Good morning, all!

I have been interviewing with various schools, and wanted to know if anyone is familiar with Compass Education (based in HCMC)? If so, I would love to hear your impressions. Thank you for sharing.

Take care.

I was never able to gather further information about the school. I did interview with them, but they never followed through after the interview. This is just as well, because I didn't get a good feeling from my interview. Still, I'd be curious to know how your interview goes, please send me a PM or post to the forum. Good luck!

Well they've jerked me around so much over one measly skype interview that i'm going to give up on them. Friday it was rescheduled because the director was caught in a storm (?), then it was rescheduled for Monday, but in the email they put Monday 15th which is next Monday which I presumed was some kind of a mistake only to be emailed again today asking if the meeting could be delayed by an hour.
I'm very much of a 'snooze you lose' mentality. So I give up on them!
Plenty more schools in the sea after all Smile

Well, it would seem by both of our experiences, and by the lack of feedback on this forum, that Compass Education is not so reliable. I wish you the best of luck in your job search!

Not hearing about them, plus them not being able to schedule a simple phone interview PLUS interviewing someone from overseas

= Big Red Flags
