Can anyone suggest the best way to find a NON-EF job in Jakarta?
Also, I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience I had. I had 2 schools that sent me a contract and seemed interested in hiring me. Then I told them that I did not need housing because I would live in my Indonesian fiancee's home. I have two ideas about the reason. 1) the school knew that they could not screw me over if I had a fiancee who is Indonesian or 2)the school thought that I would be too involved in my family to teach....
any ideas about either topics would be great.... |

| It could be that they didn't like the fact that you were living with your fiance and you aren't married yet. |

The owner of the school also owns the housing. He/she would have had an empty room that needed filling. Had it not been filled he/she would lose that monthly portion of the rent. You were not willing to fill it. You are pushed to the side. The owner finds a new teacher happy to nestle within the spoken abode. He couldn't give a bush grub whether you and your fiancee are married.

Likely the owner of the school has a mortgage on the house, and the 'rent' the teachers pay go to pay the mortgage. The teachers not only make the owner a good income, they help him buy the house.
Too bad the original poster didn't take the housing for the first month, then move out after arriving... |

to answer your housing question: if you opt out of teacher housing (and why wouldn't you? sharing with upto 5 complete strangers & their assorted boyfriends/girlfriends, cats & dogs etc - can you believe people buy pets for their one year contracts!!!) the school must pay you a monthly housing allowance - the allowance is much more than the rent for your multi-personed/animaled housing - simple economics.
regarding non-EF schools in jakarta? don't know as they never advertise, makes you wonder why everywhere you look on the web EF is jumping out at you. |
