Nobody is badgering him, they're replying to his posts. He posts in a forthright manner that often leads to people questioning it. Yes it's often the same people as there aren't that many that post on this subject matter and others may not be gather the attention SILH does but again that comes down to someone posting opinion as facts, who then doubles back on himself in several ways.
Plenty folks touring. Just that looking into the future the two event and venue management companies that my son works with, and that tour managers for bands contact to arrange UK venues etc, have started to hear that some bands are not going to be including the UK...at least for the time being.
sure... but you do know there will be more hassle don't you
You’ve dressed it up a bit, who says he’s posting in a “forthright manner” that’s how you read them!
..and BiL is already finding that EU schools seems to be less interested... And he has contacts in the schools that seem to confirm his fears. It might be his age of course - but for TEFL?sure... but you do know there will be more hassle don't you
I'm not bitter and I am not old - thank you
My BiL is certainly bitter, and my son is p'd off but getting on with it and keeping his fingers crossed.
Feel free to disagree, but people are entitled to question integrity of a post or poster especially when posting opinion as fact.
Never said you actually were, just how I picture you when reading your posts.I'm not bitter and I am not old - thank you
Then I’d politely suggest you take his “facts” with a pinch of salt.
My BiL has been a TEFL teacher for over 15yrs now in China. Part of his current role is recruiting foreign teachers. Doing TEFL in Europe is the easy option, close to the UK, easy to get home, cheap flights, local languages relatively manageable, and because of this Europe has a glut of people looking to teach there. Younger people in particular like this option before going home and getting a proper job. The vacancies are further afield, often in the Far East. Thinking you can rock up at 62, sadly not attractive to a head on the whole, and walk into a teaching job in Europe is optimistic based on my BiL experiences, they are the plum jobs.
Unfortunately it’s had a affect on a number of my colleagues- loss of a big contract and 10 jobs lost plus more to come ?
Indeed they seem to be. He has spent most of the last 25yrs teaching and building his experience and qualifications in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar - maybe even a short time in Japan. His aim was to get a decent 'final' role in an EU school. He gets occasional 'out of term time' jobs in UK unis - but they are for at the most 10weeks at a time and those that are kept on into term time are those who have been there - obviously. A difficult nut to crack. I'm not sure why his age should count against him as it takes time to get the experience - though I suspect that it does. But it does seem to be the case that his contacts tell him what's happening in the EU market.
Me either. I suppose that is the game he is in though, as is my BiL. I have no envy of his life at all but it suits him and that is all that matters.
I don't suppose its because hes not that good? Just asking.
What will you spend it on
So are you waiting till end of December then when Brexit deals finally complete because none of what you've posted os going to change tonight. People still believe in what they choose to, whilst I agree with what you posted simply none of that's going to change opinions on what people voted for or personal opinions.
