I am currently interviewing people to take over my place in September for when I go.
I specifically posted that only native speakers are wanted due to accents. I work in a language school and all customers always ask for a specified accent. Some american, some ask for Australian and others majorly ask for a British accent.
But so far i have only had Indians apply, and after having some conversations with them, and reviewing their CV I notice a number of spelling mistakes and not only that but their accent is too Indian.
I really do not want to discriminate any of them or sound racist towards them. I told them i will email them in a few days and get back to them.
I don't know what to say. I just want to say in the nicest possible way that she is not suited for the position and nobody will hire her as an English teacher, I have hinted she should be an Indian teacher but its not like the schools really offer that language anyway. I also told her that as a foreigner that is out of the EU does not get the freelancer papers easily and she was asking me why she cant get a normal contract, i suppose other people don't know about being a freelancer much but it's just so heart breaking as some people really need a job to get by.
I feel really cruel
