Hi guys,

   I submitted my application for teaching in Hong Kong and on my dashboard it says that my application is "submitted" under the Active tab but also says "closed" under the closed tab. Does that mean my application is still under review? Or has the positions been filled?

 

Thanks for your help!

    Hi dear
    I have submitted my application for teaching in Qatar and on my dashboard it says my application is 'submitted' under the active tab. It also says 'closed' under the closed tab. I have completed my profile 100%. The job start date is February 2016.The job i applied is still stated in the job featured. Now I'm really confused. Does that mean my application is still under review ? Or has the positions been filled? I would really appreciate ur reply. Thank you. Sangeet

    Hi Jeffrey,

    Just checked and it seems that for the two jobs you have applied for, one of them is closed and the other is submitted (pending review).

    Cheers,
    Janice

    Hi!

    I was wondering when one could expect contact after the initial pre-screening interview? From what I've been able to decipher from the website and forums, it seems as though 5-10 business days are the norm. Is that still the case? There were two jobs I felt like I was well qualified for, but have not been contacted. However, all hope is not lost! There is something out the for me!

    Hi James,
    Thanks for your question. I just checked with your placement coordinator, and it seems the leadership positions for ADEC are on hold at this moment, but we will definitely get back to you as soon as possible.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Janice, I have the same problem as Nancy. I applied and within a week i noticed it had marked them as closed. Does that mean I'm not qualified? Thank you, Zara

    HI Zara, unfortunately it looks like you haven't completed your Teach Away profile on our end. We have no records of your experience, degrees, or certifications. Thus, you were rejected for those jobs because of that. I recommend that you take some time to fill in your profile and reapply to jobs that you qualify for.

    Cheers
    Janice

    Hi Janice,

    I believe there must be some sort of error as I have completed 89% of my profile. The only section I didn't complete is references. Could you please see if you could resolve this?

    Thank you

    Zara

    Hi Zara, sorry it just looks like I was looking at the wrong account when I said it was 0%. I have found your correct account now. I noticed that you've applied mostly for ADEC positions. These require a minimum of 2 years relevant teaching experience, meaning that if you are applying for a science teaching position, you need to have two years of experience teaching science. Since you have experience teaching English, I recommend applying for English teaching positions. Hope that helps!
