One thing that jumps out at me is the "no dressing code" - does this mean you teach in the nude Shocked

There's a lot of detail here but it doesn't actually say much about the job other than you work 6.5 days a week?

Have they asked for any bank details or for you to send money for a visa? Don't do so under any circumstances

The email @worker.com also raises a red flag.

No legitimate school of any real quality standard would send out such a message. Give it a pass.

Obviously a scam... there is no question.

No legitimate employer is going to pay someone $4700 a month without requirements (like a degree? experience? how much?) and especially an interview.

It was obviously written by your friendly neighborhood Nigerian scammer. His next email will direct you to send a money order for a visa.

Just trash it...

the funny thing is that even if it was a legitimate offer I wouldn't take it as the contract they sent me said I have to work Monday to Thursday and Saturday with Friday and Sunday off so I wouldn't want that.

What is this "Sharjah Education Zone" that you are asking about? The ad at the top of this post is an obvious scam using the name of an actual school I believe.

What kind of advertisement are you referring to? What is the offer? What is the name of the supposed employer?

If they say that you have to pay for anything up front... it is a scam.
