 |
|
| Hi, just wondering if anyone can provide some light on this situation. I applied for this ESL job in Medan, and everything was signed and sorted when i received an email detailing that i was too young (22 years old) and that the age requirement is at least 25. Can anyone confirm this? I did look on the net but couldn't find anything like it. Help?? Cheers |

| It is true - legal age for permitting in this kind of job is 25-60yrs. |

| I have also heard that teachers over 60 years old could be hired if their work visa position title was something similar to "director of studies" or "principal". |

| You are right, they should. Many already specify which nationalities they can legally recruit so it would be easy to put age limits there too. |

Except this about age . . . in some countries with age limits, especially for upper limits, the immigration authorities *can* issue a work visa if a school/company needs a particular person badly and can make a case for the hire.
"Making a case" may involve everything from requesting it formally in writing to paying something "outside normal channels". Each location and each case would be different. |

Yes. Quite separately Malaysia specifies a similar age range (26-55) as well. |

this upsets me!!!! i've been doing research for months on working in Indonesia and even though some jobs want you to be atleast 25 the majority do not even mention age!!!! I'm soon to be 23 so thats indo out of the question. Anyone recommend another good place to start out for a native speaker with a degree (BSc Forensic Science) and a trinity certTESOL? I am not too fussed about pay, aslong as its enough to live off and the weather is better than England!
Cheers,
Dan. |
