hi all,

Would just like to warn everyone not to work at this school if the oppourtunity arises.....

I finished working for them at the start of this month(may 2010).
Throughout the 6 months that i worked for them I had to bargain for my pay, I did not get paid on time for the whole time i worked there, and when pay day arrived my boss was magically too busy to answer his phone, except for when I used a vietnamese member of staffs phone to trick him into speaking to me.

I have just landed a job with another school, however it has taken me 3 weeks to get my passport back from eduworld and by the look of things I wont be getting my certificates back without a struggle because they have not paid the agency what they owe them for obtaining my work permit, (my work permit was not arranged in the end, after 5 months of unanswered questions about the progress of it)

I have spent 6 months living on a low wage and also being uncertain about whether i would be paid atall most months. I was lied to throughout and only realised last month that I was being paid 1 dollar lower than I thought, the contract was written in a clever way.It all ended by both of us coming to an agreement where i got paid what they owed me and also I ended up paying for my own visa as they "couldnt afford to pay it"....

I know its not the worst horror story you will hear on this site but just thought I should warn any potential eduworld teachers that if you are looking for security in this very unsecure country then stay away from Eduworld.
