Where are all the native speakers?

schoolhrdJakarta

We posted a job for a native speaker some time ago but there have been very few people interested. The job is legal so there are no problems.

I want to ask why we have not got as many people as we want, or is it just there aren't many native speakers in Indonesia after covid?

A lot seem to have gone home after covid, but I have no idea about numbers.

If it is a lack of native speakers, a lot of schools will see the same problems.

Are you in Jakarta?

Interesting topic- any thoughts?

1) You advertise age discrimination---whilst this may not be illegal in Indonesia, I can imagine it being a red flag for other dodgy things an employer might do and personally would not apply for that reason (also, I'm too old, lol).

I can't say much about the rest, but I understand the 'age discrimination' is a maximum age requirement to apply for a work sponsored  KITAS.

I'm a shade out of date, but I gather the age rule is still in place, at least for new employees.

2) While you go into great detail about what you expect from a prospective teacher, you don't advertise a specific salary range. I would be wondering whether such an employer has something to hide.
-@yomutha


The salary will depend on qualifications and experience. We didn't state a definite number because of that, but the salary is competitive.

All legal requirements are met with no exceptions. We are very strict on this.

@Fred
Good point, didn't think of that. It wouldn't be a bad idea to mention that in the advert, however, just to be clear.
-@yomutha

Hopefully they will see your post - you make a good point.


The OP did bring up an interesting point about how many expats went home when covid hit. I wonder if anyone has numbers

I am a professional English Teacher with 16 years experience (S1 in English Teaching), I already sent an email including all the data relevant to my education and background but still got no reply from your school. (the reason maybe because I sent it on 9 August. Still waiting for a reply sir.

In an earlier post, the school said they were strict on official paperwork.

Assuming that's true, getting a visa for you could be difficult as native speakers are supposed to be from one of a very few countries.

@Fred, I am already in Indonesia living on KITAP that is spouse sponsored. They stated there "non-natives are also welcome".

"Requirements:

Preferably a native English speaker (UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand & Canada), but others may be considered based on English language skills, qualifications, and experience."

Fred

I suppose you would have to ask them.
