Hi guys,
I am a NZ citizen with Masters of Professional Studies in International Relations from Auckland University. I originally come from Pakistan but I grew up in New Zealand. I am in Auckland at the moment.
My girlfriend is in Jakarta and she wants me to move there. She keeps on sending me random jobs but a lot of times they are jobs for locals. I considered EF English first but they pay very little and the visa stuff seems rather shady.
I have previously taught IELTS to adults and I am quite good at teaching and at administrative duties with a sound knowledge of technology.
I was wondering where should I start in looking for work in Jakarta? Any tips?
Would you guys be aware of any websites or job boards. I am considering doing a CELTA but I have heard that if you do not have a degree in education, it is hard to get a visa approved as an English teacher? My undergrad was in communication studies from AUT University, Auckland. I have also heard that if you do not look like a 'westerner', you will have issues looking for English teaching work.
Any help will be much appreciated and will make my girlfriend very happy.
