E-mail from possible employer:
Dear Fabio,

Thank you for sending us your CV. We will consider your application and contact you if we would like to meet up and discuss any teaching opportunities.

For the avoidance of doubt, can you please confirm if you have an official teaching qualification?

Regards


Response:
Why do I even bother.

NO, dammit, I do not have a teaching qualification. I am only a native Italian speaker with a couple of degrees, fluent English and about ten years' experience teaching the language to adults on an individual basis and twice as much experience translating. What should I know.

Forget it. Just go for the guy with the piece of paper, I can't be bothered. If you find it more important than a lifetime of experience and knowledge that ranges from marketing to Dante, it's your funeral.

Sincerely,

F.P.Barbieri


P.S.: I do not in fact have "a couple of degrees". That was only intended to make him feel worse. The rest is true.
