Has a TESOL certification helped anyone here get a job? Or is it another of those credentials

[raccoon]

that don't really help due to oversupply?

1. A job? I thought it was mainly so foreign students could go to college in the US?

2. You are thinking of TOEFL. TESOL is a teacher of English to people who speak other languages. nt

[CFLDem]

3. Well I've certainly never gotten a job because of it.

Sounds like a good way to travel for work, though.

4. honestly, a certificate will probably get you an underpaid job in China, or Korea...

If you want to pursue teaching English as a career overseas, you still need credentials... a minimum MA in TEFL, or even a Ph.D.

Even better would be a traditional English degree (MA, or Ph.D.) , some TEFL experience (and maybe certification), and teaching experience.
