Is teaching for Gems' schools a good idea?

[nathlavallee38]

Hi!

I've applied for many French teaching jobs in Dubai and I've recently been contacted by Gems . Is there anybody who could give me info about GEMS reputation and its affiliated schools like:

Dubai American Academy
GEMS Royal Dubai School
Cambridge International School
GEMS Wellington Intern. School
GEMS World Academy.

I would also need information about salary average.

Thanks
Nath

Hey Nathalie,

I don't have the answer to your question mais avec ce nom je dirais qu'il y a 99,8% de chances que tu sois québécoises! lol content de voir que je ne serai pas le seul!

Moi tou essssti hahaha dude I haven't said that word in the longest time! THanks for making me feel as though I was back home

Hi Nath. Depending on the level of experience the salary package varies (I think that's self-explanatory), however it can start from like 10,000AED inclusive accommodation + insurance to 25,000AED with the same benefits. Depends who you likes you most.

Dubai: where image is everything (that should be the slogan).

Off Topic Note* One of my friend's colleague at work (some idiot) an American, a former night club bouncer .. never went to Uni or College and is a marketing director for an inssurance company stacking 100,000AED a month! You believe that crap?

Haha ya that's a typical line around here! lol

Euhh how did your friend secure a job that pays 100 000aed a month without a degree? Is it cuz he looks good or talks slick or something? That would be amazing if ever I could secure something like this!

Je suis encore a Montreal en ce moment, I'm moving to Dubai in January, and YES it's getting fr*akin' cold around here! I can't wait to leave, yet I'm sad to leave my family, friends and colleagues behind. Oh well, you gotta risk some to get some!

Ottawa & Montreal.

I been here for 2 years, but 3 in total including frequent visits to Dubai.

Khaled; you just gotta mingle with the right people, although a large number of people in Dubai talk out of there ass, so you can't believe everything you hear or see.

Nope, no job yet, I havent had a vacation in 5 years so im planning to take my first 2 weeks in dubai off, then start looking for a job, unless somebody tells me it's better to do otherwise (read: JoeyDee ). Je voulais travailler comme agent/courtier immobilier mais comme le marché est mort je vais surement appliquer pour un poste en hotellerie, conformément a ce que je fais comme boulot en ce moment. What about you? Got a job lined up as of yet?
