I'm currently looking for a job in Tijuana (Mexico) and on a few different job forums I've seen ads for a company, Wikiformacion, that says it urgently needs native English teachers to give classes via skype 40 hours a week. When I tried to look up more information about the company, I couldn't find anything about it except more ads in other parts of Mexico and other Latin American countries, all in Spanish but seeking native English speakers to do these skype classes. None of the ads say what the salary would be. I have to say it seems weird to me that they're looking in Latin American countries -- if they want native English speakers and skype works everywhere in the world, wouldn't it be more logical to put these ads in English-speaking countries?

I'm definitely interested in any kind of full-time job at this point, but does anyone have more information on whether this is a legit company? I can't find any more information on them, which at first I excused because the ad said they were a new company but then I saw that there was another ad for Costa Ricans from as far back as November 2013!

Here's the text of what the ad looks like (they all are within a few words of each other):

This the ONLY thing I can say about this Smile!
Salario: "A convenir" means roughly "to be decided"..or more likely they mean something like "based on experience and qualifications" in English.

If there is an e-mail, it can't hurt to send them a message..it says the applicant must be a native speaker, so surely someone reading that could get it where it needs to go from there Smile.
