Sunshine American School (陽光森林美語) Muzha branch interview

dear prospective english teachers.

I would like to help contribute to the blacklist of schools. Can someone please take note?

Sunshine American School Munzha branch
. A staff member there is one of the rudest and most inconsiderate interviewer I have ever met. My primary source is from my own personal experience after being interviewed by them. I can hardly call it an interview, because I was interrupted more than a dozen times and often before I could even finish my sentence. They interview you at the front desk prone to interruption from phone calls, parents and children. While this may be a norm in small private buxibans, how it was managed by the incompetent staff was by far the worst. The interviewer didn’t even do her homework in printing out my resume in advance, and did not handle the interruptions with any sort of urgency or regard for the fact that I’m in front of her, while she expected me to prepare for a lesson plan to demo after the interview. Talking to her on the phone, I mistook her eagerness for being the green light and thought that the school was in dire need of a teacher immediately and so that’s why I made the trip to the interview.

I walked out of the interview after being interrupted for the 20th-some time saying that this was a completely unprofessional and showed a complete disrespect for my time.

Sounds like a typical interview to me… :unamused:

“The interviewer didn’t even do her homework in printing out my resume in advance…”

Sorry dude. It’s not the interviewer’s job to have the resume ready during the interview. That responsibility belongs to YOU.

I ask the people I interview to do a lesson plan on the fly. It shows me how well they think on their feet, how creative they are, whether or not they’re prepared, but most of all, it tells me how much experience they have.
