Beg your pardon, Sir.... could you enlighten me as to WHAT is an "Intercultural Trainer"? I know the meaning of the words.... what does the person DO ??

Hi Greg
Is that a position for call centres to train up staff? including teaching English, how to use the language to their advantage etc?
I know there are quite a few of those type of positions in Bangalore.

If it is teaching based you should leave a message on www.eslcafe.com

If the link doesn't work, type in dave's ESL. There are many TESOL and TEFL teachers out there on the boards, many whom want to work in India.

However, if the job is nothing to do with that;.. just ignore my post!

ciao

Hello Greg.

I am interested in your posting, and I have worked in Asia for the past six years teaching both the IB and IELTS curricula. I also have experience of working in print and broadcast media- all of which require delicate interpersonal skills, and intercultural awareness.

I tried to send an e-mail to the address you posted, but I received a delivery failure notice. Apparently, the e-mail was filtered as potential spam. Is there an alternative method by which I can contact you?

Many thanks,

Simon

Sorry Greg, I should have added: my e-mail address is: whiteground_uk@yahoo.com.

Many thanks,

Simon

Looking forward to your response.

Greg,

I am curious how much positions like these pay? Would you be able to provide any info? May be a salary range?

What is an excellent local salary?

gregschmitt · Jun 11th, 2008, 17:45

The position I originally advertised is now closed; However, I have frequent openings and any CVs that you send will be kept on record.

An excellent local salary would enable a candidate to live very comfortably in India; However, It would not enable a candidate to meet debts back in the UK.
The HR team would discuss the precise salary range.

Cheers,
Greg
