A teacher from the Republic of Ireland has been
turned down for a job in South Korea due to the "alcoholism nature" of
Irish people.
Katie Mulrennan, from County Kerry, had applied for a teaching job in Seoul.She was told by an agency that their client did not hire Irish people due to their perceived drinking habits.
The 26-year-old told the BBC that she could not believe the email was real at first.
"Usually when you apply for a job and they don't want you, they don't send a reply," she said.
"Or they tell you they would prefer someone from North America, because some schools prefer the accent.
"But this reply was a first. When I got the email, it was so abrupt and short. I actually laughed when I read it initially.
"But then I wanted to write back a really angry response.
"In the end I took a deep breath and sent back a reply, that was a little bit sarcastic as I couldn't believe the email I had received. But I haven't heard anything back since."
Can you write an e-mail in response to the one this teacher received telling her that she couldn´t work because of the drinking habits of Irish?(200 words)
Dear Seoul,
ResponderEliminarI would like to demonstrate my dissatisfaction on the motive by which I have been pushed back of the teacher's work. I believe that the simple fact of being an Irish does not have to influence in my work, I am a good teacher and do not have because to be ashamed for being an Irish. I wait that you think about the decision again because if I will not have to take legal measurements because it is not possible to isolate in work a person for being an Irish, besides I think that I am the person more and better prepared for this work, therefore I wait that give me the work. I wait for a rapid response to take measurements. I am grateful for the attention to you, this mail only is my dissatisfaction to show you brings over of your decision because I believe that the motive for which they do not give me the work does not seem to me to be sufficient not to be able to do this work, not being an Irish am a leather wine-bottle it has to like to drink me so much.
Greetings
From our school of South Korea we mean that we do not want people like you to teaching in our classrooms, not for the sake of you to be a bad teacher but we have made a decision that we do not want to Irish citizens for the sake of that have some customs which we do not want to learn our students, these causes e.g. the most prominent is abuse of consumption of alcoholic products such as beer. Another consequence that we do not want you to provide classes in our classrooms is that we want our highly qualified students so that we have the best source in the world. I hope that this is what I ask and that no missing words, and that he has responded well to what I was
ResponderEliminarresponse to this email is a bit unrealistic because you can not genralizar an entire country because that country is tradiccion beer or whiskey as each country has some bad habits, but not everyone is wrong. for example, it's like saying that all Cubans are drunkards because of its proximity to drinking ron, or that all Americans are obese by the amount of fast food they eat, or the Spaniards are lazy because all naps. It is true that a large percentage of those people that you meet these characteristics but we can globalize because there are people who do not drink ron, people in North America do not abuse those meals and naps Spaniards in Cuba do not sleep. For this and many more relations there must emphasize that it is not a correct choice of the company since that person can be as professional or better than another person from another part of the world, we must choose according to their professionalism in the world job, your resume and your personality. We can not live in a world with so many prejudices.
ResponderEliminarDear Sir,
ResponderEliminarI´m really angry about the situation. In my opinion , I think that not all Irish people are alcoholic, there are people that drink a lot and others don´t
I think that you can lose opportunity for having really good teacher.
Other point is that is good having teachers from different nationalities so students would learn a lot of things about other countries. If you prefer an american teacher for his accent, he can be an alcoholic and not a good teacher.
You should select teachers based on their academic experience and not in their countries customs.
In conclusion, i am really angry for this reason and i think you should rethink this situation.

