The setting up of a career that involves teaching is quite a challenge in one’s home country itself. Imparting lessons to students, making them future assets for the country through the guided educational upbringing is no mean task. This task increases by manifolds once an individual sets foot abroad with teaching as an assignment. The hurdles that pose to individuals on the selection of such an overseas career option are plenty. It becomes quite an impossible task to manage and select the best options for launching a teaching career in a foreign country without the involvement of any backup support.
The problems overseas begin with basic areas of concern such as the school to select for teaching, the accommodation facilities etc. A good number of non-English speaking nations are now opting for teaching the language of English through the recruitment of Americans and other citizens of English speaking countries. Earlier it used to be the very natives of non-English speaking countries that used to teach English. Asian countries that are non-English speaking nations are turning out to be good options for English teaching jobs abroad. China as an Asian country is a chief recruiter of foreign teachers.

In order to be a part of this growing demand for English teachers and citing this as a unique opportunity to help and lend support, a number of organizations around the world have set up their bases helping individuals launch a successful teaching career. Good teachers Union is an example of such an organization that has till date helped teaching applicants with teaching jobs in China numbering in thousands. The organization started operating in the year of 2009. The main aim of the organization, as it lays emphasis on is in not just providing a job opportunity for an applicant but also providing support to the teaching prospect throughout the stay in the country. The services that get extend by the organization are free of any cost.
The setting up of teaching ESL abroad job involves quite some steps through an organization like the GT Union. The preliminary step involves an interview session between the job prospect and the organization through the network based application of Skype. This preliminary round of interview is very important as this helps the organization to ascertain the preferences of the applicant regarding the cities one is looking forward to setting up base. It can be a large or a small city. The interview session further underlines the preference of the job applicant regarding the age group of the pupils one is looking forward to teach. Later another interview session follows, this time; school interacts with the prospect. It may be stated that only the schools that meet up with the strict standards of GT Union qualify as probable workstations.
The organization, later on, extends further support regarding the signing of the contract, arrangements of hotels, bank facilities, and other amenities till the teaching contract gets over.
