Good
Language Link Vietnam
Good, straight forward post with all the pertinent information you need to make a reasoned decision to send your CV. Pay is average range for school in Vietnam. I like how they guarantee you a minimum number of contact hours.
Bad
Brainsmart Training & Development
The pay is low, even by Malaysian standards. Usually the range for jobs
is between 5-7,000 MYR, which is about 1,600 – 2,300 USD. No mention of a
website for you to conduct your own research. I did find a short company bio here. No mention of contact hours. I’m wary of the gmail address. As you know, if the
company was legit, or not a start-up, they would've provided a company email
address, like someone@brainsmart.com.
Just an example.... Not a good post, but maybe it is worth your time to get
some answers to your questions.
International
House – San Diego
No mention of pay. No website.
Still worthwhile to email your CV if you’re around San Diego.

Not Worth It
TeachingChile
TeachingChile is a pay service. You should never pay anyone to secure a job. Even for recruiters in Korea, China, or other countries, the applicant is not responsible to pay the recruiter fee. That is the obligation of the school or institute.
English-and-Skype
You can read my previous post about this company here. They’re obviously hurting for teachers, because this is their 7th post just for the month of April alone.
In a nut shell, the application is
lengthy. They schedule a phone interview to ask you inane grammar questions,
some of which you already answered in their online application form. Then they
schedule a teaching demonstration via Skype. Then they make a decision on you
as a candidate. Why can’t they interview you via Skype and ask you questions
about your education and work experience and some hypothetical ‘What would you
do if...’ type questions to see how you as a teacher would respond. That’s a
normal job interview. Instead of screening applicants with stages, I wish the heads
of EAS would just use their head and discern the truth.
This company is not
Cambridge or Oxford. It’s an online company. Stop the bullshit. Change your
marketing, interview and hiring tactics. If you want to develop a good
relationship with teachers, sincerely listen to them during the interview, make
your decision based on what you hear.
Teacha Language School
The pay is low, but typical for Thai schools seeking candidates with 0-1 year of experience. The kicker is they don’t provide accommodation or a subsidy to help offset the costs. You will be breaking even if you continue to have a western life style. You might save a few dollars if you immerse yourself in Thai culture, living and eating as they do. This job is not worth your time because the post provides no details about the students. Will you be teaching young learners only? Adults? How many in a class? There are better jobs in Thailand that offer better pay, lower contact hours and provide accommodation allowance. Keep looking...
E-Communication online teaching in Japan
Similar to English-and-Skype. Their application process puts you through the ringer. This company constantly has a job advert on TEFL.com website. They must have a high turnover rate of teachers leaving and/ or quitting. Caution: if you are not Caucasian, this company will not hire you.
