had to hire a few myself, I suggest that you just hire whoever is geographically closest to your location because in the end, you almost never know what you’re going to get. TEFL teachers are certainly a strange brew.
