Waiting for HS teaching placement teach Taiwan/TFETP

Hiyaaa,

So I've been waiting for placement... Supposedly June-August are peak hiring seasons but I have yet to receive anything.

Ideally, I want to work at a public high school (open to junior..and I suppose elementary if necessary). So far it's just a waiting game. I have a decent resume, letter of recommendations from my previous High School in Taiwan, and I have some from my previous High School in the United States. Clean record. Easy going.

My experience with teach Taiwan has always been pretty good. They usually answer emails fairly quickly etc. but this time around it seems they are taking longer.

I DO NOT want to work at a cram school. Ah, I just can't. I also don't want to get paid hourly. I want a salary, benefits, and ideally...not work with elementary students.

My teaching license is for ELAR high school and i prefer working with older students.

I've been thinking, if I can't land a full-time teaching job, I'll go back to the United States.

What about you all? Any of you on the fence about staying in Taiwan?

Side note: I am kinda over the "send profile picture, teaching demonstration, video introduction and and and"😫😫😫 haha
