--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps this will come as no surprise to any of you, but for newbies, which some of those who reading this unmistakingly are: BEWARE of Millenium Services. They are the epitomy of everything that is wrong with native speaker recruiting. They make contracts guaranteeing more hours than they actually are allowed to offer from the schools they recruit for, and then don't give you your housing allowance because you didn't reach the required amount of hours that they weren't allowed to offer in the first place. The guy is a real creep. Needless to say, stay away from them at all costs, you can get a job at the companies they recruit for without having to go through them. Does anybody else have a horror story, I think everyone should know.

I have heard further horror stories about Millennium Service. By all means, do not work for them. In fact, if you see any job postings on TEFL.com or anywhere else, report it straight away. Thank you for the warning.

Just look at the page on their website which tell you about them:

Quote:

Millennium Service deal with professional mediation between language schools and lecturers feeling like working as a native speaker. Our main task is assurance to polish language schools professionals in teaching English as well as familiarity foreigners with our country, culture and traditions.

We cooperate with one of the best language centres in the whole Poland, among other things: in Torun, Warszawa, Krakow, and many other ones. Our natives are well-educated and reliably prepared to work with students who approach to their job with a great enthusiasm.

We treat each of our partners individually, therefore conditions of cooperation are not strictly settled and are bound by negotiations. Owing to it cooperation with us is for You easy, saves time and brings full satisfaction.

Why on earth would anybody dream of working for a joke outfit like that?!
