Practical advice: I am currently submitting applications to teach as an ALT. I understand the companies aren’t great, but I’ll further explain my situation in a second. In a practical sense, would anyone be open to reading and critiquing my cover letter? I’m not getting any interest despite having a decade of experience working & living abroad
Personal advice: I’m from the United States, and I am Mexican American. I’ve lived abroad for 10 years now, both in Europe and the United Kingdom, giving me experience in learning a new language and immersing in new cultures. I don’t feel connected to the states anymore, and with the political climate of hate against Mexicans, I fear going back. It doesn’t feel like home, I now know the joy of affordable health care, not worrying about guns, and accessible healthy eating because food standards here are more strict. Sadly, my current visa for the UK expires soon, so I’m looking at Japan. Hence, my willingness to work as an ALT while I gather how to permanently live abroad. How could I make the experience as enjoyable as possible despite the overly negative reviews?
Any help is appreciated !
