| Just because an employer has a big list of requirements doesn't necessarily mean you have to comply with all of them. |
Especially from late August to right about now when the last slots haven't been filled and schools are scrambling. |

cause sometimes the squeaky hinge gets the grease. can be a double edged sword.

Great point. Native speakers are in great demand here - a lot are crap teachers and backpackers - so if you're a native speaker and a good teacher your skills should be rewarded with far more than the first thing that comes along.
Employers will bend the rules to breaking point if they need to hire someone but as wildchild said, it can be a double-edged sword. Mexican employers tend to expect a lot of loyalty in return for doing you a favour by actually giving you what you're entitled to and then get shirty when you don't want to spend the rest of your life working there. |
