Work / Doing my course in Krakow, working in EFL in Poland (newbie questions) [43]

I will try my hardest to avoid making any further mistakes to avoid your collective internet wrath.

Will having a foreign name help me or hinder me?

Work / Doing my course in Krakow, working in EFL in Poland (newbie questions) [43]

@delphiandomine - yes, English natives are known for having poor language skills. But I am a language student and it has been a very important part of my life to date. I've been pouring over English grammar books for years. And teaching is something that I have always enjoyed. I'd like to do it for a career, not for an excuse to go on holiday.

@maybe - Thank you for the advice and for the encouragement. I also have to say that I really like your idea. It never really occurred to me of working PT for two industries at once. But you make a very decent point and such jobs looking quite attractive. Did you just quickly type that into Google, or is this from some specialist site for graduates?

@ bolle and everyone else - from what you say, it seems like this, "you can do it if you really want to - don't expect it to be a party and for people to run after you - but if you really want it you can get it, and enjoy doing it." - right?

Thanks very much for your help, though I have to admit I am a bit surprised by your less than optimistic replies. I wonder if this is a general trend for TEFL in Europe...
