1. If you've already got $40K debt, what's another 2.5K
2. Resumes are the weakest form of application. For this kind of job, especially if they're going to show an Asian name and an Asian face. The rest of the world has no problem with judging a book by its cover. So you must present the best cover: your voice.
3. Get the numbers of people in English schools with hiring power, be it in Arab countries, or Asian countries, wherever you want to work. You'd most likely prefer Asia, such as Korea; in Saudi you can't even drink or chase girls. Actually if I was in your situation, living in Toronto, I'd be landing in Seoul as fast as physically possible.
4. Get those numbers by whatever trick in the book you need to utilize. Hustle.
5. Read up on Sales techniques. Kaplan's 'Secrets of a master closer' is a good general sales manual.
6. Pick up the phone and call those numbers, until you have job offers (ideally at least 3).
8. "Our requirements" is just a filter - if they get no other applicants, or no other applicants are more qualified, and they have students who are going to have to be turned away if they don't hire you, they'll hire you.
9. Pick the best offer and have it made as firm as possible. After you have an offer, do your due diligence in case the company is run by a scumbag who has no problem fucking people over.
10. Get on a plane.
