I have to confess that I let out a loud snigger on reading the following job advertisement on the website of those charlatans Tefl.com.
"Berlitz International, Inc. is among the world leaders in the field of language learning services. We have 475 language schools in over 60 countries and live up to an excellent reputation thanks to our high quality standards.
We are currently looking for English Mother Tongue Teachers in Rome and Milan.
10 full time positions available immediately in Rome".
Take a look at the Berlitz Japan section to read all about their "high standards". So they need ten teachers do they? There must have been a mass walkout. The words bull and sh*t spring to The Inspector's mind.

About Me
Welcome to the TEFL Blacklist. And, yes - it's black! In fact, this blog is for all you angry EFL teachers out there - and I know there must be a good number of you! If you've suffered at the hands of a rogue employer, a dodgy DOS, or a pain-in-the-arse Principal, then this is your chance to get your own back. If you have a story to tell post it briefly in the section marked NOMINATE A SCHOOL FOR BLACKLISTING. There should be a hyperlink at the bottom of most posts. Add your comments to whichever thread you happen to want to add a contribution and then simply copy and then paste it in the section entitled "Chronological Postings" as well. Don't forget to add a note explaining where the original was posted. That way people can, if they choose, simply read all the postings made to all the threads in chronological order.

The comedian Eddie Izzard is unique. "He is the first to admit that he gets well paid for talking total bollocks. The good pay is because, unlike the bollocks most of us talk, it's funny"

I was offered work at Berlitz Milan. I left another school to work there because I was assured I had a job. They told me I had to come in on Monday for "training". It turned out to be 2 weeks of full-time UNPAID training. Then they gave me a timetable with 6 hours of lessons, aside from the fact that their payrate was terrible.
