OUPELTGlobal 12:01 PM Hello everyone, looking forward to another chat today. What's the topic? Sorry, but it's been that kind of morning so far. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:02 PM @OUPELTGlobal it's about dream jobs :-) Dream jobs: where do we TEFLers dream of ending up? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:03 PM @Julian_LEnfant It's been a few years since Poland hasn't it! #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:03 PM Very relevant #eltchat for me today!
Julian_LEnfant 12:03 PM #ELTchat After Poland (which was amazing) and currently Canada, (which is awesome), perhaps somewhere a little warmer. :)
theteacherjames 12:03 PM RT @Shaunwilden: It's time for the 12 GMT #eltchat is Dream jobs: where do we TEFLers dream of ending up? for the next hour plse only us ...
TPMcDonald85 12:04 PM Dream TEFL Job: If I was paid a fair salary and sick pay everything else would be a bonus! #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:04 PM hey, no brainer on this one, - basking in the sun while your language school is making loads of cash, no? LOL #eltchat
suzanne_efl 12:04 PM @Julian_LEnfant I like the idea of somewhere warmer too..maybe in South America #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:04 PM @theteacherjames Oh yes congrats - big move eh :-) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:05 PM RT @TPMcDonald85: Dream TEFL Job: If I was paid a fair salary and sick pay everything else would be a bonus! #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:05 PM @OUPELTGlobal Basking in the sun says the man currently in a very miserable Oxford :-) #eltchat
Julian_LEnfant 12:05 PM RT @OUPELTGlobal: hey, no brainer on this one, - basking in the sun while your language school is making loads of cash, no? LOL #eltchat
Julian_LEnfant 12:05 PM @Shaunwilden It has! I left in 2005 and haven't been able to get back since 2008. Love Bydgoszcz, though! Great memories! #eltchat
suzanne_efl 12:06 PM @Shaunwilden @OUPELTGlobal London is pretty gloomy too today :( #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:06 PM @TPMcDonald85 Yes unf fairpay is often an issue in elt #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:06 PM @Shaunwilden Cheers! #exciting #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:07 PM @suzanne_efl Is that your dream location? #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:07 PM @OUPELTGlobal That sounds like a plan! #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:07 PM RT @OUPELTGlobal: hey, no brainer on this one, - basking in the sun while your language school is making loads of cash, no? LOL #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:08 PM @Shaunwilden yes, wet, grey, and miserable - need some sunshine #eltchat
suzanne_efl 12:09 PM @Shaunwilden My dream location is Colombia, but I've never actually been.  Has anyone else? #eltchat
TPMcDonald85 12:09 PM @Shaunwilden it comes with the job I guess. Overworked and underpaid. It helps to enjoy what you do. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:09 PM I guess everyones idea of a dream job is different #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:10 PM For me, a big part of my ideal job would be autonomy & the freedom to get on with teaching without interference from outside. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:10 PM RT @suzanne_efl: @Shaunwilden My dream location is Colombia, but I've never actually been.  Has anyone else? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:10 PM RT @OUPELTGlobal: the first thing that came to mind was being treated as a professional. Doesn't always happen in TEFL. #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:10 PM the first thing that came to mind was being treated as a professional. Doesn't always happen in TEFL. #eltchat
esolcourses 12:11 PM RT @theteacherjames: For me, a big part of my ideal job would be autonomy & the freedom to get on with teaching without interference ...
Julian_LEnfant 12:11 PM A uni role has its perks, more people in the community willing to talk to me; have a healthy book budget, uni resources, etc. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:11 PM @theteacherjames Interference from the outside? #eltchat
esolcourses 12:11 PM RT @OUPELTGlobal: the first thing that came to mind was being treated as a professional. Doesn't always happen in TEFL. #eltchat
betinapfreitas 12:12 PM RT @theteacherjames: For me, a big part of my ideal job would be autonomy & the freedom to get on with teaching without interference ...
TPMcDonald85 12:12 PM The dream job: on a beach teaching English (with ample pocket money). The reality: rainy Manchester #eltchat
esolcourses 12:13 PM @Shaunwilden @theteacherjames on my wishlist too, James! #eltchat
TPMcDonald85 12:13 PM @suzanne_efl Colombia is a beautiful place.Medellin was my favourite city. British Council were opening a school when I was there #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:13 PM @Shaunwilden Outsiders: managers who don't know what they are doing, politicians, parents etc #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:13 PM @TPMcDonald85 would beach teaching really hold your attention for long? All that sand yuck :-) #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:14 PM RT @OUPELTGlobal: the first thing that came to mind was being treated as a professional. Doesn't always happen in TEFL. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:14 PM @theteacherjames Parents pay for the teaching though so surely they have a right to an opinion? #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:14 PM @esolcourses @Shaunwilden I enjoy that freedom at the moment. Hope I have it in the future! #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 12:14 PM Am now in Salzburg doing teacher training so cant take part. But agree with being treated as professional. #eltchat
