hi!

I have a question.

A private school in Abu Dhabi well outside abu dhabi has contacted me. COuld this be possible? Like direct hire??

Arent public schools inviting people to interviews? and there are verbal and a written exam? Also this is a school for boys. Im not sure about the regulations but can a female teach at a public boys school? I know about private schools.

So far they asked for my papers. They said they found me on naukhrigullf. Today they sent a confirmation that they recieved my documents and that they are screening for verification.

soo I m thinking hmm public school for boys is hiring me? they asked for my number not for skype. SO they will call me with in 2-3 days and Ill be in UAE within a week!

but is this real? I dont know what to think. Im itching on going shopping but I shouldnt am I right??? oh boy..just cant stop feeling happy.

Generally p.s. positions are not direct hire but through the MOE or recruiters such as Teach Away. You indicated they asked for your phone # but not Skype. Have you been scheduled for an interview? What documents did you provide to them? Did they explain what they meant by "screening for verification"? If the next step is to ask you to prepay for the visa and flight with promises of reimbursement, run the other way. I don't know the website to which you responded but I see lots of red flags waving already. No (legitimate) job worth pursuing can be finalized in a week, especially without an interview process.

PS -thats you*-thank you!

I sent themcopies of my references and certificaties. I worked in the UAE for 4 years at different schools. I am assuming thats what they are checking.

Ok Im glad you replied because I really started to think that I would get the job. But yo u are right..this doesnt sound right.

I was hoping it would be a phone interview but I guess they wont even do that.


soo OK no making payments for any sort of thing. thanks!


few months back someone tried to scam me luckily I called up the people and checked they said no no no...


you know taleem. Through email without interview they gave me another email adress and asked me to start to issue my own visa. SO I found TALEEM's email and emailed them. they said SCAM RUN - nice lady I spoke to

Ill keep you updated..they are taking it really sllow. like the application and until last email theres a bout more than 3 days between each time I was contacted.

ok thanks again take care

The minute that they ask for money for anything, forget them. 99.9% chance it is a scam. Teachers do not arrange their own visas through some guy named Mohammed who accepts payment through Western Union money orders.

There are way too many red flags on this. Any organization that doesn't even bother to interview you before an offer, is not a educational institution that anyone wants to work for.

And for teaching young males in the Emirates? Think reform school... Think inner city... crowd control where you lose. More than border line dangerous.

Stay far far away.

teachaway has great job offers like MOE..unfortunately I couldnt get contacted by them. Many people I know said that they were recruited by them and spoke highly about them. thats why I said that.

as for seek teachers I was contacted twice but unfortunately in both I mixed up papers and they thought I was lying. and lost the opportunity. I have two sets of references. One dated with year only. Ms. x worked at our school from 2012-2013. I renewed those so now it reads: Ms X worked at our school from 09.01.2012-30.07.2013. I mixed both references. so some were like old some were new. I tried to explain but there was no reply.

waves at VS- hope you are wlll.

I understand about without interview part. my question is that is it normal for a public boys school to recruit me. I know the procedure of MOE. I know their forms because of seekteachers. I didnt get any of that. THey didnt say they will call but they did ask for my number so I feel hopeful. From PS I understand this is not normal. sigh sigh


thanks VS and PS

I believe the UAE requires a teaching license/cert. If you don't have one:

Hmm... If you have a teaching license/cert, why has it been so difficult for you to get work in the region? Schools should be eager to hire you.

I don't know. It's not just there even here where I'm from. It's a really bad peri
