  How Many People Find Positions That Will Allow Them To Teach
  
  When working with companies that fill teaching positions overseas, ask them how many positions they fill each year. Also ask how many applicants they have and whether they require any special certifications. Some companies won't require a certification, but it might make your application more competitive if you have a TESOL or TEFL certification. Be wary of companies that only have a few positions to fill. You might end up waiting a long time for a position to open up.
  
  What Help Do They Give Teachers
  
  Will your company help you find a place to live? What about health insurance? How many countries do they have contracts in? What is the pay rate? These questions and more should be answered to make sure you understand what you're getting into.
  
  Deciding to move overseas to teach is a good idea if you're looking for some adventure and excitement. It's also a great way to escape the downturned job market and gain some valuable job experience. If you're interested in learning more, contact a company that specializes in teaching English abroad programs.
  
  Whether you've already been offered a chance to teach overseas through one of the many teaching English abroad programs now looking for qualified teachers or you're just beginning to explore the idea, you should start preparing to go overseas now. It can take 2-3 months or more to get all your ducks in a row before moving to a foreign country for a year or more, and preparation is the key to a successful temporary relocation.
  
  Getting Proper Documentation
  
  You'll need a valid passport for traveling abroad. It can take a few months to apply for and receive a passport, so be sure to get your photo taken and apply as soon as possible. Many countries also require a visa (and perhaps a work visa to teach), so do some homework by contacting the U.S. Department of State or visiting their website to determine what documents you'll need to travel to your host country. You should also make copies of everything from your passport to your health insurance and life insurance information. Don't be frightened away from jobs that only pay $1500 a month because many teachers are actually able to save the majority of their salaries for fun and travelling expenses.
  
  Reason #5: Experiencing Another Culture
  
  This is one of the biggest reasons people want to learn how to teach English abroad. Experiencing another culture as a permanent resident and not just as a tourist can lead you to areas of your new city that you wouldn't get to experience otherwise. You'll also be able to try new foods, make new friends and immerse yourself into another country's culture.
  
  If you're interested in learning more about teaching English abroad programs, do a little research. You might find other reasons to take one of these positions overseas. No matter why you decide to move overseas to teach, it might just be one of the most amazing experiences of your life.
