Did you have to get a teaching certification before you left for Asia? When did you start your international job search? Was it weeks or months before you departed? Hi Sarah — Thanks for your input!

Not having to rush into a job after graduation can be an extremely rewarding experience. Most of all new graduates don't need to feel guilty about taking time off to travel before settling down as the current state of the economy almost encourages students to take advantage of the opportunity. Myself and two of my friends decided to teach overseas and we went through Footprints Recruiting and they were wonderful. They helped us secure teaching jobs in Asia and their services were free. I had the chance to travel to Vietnam on my break from teaching and I will never forget all the warm people I met while teaching in South Korea. I strongly encourage others to do the same.
