Glad you're doing some research! The schools in Qatar vary widely, from excellent opportunities for teachers to slave-plantations/sweat-shops. You must be very careful, obviously. If you have only one year of teaching experience chances are that you will not be hired with one of the top schools, sorry. Dave's ESL Cafe can be a good resource. Keep asking questions because if you get the wrong facility your life could be a living hell. For example - shared, unsafe, monitored and unhygienic living facilities, unheeded contracts, very low wages and the inability to even leave the country. If you are not at the top of the food chain in Qatar life can be pretty miserable, especially for a single woman.
