Thoughts On A Job Post #14
By Katie | January 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It’s been a while since the last thoughts on an EFL job post - about ten weeks, to be exact. The job ad that caught my eye this time is interesting more as insight into the recruiting industry than as a job itself. Identifying details have been changed. Have a look and [...]

By Katie | December 13th, 2007 | 8 Comments »
Nowhere do chain EFL schools about as in Japan, so if you’re considering EFL in Japan you’ve probably heard of or thought about working for AEON, GEOS, Interac, and Westgate (and possibly Nova, but that’s another story).

I recently took off on a mini- or not-so-mini-tirade about Korea visa procedures, which might seem odd as they don’t even affect me personally.

What follows is a real email I received; while I have twelve past posts with real questions and comments on real job ads, note that THIS IS VERY CLEARLY AN EMAIL SCAM, AND MY COMMENTS ARE SARCASTIC and/or satirical in nature, and are meant for amusement purposes only.
