A few questions about the application process.
1) Can I submit more than three references?
2) Will the application process be hindered if I am living overseas?
3) For the placement section, I just want warm weather. Hotter the better. Should I put a specific place? Or should I just say 'anywhere' then not select central or eastern Europe and write "Warm climate" in the reason box?
4) Should I try and contact a guy who I volunteered with 3 years ago for only a month for a recommendation. (it would be the only guy would I could get a recommendation from for volunteer services... that speaks English)
5) I'm a volunteer fire fighter in Japan. The unfortunate thing is, my supervisor guy only speaks Japanese. Would it be bad rear end or improper to use him as a rec? (the rec would be in Japanese, and I could probably help him fill it out).

Whoa - I have a friend who's in Iwate right now. You're a volunteer firefighter there?

Just put in my first couple of applications for after service. Still need to fax transcripts.

Also I will never work with children again.

Thanks PC for offering to pay for therapy but not a freaking mouth guard when I grind my teeth.

...yeah, this is gonna need some backstory.

Has anyone here served in China?

I studied abroad and interned in China for like 8 months in 2008 and really want to go back. I know I can just find a place that's hiring English teachers and go that way, but I feel like there might be some benefit to going with the Peace Corps instead.

Anyone have any info on the pros/cons of getting a job as an English teacher in a place as opposed to going through the Peace Corps?
