I get update emails from Google, amongst others, as to new job listings in Milan.

I don’t hate my main job but, if you know me or have been reading for some time you’ll know that, coming to Italy, I had it in mind to a) do something different and b) do something that I really loved. I mean LOVED. The unfortunate disadvantage was that I had no idea what I would love to do. So it was a bit of a problem.

Anyway, just in case, one day, some job appears that I think I might love, I get these emails – even if I know that I never get jobs this way but always in a slightly unusual way.

Today, there was a job advert from Linguarama. They are based in Stratford-upon-Avon (notable for the birth of Shakespeare), which is a) a very nice place and b) in the heart of England. This is quite important since, although they are looking for teachers of English in Italy, one assumes that, since the applications are going to Stratford, the advert will have been written by someone in England and not Italy. In any event, someone should have checked it.

They don’t want just English taught but, rather Busness English. One wonders if this is for special courses where Italians want to become bus drivers? One truly hopes so, since, if you’re going to profess to be some specialist company in teaching the English language, one hopes that for certain things, you are really, really good at spelling! Some of those things which really need to be spot on are brochures, adverts and JOB ADVERTS.

One would have thought.

Wouldn’t one?
