Jobs in the ELT world can be incredibly easy or incredibly difficult to come by. If you are prepared to travel and don't mind work conditions, then you'll have no difficulties finding work.

Unfortunately the general rule of thumb in this industry is that the nicer the place, the less they pay and also please be aware there are a large number of sharks in this industry and it is very common to promise a lot and then fail to deliver it.

If you're unsure then a good place to start looking for information on centres is the search engine to the right it's configured to search the largest efl websites on the net.

If you are hoping to come to Malaysia, then please send me an Email with your CV and I'll happily look over it and see if you're qualified to work out here and suggest where you can apply.

Rating

	One of the best employers in Malaysia
	Mixed reports, but generally have a good reputation.
	They generally pay your wages and that's the only good thing about them. (Avoid unless really desperate.)
	Terrible school - Last place you want to work on earth.
