A friend of mine got an interview but so far the location is "undisclosed". I don't know if the school is open yet, or just keeping quiet. Anyway, the email address is MOD EDIT@hotmail.com. I dont know anything about it other than that you NEED to be qualified-I think "qualified" means a real teacher or a degree and some esl qual. It wouldnt hurt to try it out!

hotmail address? IMHO that sends up a big red flag - have I seen them used in the past? Yes, but not by professional organizations

So you don't know where it is... or even if it exists... but you are on here trying to run a free advertisement for them?? Shocked I see the MODs have edited out the "hotmail" address. If it is a legitimate institution and acceptable job, let them run an ad and tell people what and where the darn place is... pay, benefits, job requirements.

Bet it originates from Nigeria and there will be a request for a 'fee' for processing a visa.

every now and then, you get an organization that is amazingly incompetent about e-mail processing and servers - and bright supervisors revert to personal/commercial e-mail vendors.

(of course - that level of incompetence is a fairly clear warning signal)

In general, I think I'd ignore hotmail solicitations - unless it came from someone I knew.

incompotent/incompotence

That's a nice one. Means impotent in the context of com(munication)?
Just guessing...

I don't know if the generic email address is necessarily a warning - a company's email on a server like Outlook gets easily bogged down and will close after an hour when 100 applicants send in their mails with 10 MB attachments.

I am no techie but I don't think the option of the private mail means that the company or the supervisor is incompetent?? Maybe you guys are a wee bit cynical.............?

2 cents worth.....

I could be wrong, but that response sounds just a wee bit cynical.
