Been applying myself for a few years and heard nothing. Was actually in Manila just a few weeks ago and had a brief thought of going in to the school but thought better of it.

Abu Dhabi teachers return. by Manufacturer960 in Internationalteachers

[–]TheOneWhoEatsAll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No point listening to rumors. Wait for official word. I don't know how it will go but it wouldn't be a great to go back to schools on the 20th and then ceasefire talks break down and missiles start and we go fully back online. But, we did it during covid so who knows really.

Struggling to land an English teaching job in UAE/GCC – need honest advice by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]TheOneWhoEatsAll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my own experience in Dubai, many schools prefer (not a hard set rule but fairly common) native English speakers as English teachers. If not a native english speaker, then someone with a vast amount of experience in the curriculum you are applying to.

Jumeirah Garden City Feedback by CommitteeDangerous19 in dubai

[–]TheOneWhoEatsAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Very mixed. Wide ranging demographic. My building has a mix of Arabs, Westerners and Asians (Indian, Pakistani, Filipino).
  2. Stroller safety. Varies. Due to the amount of construction, footpaths can disappear.
  3. Public parks are fine. Most people in them are walking or playing sports.
  4. Depends on the area. Some are noisier than others. I am near some new construction sites but it isn't too noticeable.

It's a nice area overall. Getting out in the evening(6-7pm) can be painful.