susana_castaned 12:14 PM #ELTchat dream job may involve being given responsibilities. I quit my last job for not having opportunities for promotion
theteacherjames 12:15 PM @Shaunwilden Of course, as long they don't tell teachers how to teach. #eltchat
FrancesEales 12:16 PM Working in a school or uni where professional development and career paths are explored, fostered (and paid for) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:16 PM So is 'dream' determined primarily by location? #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:16 PM @susana_castaned That must be very frustrating. #ELTchat
susana_castaned 12:16 PM @Shaunwilden @theteacherjames  some schools here in Peru are actually owned by parents, so yes, they have an opinion #ELTchat
suzanne_efl 12:16 PM @TPMcDonald85 Did you get work before you left the UK or while you were there? #eltchat
TPMcDonald85 12:17 PM @Shaunwilden I sampled it on my CELTA course in Ecuador. I'd certainly try it again :) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:17 PM RT @claubluefeather: @Shaunwilden I would like to be a materials writer and to be able to give conferences #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:17 PM RT @FrancesEales: Working in a school or uni where professional development and career paths are explored, fostered (and paid for) #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:17 PM RT @Shaunwilden: So is 'dream' determined primarily by location? #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:17 PM @susana_castaned @Shaunwilden They're entitled to an opinion, just not on everything. I don't tell doctors how to operate. #ELTchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:18 PM @theteacherjames I always felt the fine line between parents contributing and interfering.  #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:18 PM @claubluefeather Thanks for your thoughts, if you want to part in #eltchat make sure you include the # in your tweet :-)
susana_castaned 12:18 PM @theteacherjames You just have 3 paths: u can be a teacher, a coordinator (6 of them, same hierarchy) or the owner of th school! #ELTchat
Julian_LEnfant 12:18 PM Did you do the Career Maze on your initial TT course?The course is over. Do you:Go to country x?Card 1; Wait for a better option? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:19 PM @MarjorieRosenbe Yep me too :-) #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 12:19 PM I like combination of teaching, teacher training and materials development and writing. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:19 PM @Julian_LEnfant never heard of that  - my career path all a matter of luck I think :-) #eltchat
susana_castaned 12:19 PM @theteacherjames @Shaunwilden #ELTchat true. Parents are supposed to trust teachers, and teachers are supposed to build trust
SophiaKhan4 12:19 PM RT @FrancesEales: Working in a school or uni where professional development and career paths are explored, fostered (and paid for) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:20 PM RT @claubluefeather:   if  that is the case I would love to teach in Great Britain #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:20 PM @OUPELTGlobal A very tricky balancing act. #eltchat
pjgallantry 12:21 PM #ELTchat ideal job? Being Scott Thornbury- does that count? :)
Julian_LEnfant 12:21 PM RT @MarjorieRosenbe: I like combination of teaching, teacher training and materials development and writing. #eltchat
susana_castaned 12:21 PM #ELTchat I hv a business now, teaching in-company, a staff and sometimes am invited to give conferences. I work mon-fri up to 3pm no more.
Shaunwilden 12:21 PM @SophiaKhan4 @MarjorieRosenbe  Well i dont know about dream but I enjoy what I do and I love being self-employed #eltchat
Julian_LEnfant 12:21 PM But the challenge in a uni environment is that innovation can take time, & requires lots of discussion & diplomacy. #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:21 PM @Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe So are you guys living the dream? What would you like? #ELTchat
sanchezcarme 12:21 PM RT @FionaTT: Do you feel recognised in your work? See my post on http://t.co/BQFO0xmL @OUPELTGlobal #ELT #ELTchat #TEFL
esolcourses 12:21 PM RT @theteacherjames: @esolcourses @Shaunwilden I enjoy that freedom at the moment. Hope I have it in the future! #eltchat ] same here!
TPMcDonald85 12:21 PM @suzanne_efl I found a school in Peru before leaving the UK. If you travelled there I think you would find one straight away #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:22 PM RT @pjgallantry: #ELTchat ideal job? Being Scott Thornbury- does that count? :)
suzanne_efl 12:22 PM @Shaunwilden I think you can make the best of most locations but respect, recognition and a decent salary would make it the dream #eltchat
FrancesEales 12:22 PM If interested in writing, have a look at http://t.co/7AEw4uYo and publishers have their own sites, e.g. http://t.co/b5JEXVhG #eltchat
esolcourses 12:22 PM RT @Shaunwilden is 'dream' determined primarily by location? #eltchat ] IMO, respect, working conditions etc, more important than locale

