The other line answered my call: Hello
Me: Yes sir, you called me while ago?
The other line: Yes
Me: Just wondering where did you get my mobile number? and why you were calling me?
The Other Line: From your posted resume
Me: So meaning, from the manner of your unprofessional call to me, you are degrading my nationality. Let me clear to you that no matter what, I am and will be proud of being a Filipino.
The Other line: So you are blaming me?
Me: Ahh ok you are degrading me... :
The other line:::::::: tot tot tot tot phone hang
Let me clear this, I should be insulted being a Filipino, if my caller will tell me, "Actually our needs are only native speakers" ....AND clearly I should understand. But the unprofessional manner of calling because of knowing my from the Philippines is totally unacceptable.
Please, Let not nationality be the caused of rejecting an applicant FROM MY COUNTRY THE PHILIPPINES, INSTEAD accept/hire/employ us as per our qualification, capability and expertise of being a Professional ESL Teacher. We Filipinos might have our own accent but we are PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS who have earned our University Degree and WE ARE CERTIFIED TEACHERS.
Lastly, to my dear caller, you know well who you are....may GOD SHOWER YOU MORE BLESSINGs AND MAY GOD OPEN YOUR MIND NOT TO BE RACIST AND TO BE MORE HUMANITARIAN BECAUSE NATIONALITY IS NOT THE QUALIFICATION IN ENTERING HEAVEN.
