Hi there, i([color="Red"]I[/color]) am posting this to any people out there who might be operating, or managing an english school.
i([color="red"]I[/color]) work at a small english school and have had to deal with issues related to bad hiring. I've come to realize that mere University degrees are either nto([color="red"]not[/color]) enough, or simply not relevant.
So i([color="red"]I[/color]) was wondering if other people out there might have some ideas as to waht([color="red"]what[/color]) i([color="red"]I[/color]) should look for to make the hiring processes a bit less directionless.
Right now, the director that i([color="red"]I[/color]) work for doesn't seem to have much fo([color="red"]of[/color]) a clue, and we've has([color="Red"]had[/color]) some pretty bad hires, they looked good on paper, and sounded good on a skype interview but they absolutely sucked when it came doen([color="red"]down[/color]) to the actual teaching. I noticed someone else on the board was wondering about things like TESL or TOEFL or what ever. Are these sort of qualifications considered good at all?
does([color="red"]Does[/color]) anyone know?

If you don't do anything.....At least hire someone that has better spelling capabilities than you. With all due respect, if you want to at least "look" legitimate, at least proofread what you write.

what i am finding is that most people ( even the ones that interview well) are merely people out of school who can't find a job in their respective countries, or people who are merely trying to finance their extended vacations here in Japan.

Amoung many of the poor hiring practices at my school, no one really does a background check on the cert. Would a prospective employer
actually contact the organization that administered the certification and ask them to check their records for the applicant's diploma or whatever?
i'm curious about how people with these fake certifications get hired, and how they get caught.
Gosh i really do feel naive.
