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!
