Jobs of the Week June 2, 2013


How sad the TEFL industry is this week: one friggin’ job worthy of the ‘good’ rating. I hope quality jobs start popping up in time to hire teachers for September.

GOOD

1) 3 Native English teachers needed in Dongying, Shandong Province, China
Golden Bridge Training Center

Low pay, but accommodation provided in a city somewhat close to Beijing. Ample vacation time, and free Chinese lessons. Minimal contact hours. Yes, low pay, but could be a good situation. Apply.


BAD

2) Teach to Travel University Positions, Bursa, Turkey

Low pay and to think you’ll have to pay for expensive accommodation in or around Bursa, you’ll be just about to make ends meet though without going out or spending any money on fun.


3) Apply Immediately for Teaching Positions in Taipei, Taiwan
Honor Roll kerryliou@gmail.com

Low pay. No mention of contact hours. Short vacation. You will have to pay accommodation from your salary. And you’ll be teaching kids.


4) EAP tutors/IELTS teachers
Winchester School of Art/Dalian Polytechnic University

If they want such highly qualified teachers, then they should be offering a lot more money. University of Liverpool at Xian Jiao Tong starts at 16, 000 RMB.


NOT WORTH IT

5) Teach Kindergarten in Nakhonsawan, Thailand
Yuwapat Nakhonsawan Thailand mdamulligan@gmail.com

Super low pay, even by Thai standards. Max 20 kindy students in a class? And no mention of contact hours. No thank you.


6) Qualified Female Native English Speaking Teacher Needed in Khartoum, Sudan
Kibeida International Schools mkeebo@hotmail.com

If you’re only going to offer NET with 3 years’ experience and degree and TEFL certified $1,200 to come to Sudan, then you’re better off just hiring locals. This package is a slap in the face, even for the kindhearted individuals.


7) ARAMCO Contractor in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Ballenger-Atherton Group ballenger.atherton.group@gmail.com


This contractor is taking a huge chunk of the salary. As well, they are not providing you with 14 day vacations every 4 months. And they do not provide roundtrip tickets for each vacation. Do not send your resume to them.


8) Teach Online! - from $10 to $20 per hour
English-and-Skype

These bastards again? Read my other posts here and here.
Not worth your time. As a teacher, you deserve better treatment.
