advanced proficiency level, and experience in program and/or education
management. As part of the screening and interview process, applicants will
be required to take language proficiency tests in their native language.
Advanced English proficiency is also required.
Salaries are based on the individual applicant's qualifications. In addition to
base salary of $56,857 - $97,333. Language Instructors earn annual 'bonus'
pay ranging from $4,875 to $9,750, with the amount based on the language
and their language proficiency. Language Instructors who speak multiple
foreign languages may also qualify for additional bonuses in varying amounts.
Furthermore, new employees can qualify for a lump-sum hiring bonus for
languages, up to a maximum amount of $35,000.
All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and
psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background
investigation. U.S. citizenship is required.

not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal
