this lady who worked for us was very strange and an oddity she has the little man syndrome and never cooperated although we gave her housing and we gave her all her salries she dealt in a very odd way with our students and she kept replying for any problem (I do not know teach me) she did not send the right information about her when we hired her and she should have been clear about her shape she kept a metal ball hanging from her tongue although very little which was not suitable at all and according to the contract she has to pay us 1300 Jds for she apilied for a nothe job in Jordan during her work in our centre which is against to the terms of the contract and we gifted her 400 Jds above all her salaries as a help from our side but she never understood that we did recieve her at the airprt upon arrival to Jordan we drove her to aqaba 400 kelometers far and she was invited to all our homes to put her at ease but her attitude was so odd we hope her all the best and we hope that she changes her mystrious ways
good luck and all the best Miss viniger
I flew halfway around the world to teach English at University Center in Aqaba, Jordan. The Center is owned by two brothers named Ziad and Rashas Qassaymeh.
The work term was a one year contract, and I was supposed to earn 600 JD per month (about $1000) in addition to being provided with accomodation free of charge.
The following is my account of the events and working conditions at University Center in Aqaba.
* EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED AND UNPROFESSIONAL WORK ENVIRONMENT
* SALARY OFTEN PAID LATE BECAUSE THE OWNERS FORGOT IT WAS MY PAYDAY
* THEY COULD BARELY SCRAPE TOGETHER ENOUGH STUDENTS FOR ME TO TEACH TWO CLASSES
* I WAS FREQUENTLY REQUIRED TO PERFORM MENIAL WORK (IE. UNRELATED TO TEACHING) IN THE CENTER
* THEY CANCELLED MY CONTRACT AFTER 2.5 MONTHS
* WHEN I LEFT, THEY WITHHELD A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MY SALARY FOR 'TAX PURPOSES' AND SAID I COULD POSSIBLY RECLAIM IT LATER
* THEY IGNORED ALL OF MY SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM
My advice: don't work for these kniving weasels.
