Amity Corporation advertises the need for Native English Language Teachers (NETs) for work in Japanese schools. It is advertised as no teaching or Japanese language experience necessary, only a plus. The company will invite you to an interview in one of several locations and introduce you to their real motive.
The Amity Corporation has little care for the advancement of children, they seek individuals who are able to sell programs to children. Their main goal was not seeing what teaching styles were presented, but how much of a salesperson you can be.
The site advertisement states that schools making their goals would receive special training. From an educator's standpoint I took this to mean children performing at or above a certain level. I found out during the interview this was merely a way of saying "schools who meet sales expectations."
Overall the real rip off was not myself wasting time and money to travel to an interview site. My disappointment comes in the type of people they want to hire. I feel the description of wanting teachers who "Love children" is misleading and should be noted "Who love to sell things to help a company" better describes the outlook.
