Jobs of the Week 12 May 2013


GOOD

English First (EF) Academic Partnerships - English Teacher at University in Shanghai

Good salary working for a university in a great location. Low hours and the opportunity to earn extra income during holidays make this a job to apply for.


RAY English Recruitment- TEACH IN CHINA!!

Comprehensive post with all questions answered but one: how many teaching hours per week?
Accommodation is provided, but will you be sharing with another teacher?
Salary is quite low. If you do have a TEFL/ CELTA cert, negotiate for at least 12, 000 RMB.


Becamex – Vietnam

A very high salary and severance on offer here in a beautiful spot in SE Asia. Accommodation provided and decent vacation time (30 days inclusive of public holidays), opportunities for IELTS examiner training. But no mention of contact hours, or if you have to work on Saturday.


BAD

Aston Business Consulting - High School English and/or US history teacher needed for semi-tropical Quanzhou, China

I’m surprised the salary is so low for content teachers. If you have Literature/ History experience in the US, that usually means you are certified to teach in High School, which garners more money, at least for other schools in China.

11 month contract means they will not pay for your holidays. That is a shiesty way to treat teachers who have worked their ass of for upwards of 30 students in each class, for 25 hours per week.
At least they provide you with accommodation and foot the visa costs.


Istra School - EFL Teacher – Russia

Not a bad package. $1,500 / month, shared accommodation. Contact hours? Holidays? Not mentioned...and you’re an hour away from Moscow.


TLTP Teach Global - English Teachers – Saudi Arabia

No mention of salary, contact hours. Because the required qualifications are only a CELTA/ TEFL certificate, they will rape you on the salary. Expect $1,800 – 2,500 at best. You’ve been warned.


NOT WORTH IT

European Centre - Corporate English Language Instructors – Saudi Arabia

No mention of anything helpful for a candidate to make a decision to submit a resume.
Nothing about contact hours, accommodation, flights, visas...in short if they don’t take the time to post the necessary information about the job, I don’t want to waste my time with them.
Keep looking.


ISUS - Online Language Teachers

This company always has a job post on TEFL.com. I applied a few years ago, just to see what the process was. Not a single word from them. Why wouldn’t they entertain a Ph. D. in Education fluent in three languages?
