Anyone got any info on this part-time work guy Prof. Mac?

Seems like he advertises jobs, but he never puts a pay rate and tries to get you to agree to insanely low wages.

In cases like this, we need to use the ESL Teaching Standard Formula version 323.3434 (first release).

Typically, one would use this and come to the conclusion to not take the job. Do you have any specific examples to show us so we can use a different formula to come to a different result?

My research shows this guy is Canadian Korean and hires part-time (F visa holders), so he would be paying less and he wouldn't be offering as many of the other things E2 visa holders look for.

What exactly are you expecting from him, and what exactly is he telling you? More info would supply more oodles of fun on this forum for us.

The guy was very push to me. I emailed him once and he called me back a few minutes to midnight. Who calls that late on business? Then he starts being really pushy about a job demanding documents and copies of my ARC before I've even seen the school, heard the schedule or the pay. I told him thanks, but no thanks. Then he called me again a few days later, again around midnight. I told him to not bother calling me anymore. I heard from another guy who actually met him in person, and again, the word pushy was used to describe him.

I tell him I want this one job.

He calls me talking about another job.

He never quotes a rate.

And the bottom line is I talk to the guy 6 times and no job comes of it.

I talk to another recruiter once, and one visit to their office and then I'm working.

This guy has you on a question-asking goofy merry-go-round to nowhere.

I have to agree with what everyone else has said so far. I sent him an email about a job. He rang on a Saturday lunchtime. When I didn't pick up initially he kept ringing and ringing. He even sent me an email asking why I wasn't picking up - all within the space of an hour. I ended up calling him back and was on the receiving end of a series of personal questions about what I had been doing. He was practically shouting down the phone to me. I just ended up saying I wasn't interested. He kept emailing me over the next few days asking why I didn't want the job. When I went into work on the Monday, I found out he had called my supervisor on the Saturday to ask about me. Pretty embarassing!

I kept seeing the same job advertised over the next couple of months so I nearly sent him an email telling him it was his style that was most likely putting people off but decided against it since there was t anything in it for me.
