Compare the two job ads listed below. They are nearly identical in wording. This time around it seems that at least it is not EF using a front to recruit more teachers after they ran their shitty company into the ground, but this time it is a supposed international school with a long history of trouble. You will notice that in the first ad in bold print the recruiter is withholding the name of the school for now...

Keep a sharp eye on these damn recruiters. They are shifty and tricky and many of them are peddling used cars with a lot of miles on them and no engine under the hood. Anytime a school can not be forthcoming with their true name there is a serious problem and the school must be avoided at any and all costs. I compared these ads from this Web site and from Dave's ESL. The total time it took me was about 5-minutes once I thought I saw a familiar ad on another Web site. A little bit of prevention can keep you from ending up in a bad job at a bad school with a bad reputation.

It seems as though the school and the recruiter both drink from the same well and neither can spell or use grammar correctly.
