Teaching English At Hess Taiwan
This is for people who are considering working at Hess Educational Organization in Taiwan or Singapore or wherever else Hess is now located. My last day as a teacher at Hess Educational Organization was last Wednesday. Of course I bawled when I left my kindergarten class. It's impossible not to love those kids after working with them for 10 months. I'll miss them so much.
But even though I had a great experience working with those kids, these last 10 months of working for Hess have not been great.I'm writing this blog because I know that even now there are people searching "Hess, Taiwan, Teach English" and they're not getting the full story. "Hess Sucks" is not completely accurate- there are some good things about Hess. But their website isn't completely accurate either.
A lot of people work at Hess for a long time, and it has been a wonderful thing in their lives. Then there are people like me who have a less than pleasant experience. It all depends on your personality and what you can or cannot put up with.
I write this in hope that someone like me will recognize the things that they can't put up with and look for employment elsewhere, so they don't look back on their first 10, or 12, or 6 months in Taiwan and say "God that sucked." or even worse, go home early and miss out on Taiwan. Taiwan is amazing.
Also, if someone reads this and says hey, Hess doesn't sound half bad, it sounds like it might be for me then I hope they do sign with Hess. It is steady employment, you will probably get paid on time, you get training, and they do help you get settled in Taiwan.
I will try to be as even-handed about this as I can, but obviously I'm not really pro-Hess. I'll just tell my story as accurately as I can. To read more please go to my blog.
