Interesting if that was actually the job ad title. I know when I first came here I took a job from a recruiter and accepted less pay than I otherwise could have gotten because I knew at least i'd be well taken care of as they had a good reputation. I think it's the same for a lot of people, take a pay cut for your first year to get your feet wet and make sure you're safe and have some back-up if something bad happens.
With that being said i'd be skeptical of any job ad that makes that their only marketable quality. We'll send you right in the middle of hell and you'll be sleeping on rocks but at least you'll be safe. |

I would be skeptical of any school that cannot even place an ad without spelling and/or grammatical errors.
Besides, what is the school saying: "Other schools are not safe"?
Yes, funny ad. |

Naw, they're trying to appeal to minimalists. Less is more, right? |

With all respect and absolutely no ridicule intended, the first thing that popped into my mind was "WE ARE THE BORG".
"WE ARE NOT THE ONE.......THEY ARE THE ONE.......YOU WILL JOIN WITH THE ONE....." |

In truth, it did spring to mind (the Borg) but I didn't want to sound nerdy and tell everyone. I get enough people shaking their heads at my posts without confusing any others. |

I wonder if that is a Chinglish chicken? If so, my wife wouldn't let me take that job... but seeing as there is one bedroom, any single guy should jump at the offer.  |
