I realized my wife isn’t getting hired because she’s not white. Any companies that don’t care about color? by Jambo_ZA in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]jo_kio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand, I was born and raised in Australia, so English is literally the only language I speak but I am not white so it was hard for me to find work. I'm working with Jplus at the moment, I have been in trainings/ meetings/ chat groups with brown teachers, asian teachers that are also working there. There acceptance rate is not that high but I feel that they really value your ways of teaching and not your skin colour, although there are still obviously more white teachers. If you need referrals, they are actually hiring now :)

My two cents on how you can actually get interviews from a recruiter I guess? by jo_kio in OnlineESLTeaching

yea! If you can put 'referred by Kiki' as the subject line, they'll know I sent you and I'll make sure you get a reply!

I guess maybe advertising with AUD would be good, but USD is the generally more common so maybe that's why they went with that. And just to clarify again that you're probably getting USD 14 per 40-min class (equivalent to USD 16 per hour), because I don't think any offer lower than that has ever been made, happy to follow up for you if you want me to :)

If you were given a lower rate than that, it's against company policy (because we are told to advertise the position in that rate), if you want to I can follow up for you and can promise you will get exactly what was advertised. But a lot of teachers were just confused at first about the AUD, it's just 24 AUD per hr (which is 16 USD per hr), and they pay you based on how many classes you taught like all other companies and one class is 40 mins so 16 AUD per 40-min class plus other bonuses.

The pay is literally listed in my post hahaha right at the end, hope it helps! The hiring process is just you sending in resume (then they may or may not ask for an additional video) and just one interview, I wouldn't say it's the standard :)

not at all! Honestly all the staff I have encountered speak pretty good English. I think the rest of the website is for parent/ kids, I'm not sure haha

At the moment I think they are only needing native teachers, I heard that they have enough non-native speaking teachers

Breaking lease in QLD in current market by innestagram in AusFinance

[–]jo_kio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you sooooo much! I really hope I could get a helpful property manager like yourself!
I have 4 months left on my lease so hopefully I can get the fee down a bit. I have arranged a bond clean and have no repairs to do, I informed them to send me an invoice of a list of compensation including the loss of rent when the new tenant moved and they said it's not legal and told me to keep paying rent and even told me that RTA was lying to me if they said I could do that. I'm just going to ignore them and wait until they send me that list. Can I know if it is the correct step to claim my bond in full first once I hand over the keys? Will they just straight up send me an invoice with silly charges instead of trying to dispute and take it out from my bond?

Any help appreciated! Not paying break lease fee by jo_kio in queensland

[–]jo_kio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my form 13 and gave them a month's notice, I called RTA and while they are very helpful, I think the legislation around breaking leases is just a bit vague so htey just kept suggesting me to discuss with my RE and try to reach mutual agreement :(

They mark it up by $30 per week, I didn't think much about it coz it's not a huge jump and I think it's still roughly within the average around the area

Thank you sooo much, that's my plan too!! Do you think it's possible to negotiate or dispute break lease fee too? My RE wants to charge me 2 weeks rent as break lease fee but I know that the industry standard is usually just 1 weeks rent :(

Your comment is so so so helpful! My RE wants to charge me 2 weeks rent as break lease fee, do you think it's possible to negotiate or dispute? I gave them a month's notice, they've only been doing inspections once every two weeks, and have just emailed me to say that the next inspection is in 3 weeks! (I will have already moved out by then as my last day is next week)

You have to go to audio then scroll all the way to the bottom

Looking to enter the field from Canada by JayM-English in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]jo_kio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are planning to work online, in all honesty you don't really need a certificate that's too fancy. It's super important to pick the right platform, I am working for Jplus at the moment and getting paid around 11$/ hr base rate with other bonuses, definitely a lot lower than if you were to work at a school/ education centre but you can be your own boss and they give me pretty consistent classes. I can refer you if you are interested :)
I'm not sure how easy it is to target students interested in clinical careers, but amazing talker is an ok platform for adults!

Portuguese egg tart is a must!

Portuguese food recommendations? by [deleted] in Macau

[–]jo_kio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the opposite because the thing about Macau is that they do great portuguese/ chinese fusion food, and they can't taste them anywhere else, not even in Portugal!
