Hi there,

I know this post is from last year but I was wondering if you could let me know how you got on and if you decided to go? I have been offered a position as a classroom teacher starting 2011 which I am very excited about so any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

heya. yes i decided to go, year almost up now.. I am a grade one teacher teaching 6year olds, its grand, but next year i hope to move to another grade because of my past experince teaching older kids, cant handle 6 year olds anymore, they are way too needy.. !!!!! pm me if you have any things you want to ask

Hi to both of ye

I was wondering you enjoyed it over there. I just applied myself but I have a few questions that I think only those who were there can answer!
Is it strict rules for women to wear covered up clothing?
Is the accomodation that they put you up in nice?
would either of you know if I would be able to bring my partner along with me to stay there too?
is it okay to go swimming in the sea or again, are women restricted to doing things like this?
and last question, is the working for everyone sunday to Thursday or is it just the schools?
Sorry about all the questions.
I would really appreciate it if one or both of you could get back to me. Thanks a million

were you talking to them in UL today aswell?

Surfalicious · 08-03-2012 05:53PM

Yeah I was!:cool:Well the woman wasn't very clear about anything so I just gave her my CV and decided I'd look it up at home, but the website is not the best either...you can look it up on google maps

Dean Moriarty · 08-03-2012 09:09PM

do you know when they are going to get back to us? i hope soon.

Surfalicious · 08-03-2012 10:44PM

Nope she didn't say much just smiled at me (kinda freaky if you ask me). I'm not even sure if i'd take it I want to go travelling the world first.. :rolleyes:

They're looking for someone with a diploma in education right?

Not exclusively afaik. I know a girl who was in my marketing class 2010 whos been over there for the last couple of years and the guy that was there said they're taking people from all disciplines. I'm doing a CELT course atm though and he said that'd be a definite advantage.

It must be a general application thing. They might be sounding people out. I wonder if there is an e-mail address or something. Hmmm. Right.

I have a friend over there, her degree is in Leisure from. As far as I remember 20+ young Irish started there in September. Money isnt great in year 1 but you get great bonuses if you stay on (gets better by the year apparently).. She would recommend it anyway

Just got an email back from the Al Najah school this morning. I have a Skype interview next week for a position as an English teacher.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on what I'll need to know/say for the interview or any tips in general?

Mary1988 · 09-05-2012 06:05PM

Got offered a job in this school aswell. it seems pure dodge. Does anyone have any friends in this school who have taught there. do we get training or are we just thrown in the deep end.

shamcga · 09-05-2012 06:12PM

No clue but it's gonna be unreal I found out loads it's not dodge im going to

niamhl90 · 09-05-2012 07:01PM

I was just offered a job today as well and I only applied yesterday?? I applied for Sabis over a month ago and I still haven't been offered a position (or been told I didn't get it), how can this school do it so fast? very dodge if you ask me!
Has anyone been sent the contract yet? what's it like?

shamcga · 09-05-2012 07:20PM

They're on the second round of interview everyone I've been talking to said there the best to work for and theres 25 teachers over there. Think there tryin to get them all sorted! Apparently there really easy going and it's close to the city kinda and the apartments are mean to be lovely I'm going and I know of four other people near where I live going

Mary1988 · 08-07-2012 06:59PM

Got an email saying my application was rejected by the ministry of education. I actually cant believe it, It seems so unprofessional. I seen quiet a few people got sent the same email. What am I meant to do now, I have turned down jobs and not applied for masters because I believe I had this job. I emailed them but no email back.

collopy1989 · 08-07-2012 09:07PM

hey mary thats really weird,where do u go to college,i was offered a place back in may but i didnt accept as i have commitments here,my best friend was there in this school for 2 years and is just home,she really liked it. I got offered the job and I didnt even have any kind of interview,all I did was email my friend my cv in March and she gave it to someone in the school and in May I had an email offering me a job??!!bit weird like isnt it,

Mary1988 · 09-07-2012 08:31AM

I went to college in the University of Limerick. Ya I know it is very weird, the email was sent to several people so its not only me in this situation. I have emailed them back but no reply. Is there any one out there who might know someone to contact in the school? Thanks

shamcga · 09-07-2012 10:39AM

I don't understand how can that happen? Did u get ur degree certified by the embassy and all? What position. Were u meant to have over there?

Mary1988 · 09-07-2012 11:56AM

No I didnt get my degree certified by the embassy because when I sent off my documents to them, I had not finished college and did not have my final results. I know other people though who also only sent there latest results the same time as me and they have not been told the same news I have been told. I dunno what to do and cant get in contact with Raj as he wont email me back.

collopy1989 · 09-07-2012 01:33PM

whats your email address Mary?email me your number to my email

gtlmullen · 09-07-2012 02:58PM

I got the same email telling me I had been rejected. Absolutely sickened about it. Emailed Raj a few days ago to see why i was rejected and if there was anything I could do and he hasn't emailed me back. Know another lad in same situation. Nice of them to leave it this late.