Dear Madam,
ResponderEliminarAccording to your application to work as a teacher here in Seul, I am afraid I must deny this application.
I am not testing yourself or your experience but you are not the person we are looking. People from Ireland have always been known as a very cheerful and party-loving people. That is why we think we are going to do without your person for working as a teacher and there are not the characteristics for a teacher. The country where we lived is a serious country. We give a lot of importance to children education and the principles that older people transmit them. It will not be well seen that an Irish woman give classes to a group of children who are forming themselves. Our country has an image we cannot smear. Although you do not have the habits of your country, this image will be horrible, not only for school staff, also for their families! The person who educates our children must be an example in the environment and I am sure none would understand that their children were educated by a so different person. In spite of you seem very serious we think that the decision would cause a big trouble.
Your faithfully,
C. Lewis
Thanks for the answer despite the refusal.
ResponderEliminarI wanted to say that I think the reason why you did not accept on the job does not seem relevant.
I don´t think that the reputation of the Irish have to affect to me because this are only that people say but it´s not real.
I am ready to take a job and I don´t think that I´m a alcoholic person.
I hate when people think this because I don´t urderstand. In others countries people drink like everywhere but the region that have this reputation is Ireland because people like to drink beer but I think that in Spain and in USA people love beer and it´s a part of culture and this countries don´t have this reputation.
Irish people maybe love beer and drink but this people are very workers and have capacity and I don´t like that people say this.
I so prepared to take a job and do this very good. The important thing is that you have studies and you like the job that you can take.
Here is my response to the denial of work as a teacher there. I find it unacceptable that because of being Irish I Juzge by the fame of here , you drink a lot of beer here is that I do not mean that drinking 24 hours, it might tell you more as you are an American you 'll be fat and will spend all day and you will be eating burgers pale skin and blonde. the next you want to reject someone for a job search for another more correct way . Still I can not believe the fact that Ireland has the reputation of being a place where drinking would reject me in a job , which I am also very good at the job and lost a great teacher . and be careful that might please one day I walk out there and how you think I'll do drunk.
ResponderEliminarI think one of the world's largest nonsense, ¿take a person by their origin? Honestly ridiculous and unusual coming from a developed country like South Korea. A clear case of xenophobia although uncommon not to say that one of the few, if there was more. That a person coming from a country where you drink a lot does not mean all are drunk nor intended to be. It's not like Americans hired by the simple fact that US weapons are sold and often give cases of shootings, not why Americans are murderers or anything like that. All I hope is that if I decide to go to work in another country, I do not refuse the job nationality or me or anyone. We simply born in a country where there will be more of a thing that would give a lot but that situation does not mean you're going to like or be. We are all equal; we have just been born in other countries because, obviously, not everyone can be born into it.

ResponderEliminar"Irish alcoholism nature' reason for job rejection for Irish teacher in South Korea
Sir, I am sending you this email to tell my discomfort with the situation occurred.
I think discrimination what you are doing with this teacher, and he is not leaving to work for a custom home.
In my opinion, I think the teacher does not have to be an alcoholic as some of his country, so he is criticizing before meeting.
This is a serious problem because the discrimination is not allowed in the world, people like you make this society is so.
This issue could lead to a court and hopefully apologize for discrimination and hiring authority.
Thank you very much and hope to hear from you.

Hello, since you do not accept me for the vision of Ireland outside, I'll explain that not all Irish are drunks, drink clear , like you, at times, but we did not spend all day with a beer in hand, if you will reject me for something totally unrelated to my resume, I have to say, you should not be a good director of a school when prejudge people before you meet them, when I read answer I thought that you were on joke, could not believe that one day I would reject a job for being Irish
ResponderEliminarDear Sir.
ResponderEliminarI just saw your post and it does not seem reasonable as you are acting towards me, being an Irishman. I have great qualities to be a teacher, I have studied enough to get where I am in the best schools, colleges and I have a lot of positive comments from my teachers and also have experience in this sphere and have never had any problems. Being Irish I can not relate to the alcoholic beverage because all Irish need not always be drinking or drunks. For his master's hand, it is disrespectful to me and if I do not have a quick answer where I have an apology, we have a serious problem in court, hopefully will not have to reach these steps to make him see reason. You can not judge me for being an Irishman.
Thank you.

I would like to say that I am ashamed of the decision taken.
ResponderEliminarDo not let me work because of being Irish, it seems indignande and racist. Not all Irish has a tendency to alcoholism, I am sending this letter to show my displeasure with your response because I do not see why what can not work. I hope that does not put bad excuses and tell me why I can not work, because I'm Irish and proud of it, and not ashamed of being so, and as I'm Irish, I can perform the task I set my mind. I hope answe my values and the things think two times before acting. A greeting.

To whom it may concern,
ResponderEliminarIn reply to your email, last Thursday 6th Junne I applied for the vacancy post of teacher wich it was dennied by the "alcoholism nature of Irish people" that includes me as such.
Firstly, I require a forgiven by giving this reason to not let me work there. I think it is the worst pretext I have ever recibe by not get the job. Deny a person for his "country nature" is racist and too naive. Perhaps think you every Irish have any kind of problem with the alcohol? That is outrageous. It is outrageous exist people as stupid to think a topic can be generalized. Irish can be known as the country with great beers but it is pointless to think a few joung-party-animal can be able to represent a hole country.
What is even worse, after viewing the alcoholism tax and compare Seul´s and Ireland´s I feel myself into the obligation to confirm you that Seul is one of the bigger alcoholism tax, much higher than Ireland´s tax. Only with this, I think I have demostrated you who is in the right hoping an aswer as soon as possible.
PD: Feel lucky to not retaliate against you

