How I did it: took a teaching english course last year (which was very expensive - shop around).  i worked in my field (social work) for one year paying back student loans.
then started to look for jobs online.  i searched as many sites as i could find.  i had a tailored resume and experience in teaching.  found a employer who hired me, then moved away!  it didn't take me very long to find a job.  realistically, i would say about 2 weeks of searching/planning. 

to be honest, teaching English isn't what I want to do.  I want to pursue social work here, but I thought that this would be a good starting point in the country.  After a year here I plan on moving somewhere to do this.

my best advice: shop around, be prepared, take the jump and know yourself.  there are so many choices when teaching English overseas.
