I was more or less guaranteed a face to face interview back when I did my phone interview and now nothing. No contact or anything. It's not an acceptable way to treat people

hey I just heard this morning that I have an interview next week.. anyone else have an interview on friday? theres still time for everyone to hear!!

Congrats Megan. To be honest I'm just really annoyed at the lack of communication. I don't understand why they can't just email people around the same time to say yes you are having an interview or no you are not having an interview. It is highly unprofessional of them. I haven't heard anything for while now despite being told that I would have an interview and being asked where I want the interview to take place

Thanks when did u have your skype interview?

I only had my skype interview Feb 3rd so maybe they are notifying people in order of the skype interviews. Here's hoping!!!

Hi all,

I had my Skype interview last Monday (the 10th), I had to reschedule my original interview for personal reasons. At end of interview I asked when would I know if I was successful or not through to the next stage, he said I would know in a few weeks,

He said I will probably be too late for face to face interviews but they may come back to Ireland again later in the year but if they don't I may just have to do another Skype interview. My HR manager notified me this week that Sabis were looking for a reference so I am taking that as positive.

If I don't hear anything from them in the next week or so, I will drop them an email and enquire but just got to be patient and positive.

Best of luck to anyone waiting for news, remember it is only March! I know a friend of a friend who got offered Dubai last August so stay positive!!

They rang me today and told me I have to fill out all the forms asap that they emailed me. They only emailed them two days ago. I don't know what that means but doesn't guarda clearance take a few weeks?

I was sent an email with the contract and my interview was for half two tomorrow, I say was because Mazen rang me at four today telling me I was being pushed froward to half eleven. I said ok cos Im getting the train into Heuston at half ten. Then he rang back and said I'd be in at ten am..but I pushed it back to half eleven. I think I'm prepared..i hoping to get Dubai if Im lucky. A bit nervous now though all the same.

good luck to you all. I still have heard nothing. Anyone else know if the interviews are continuing into next week and has anyone been notified this week about next week???? Would be good to know one way or the other.

flyingfinn

Havent heard anything either, still hoping!

Johnnythefox4

Well, that's me out of the race. I got the ole thank you for your continued interest, if a suitable vacancy comes up bla bla bla

I had to send three emails and ring them to get that response


Very dissapointed as I was told I would have a face to face interview on the phone by the recruiter back in September, and told by email back in January that they would email me the date and time for the face to face interview.

They really do treat people like crap

Had the interview today. It was extremely informal, very easy going and relaxed. More or less if you have the interview you get the job. Dubai isnt being offered as an option but that didnt bother me. I signed the contract then and there. I was told he'd email me a blank email and I had to send back four choices of schools i wanted and they'd try to give me my preference. They seem to prefer non PDE students...well I got that impression....

Pity they don't tell us teachers that from the beginning...would save alot of time and work collecting all the documents needed etc.

Strange!

Hi Everyone,

i had my 2nd skype interview with Tarek and felt it went really well.

He mentioned that i would have a face to face interview in April and they would notify me.

I've sent two email since, but have not had any reply as yet.

does anyone know when the London interviews begin?

Thanks

Niz

He just chatted about his experience..how you thought about how we teach here compared to SABIS...then asked if you'd be comfortable in new culture. He joked about my dip in human rights..so the conversation was sociological basically..he jokes and really eases your nerves. It's relaxed...I think for some PDE students it's the different methods that can be difficult to overcome but I know a few PDE students who are now going. I know of some who's references didn't get done.

Did you choose your schools yet? Do your research into the locations, PM me if you want advice.

Has anyone who is not a PDE student heard back re face to face interviews?
