There is a plethora of information in the internet where you can find online ESL job opportunities but sometimes choosing which one to apply for is not as easy as it seem.
Many job seekers or aspiring ESL teachers now become very picky or meticulous in picking the right company for them. The influence of social media particularly with the shared reviews or experience from people about a company play a role in influencing others to think twice.
If you go to YouTube and search the name of the company you are planning to apply for, you will probably find something about it: a former employee sharing her ugly experience or a current employee giving her bias review. Either way, you will be influenced of what you are going to do next.
One specific company I have in mind is five one talk (I intentionally spell it this way) — this online school is popular among ESL teachers coz they market or promote it everywhere. In fact, they pay millions to celebrities who endorse them. Now, does that make them the best company? With their popularity, does that make them standout from all other ESL companies? Well in my opinion, I do not think so.
This company has so much shi* going on online. What I mean by that is, there are many teachers who came forward to speak about the dark side of this company and for the most part, their issues or sentiments are mainly about the salary. Though this is not the only unappealing part, it makes applicants/teachers rethink their decisions and seek for new companies instead — companies that are less known or just start-ups.
We often think that older companies tend to be reputable or the best option to apply for work coz they have built a reputation already, that they are experienced in the industry, and likely to offer a higher pay. However, this is not always the case for so many companies not just in the ESL market.
There are many advantages in working at a new company and since this article is not focused on discussing the ‘pros’ of working in a start-up company, let me save that for my next blog instead.
Very recently, I searched about the online ESL schools that seek applicants from the Philippines. So in no particular order, here is the list of the new online ESL companies for Filipinos:
