Does anyone have any information on Gepiks April intake?

For example:

When will the visa packages be sent out for Aprils Intake?
Is there any reason why they may not have been recieved yet?
How long does an Embassy take to process a visa application?

etc.

1. When will the visa packages be sent out for Aprils Intake?
2. Is there any reason why they may not have been recieved yet?
3. How long does an Embassy take to process a visa application?

Ramen, I wished to know if anyone had answers to these questions and as nobody seemed to have answered I made the question "nobody knows?"

I may have written it as "Doesn't anybody know?" Though I thought it may have been understandable to most people, though you seem to think not.

there isnt really an intake per se during april. basically they are just going to be filling positions from teachers that did a runner, quit, or their contract is up after someone else did a runner or quit last april. so the dates are all going to be different, and vacancies can open/close all the time. so there arent any specific dates.

Thanks for that information.

I wish I had been told that a month ago, it might have made me reconsider my plans.

Don't post job referrals and advertising jobs in public to each other. It is a violation of the TOS. Should you do that in private, it's another matter, but Dave's is not meant to be used for public advertising for free via the forums by individual users...

It could mean nothing but you never know. It could be likely that you're filling in for runners. It could be a bad school or it could have been a "teacher" who wasn't ready for the situation (being overseas). When you get there, just understand that there could be raw feelings over the runners.

Thanks for that Wylie.

I didn't consider that point. I guess I will have to just take it easy with them and see whats said around me.

The teachers may not tell you what happened or tell you right away. Just play it cool and understand that it could have happened. Ask the students about the last teacher. They'll tell you everything they know if they like you. You can fill in the blanks from there.
