 Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 4:11 am Post subject: And You Thought Chinglish Job Ads Were Bad! |
 |
|
So I'm in Thailand at the moment on a short holiday, well a little longer than expected but it's OK.
A friend sent me some job information on positions near Bangkok. I'm not terribly interested in working here, but just interested in the scene. A lot more jobs than I expected. But some of the ads, holy moly, they're worse than Chinglish!! Here's an example, with all employer names withheld, using snippets of the relevant points:
Sad to say, I had to turn this one down:
| ad wrote: |
| We are looking for 20 Native teachers for this program. We provide a good accommodation. good salary,good bonus,good school and good taking care for good teachers who want to teach for our students. |
| ad wrote: |
| These schools are in the centra of Thailand. |
| ad wrote: |
| If the school agree that you are friendly and hare no problem with Thai culture and you are popular for the students and teachers. Then you get bonus 3,000 baht for trarel. |
| ad wrote: |
| All teachers have to take teaining course from company, to train about teaching at the school, Activities that teacher must do, Thai culture, and the schools. |
| ad wrote: |
When you work with as you do not worry about everything.
Don't believe I until you come and see. |
This gives us hope for the Chinese employers, who make mistakes in their English ads, but not even close to this bad!

At the low end of the range, but hardly off the scale.

The last line sounds like truth in advertising |
