Not sure what prompted that comment...it's certainly not true. From my experience, interviewing at International schools in the past, it seems common that those who are not accepted for the post are offered a chance to put their names on the supply teaching list for that school, (perhaps as a means of saving face in the eyes of the interviewer?).
As for the original poster's question, it really depends on your quals....are you a teacher now in your home country? If so, your chances are definitely greater. ESF and International schools (and the EMB (government Education department)) require a minimum Bach Degree for a teaching position. The days of English speakers coming over and landing cushy jobs having no experience or uni. quals are over. But if your not a teacher, you should still be able to find work here in a language centre where the rules are more lax. There are a few that use science and technology as a medium for teaching English for young kids that I know of. You can also apply as a teaching assistant when those positions become available.