SophiaKhan4 12:22 PM @Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe Good measures of success :) #ELTchat
theteacherjames 12:22 PM @susana_castaned Yes, one of our problems is a lack of options. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 12:23 PM @esolcourses and I am not sure I will be able to catch up either !!! :-D  #ELTchat
esolcourses 12:23 PM RT @Marisa_C: Hello all - I am doing my ideal job - observing a class - which is why I am late for the #ELTchat today - sorry! ] LOL!

SophiaKhan4 12:23 PM @pjgallantry They need to make a movie called that. #ELTChat
theteacherjames 12:24 PM I think I might have already had my dream job when I taught in Korea. Not sure to feel happy I had  it, or sad it's gone. #eltchat
Marisa_C 12:24 PM Does my ideal job have to be teaching - cos I really wish I were Annie Lennox - off topic? :-D #ELTchat

susana_castaned 12:24 PM #ELTchat dream job involves 1:not working so many hours (got 2 kids and need to be home) 2:fair pay 3: opportunities for promotion
SophiaKhan4 12:24 PM @theteacherjames @susana_castaned And paths aren't really clear - eg ending up in teacher training vs management can just be luck #ELTchat
esolcourses 12:25 PM @Marisa_C no worries!  Sure you will. Which do you think is more important in dream job - location or working conditions, etc? #eltchat
pjgallantry 12:25 PM #ELTchat actually, I would love to do language consultancy work, travelling hither and yon. Failing that, professional conference-botherer.
SophiaKhan4 12:25 PM @suzanne_efl @Shaunwilden I agree - location can compensate for, or add to, but can't substitute 4 the qualities of the job itself #ELTchat
FrancesEales 12:25 PM I know colleagues who moved from training in ELT to training in e.g. NHS or the Ministries or Retailers Skillset is v transferable #eltchat
FionaTT 12:25 PM a dream job allows your to develop professionally, is stimulating, appreciates you, pays a fair salary in a gr8 location :-) #ELTchat
theteacherjames 12:26 PM RT @Marisa_C: Hello all - I am doing my ideal job - observing a class - which is why I am late for the #ELTchat today - sorry! >> Lucky you!
buckyacademics 12:26 PM Somewhere you have freedom over what you teach. I love experimenting with new ideas & approaches. Luckily I write the syllabus! #eltchat

suzanne_efl 12:26 PM @SophiaKhan4 @theteacherjames @susana_castaned I agree.  I would love to get into teacher training but not sure how #eltchat
susana_castaned 12:26 PM @SophiaKhan4 @theteacherjames @susana_castaned totally.I like either of them though and ended up doing both :) #ELTchat
theteacherjames 12:26 PM @pjgallantry Sorry, that position is taken! #ELTchat

esolcourses 12:28 PM @Marisa_C Playing devil's advocate, eh? Like it :-) Kind of agree, though if I had to opt for one, respect & working conds. win out #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:28 PM @susana_castaned @theteacherjames Lucky you! You are in a better position to refine your future path than someone who went 1 way #ELTchat
theteacherjames 12:28 PM @pjgallantry yes, conference botherer, that sounds good! #ELTchat

Julian_LEnfant 12:29 PM #eltchat Actually, I remember the great people I worked with more than the place. That was ideal!
FrancesEales 12:29 PM @suzanne_efl Suggest going to a school that regularly does TT and expressing interest/getting involved. #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:30 PM @suzanne_efl At least knowing u have that goal is good. The good thing about ELT is that there's always an opportunity somewhere #ELTchat
theteacherjames 12:30 PM Nobody has mentioned the students - what could be more important in defining a great job for a teacher? #eltchat
suzanne_efl 12:30 PM @FrancesEales thanks Frances #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:30 PM @Julian_LEnfant yes, the people you work with is definitely important #eltchat

eltknowledge 12:39 PM I know the topic is about where we'd like to end up...but perhaps the best thing about our job is constant change & learning! #eltchat

hartle 12:40 PM @eltknowledge  #eltchat I don't know where I want to "end up" either.. Ends are depressing it's all about getting there, isn't it :-)
Shaunwilden 12:40 PM @eltknowledge Very true, the constant variety is one thing that has always appealed to me and kept me energised #eltchat
yitzha_sarwono 12:40 PM @TPMcDonald85 @theteacherjames exactly :-) #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:41 PM @eltknowledge Is it possible we already do have the dream job - just can't recognise it because the pay is so sucky? :) #ELTchat
hartle 12:41 PM @hartle #eltchat in our uni  language centre there is NO promotion , but that also means there's no hierarchy and we work quite well.
ljp2010 12:41 PM @theteacherjames I think it's important to stay there.  I'd like to be there more than I am these days.   #ELTchat
