    Re: ESL Jobs, cant get hired either!!!
    Posted by Inga Swenson on 9/02/08

    Henry: Yes, I saw the same ads for ESL instructors here in
    MN. However, we normally hire local talent primarily thru
    cronyism and nepotism. Even though by law we must publicize
    the openings via newspapers and online classifieds, most of
    the time we know whom we wish to hire in advance. Seems to
    be the present mode of operations in many of the school
    districts across this great country of ours.

    However, human resources here are known for making frequent
    blunders and perhaps you might find yourself a position in
    MN where "all the women are strong, all the men are good
    looking, and all the children are above average." I think
    that about says it all, yup!
