HOW TO SPOT A FAKE INTERNATIONAL TEACHING JOB

The demand for international teachers is high, but so is the number of fake job offers circulating online. Unfortunately, many teachers fall victim to these scams, losing both money and opportunities. At Desert Educators, we ensure that every job opportunity we present is legitimate. Here is how to identify a scam and why you can trust us with your teaching career abroad.

How to Spot a Fake Job Offer

• No Interview? No Job.
  Legitimate schools always conduct interviews before offering a contract. If you receive an offer without an interview, it is a red flag. Be especially cautious if the interview is audio-only—proper schools prefer video interviews to ensure you are the right fit. Pay attention to the questions. Were they about your teaching experience and methods, or did they only ask when you can start?

• Does the Email Look Suspicious?
  If a school's website is www.legitschool.edu, but the offer comes from legitschoolrecruitment@gmail.com, it is likely a scam. Real schools use official email domains. Always verify contact details through the school’s website.

• Can You Find the School Online?
  A reputable school has an established online presence, including a professional website, verified listings on school directories, and reviews from past teachers. If a school is difficult to find, has no real reviews, or appears to have a recently created website, proceed with caution.

• Are They Asking for Money?
  No legitimate school will ask you to pay for a visa, flights, or paperwork upfront. Scammers often pressure teachers into using a specific "agent" who requires payment. While some visa-related costs may apply, you should always have control over the process.
