Footprints Recruiting

Not everyone is fit to be a teacher.  Not everyone should be given the responsibility of leading a class.  Too many people decide they want to teach English abroad only because they want a plane ticket somewhere for a year to play and have fun.  Teaching doesn't even register with them as the primary responsibility.

Footprints receives between 50 and 200 applications per day. 

Writing a good resume is not rocket science. In fact, many of the rocket scientists that apply are rejected based on their poorly written resumes.

In order to write a good resume the first thing you have to consider is your audience. Who will read your resume? What are they looking for?

Imagine yourself as the hiring manager or the school owner. What would you be looking for in a teacher if you were the one hiring?

The process to apply to be a Footprints teacher is very simple and can take less than 24 hours from application to acceptance.  How's that sound?  Apply today, get a job tomorrow?  In today's job market that's pretty impressive.

Ok - we know what you’re thinking – why in the world do you need my picture? Aren’t there laws against this? Isn’t this discriminatory? and you’re right…if we were talking about North American or Australian or New Zealand or British or Irish or even South African employers – but we’re not!

In the Asian countries that we work with all teacher applicants have to submit a picture with their resume – no ifs, ands or buts! Since you are applying to teach in Asia, the same applies to you. To help you out with this we have created some “don’ts & do’s” (yes, we know it’s usually written the other way around) to give you a clear idea of the best type of photo to submit.

Footprints has established a partnership with Medisys to offer Canadian teachers a discount on their travel health consultation.
