Hello,

I've been using these forums for information recently and felt it was time to make my own post. I am currently discussing teaching options with ThinkOutside Recruiting and actually have scored an interview for tonight. It is my girlfriend and I applying jointly and we both want to work at the same school and live in the same area if at all possible. We've been talking to one recruiter from thinkoutside and she asked us if we've thought about working in an American Village (thoughts?). But she also just sent us an email yesterday (located below) about a position she thinks we may be interested in. I'm from the States and my Girlfriend is from Canada and currently we've only emailed her our resume's. The recruiter said that a State background check will be suitable (rather than an FBI) for this position. It starts in December as well. Does this sound legit? Anyone else use thinkoutside? Thoughts opinions? Any information on the area? Please help if you can, I want to make sure we're getting a good offer. Thanks! Oh, and what does "No Kindie" mean?

The description seems legit, but you won't be able to tell for sure until you have an interview with the hagwon's owner.