Dear Sir/Madame,
ResponderEliminarI am writing you in response to your email turning down my solicitation to the teacher’s job. I am very disappointed because from my point of view, I think that the arguments you gave me are crazy and have no sense.
As an Irish woman, I am very offended about what you have said, ok, it is true that Irish people are famous for being very cheerfully and liking the beer a lot, but I think you should not judge a person attending on where they come from, I find this very discriminatory.
For example, it is like you don’t accept a person who comes from Senegal because people from Africa are very poor. It has no sense!
You can’t judge a person without knowing him or her, firstly because you can hurt their feelings and secondly because everyone is different.
I am sure that there are Irish people more responsible than American people, and American people who drink much more than Irish people, you can’t know it if you don’t know the person!
Sincerely,
Katie Mulrennan.
Dear mr Jake,
ResponderEliminarI`m very angry because the answer to my jobs aplication has been impolite and it`s surprised me. I would like to explain why I am angry.
In the letter I received, you say that the Irish people have an "alcoholism nature". Apparently you think that all Irish people are partying and drinking all the time. Maybe you think that never works or that always are drunk but that is false .
The fact that we celebrated the festivals of beer or we produce whisky doesn`t mean that all we are alcoholic. We also do other things, for example, we write poetry and we have many traditions that people have copied all around the world.
The percentages are lower than you think. Only one of every four Irish people drink often. I am among the 3 people that don't drink often. But you judged me without asking. Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
Katie Mulrennan
Dear Madam,
ResponderEliminarI have received your email. At first, i honestly couldnt believe what i was reading. In my opinion you are not allowed to say what you have said, I dont really think you really feel what you have said but if you do, im sure you will soon regret it, just stop for a while and think about what youre judging people of. Im sorry to tell you that you've lost a very good teacher and im sorry you think about us that way. Do you know what? In case you didnt, there are loads of alcoholic people around the world, even in korea, im being honest even if you dont believe me, if you can believe it, does it sounds ironic? Well, thats true. In ireland there are alcoholics, it is true, and unfortunately, there are many, but that doesnt mean that every irish people are, there are lots of people made in Ireland with a very high intellectual level. sorry that you think that about us, hopefully you change your mind sorry, but when you do, dont count on me.
Good afternoon
ResponderEliminarFirstly when I read the email that I received yesterday this laughed me because I thought it was a joke, but later realized that the response to my message was completely serious, although it still surprises me... I thank you for the sincerity that have on me, but it really seems quite ironic. generalities are odious and this school is odious too... is unacceptable that not I can work at that school for my origins... an Irish person is characterized by many beer drinking does not mean that a drunk teacher or a person unprofessional. Finally, anyway, I thank you for not accepting me because I would not work in a place with these features, I hope my answer to change your way of thinking and to not call me ever again. Greetings, susana
When I read your answer, I knew that the interviewer is a unprofessional . A person who really wants to choose a good worker is not guide by prejudice . You have had many prejudices when you thought that i would be a drunk because i am from Irish . The place where I was born is not related to my professionalism .
ResponderEliminarIf you are the person that chosen your workers, I can imagine what kind of people work at their school. Now I am happy that you have not chosen me , I would not have liked to go there and see that I would have to work with people like you.
But I think the biggest problem is that you educate to many people. These people will be educated by people who think that no matter how someone is, what matters is the appearance and origin of the person . This is horrible.
Everyone tries to teach that no matter where you were born , what matters is the person himself . However you will teach your students the opposite.
Therefore I want when you to read this, you think you have made a mistake and you have lost someone to value people for how they are, you should learn this .
Dear Sir.

Thank you.
Dear Seoul,
ResponderEliminarI just can not relieve what i am Redding just sitting here in front of my Computers. I honestly think this is a joke because I can not believe you actually think what you wrote is a mix of an arrogant and racism thought.Do you honestly think that the simple fact of being an Irish does have to influence in my work or even in my daily life? I personally think that I am much better teacher than a corean person because I have not grown up by learning silly thinks like the ones you said in the email.
An other point is that is good having teachers from different nationalities so students would learn a lot of things about other countries. If is because of my accent you can also find an English or an American person and I am sure you would never say to them what you told me.
I really want an apologise from you or I will post this situation in the Irish newspaper.
Hi good morning, I feel a lack of respect that refused employment by the simple fact that the worker is from Ireland, that and you think that I have to drink lots of beer and being an alcoholic. Shameful is the way in which me to court without knowing me at all, I'm an excellent teacher and shows it my resume but I see that you do not care because I'm Irish. When I read your Gmail did not know what to do, laugh or cry, it is depressing but good I have nothing more than say and I would like to reflect on this but don't have with me for this job.
ResponderEliminarThis e-mail is for the agency,
ResponderEliminarResponding to your e-mail, I have to complain about your words which I don’t absolutely share because my Irish condition doesn’t mean that I am an alcoholic person.
The idea that Irish people drink a lot of is, as all, a legend. It is true that my compatriots are famous for their drunkenness when they are abroad celebrating any events, for example a football mach, on holiday and any more.
However, there are very serious and responsible people who act since the responsibility, and the mature, and we have never been faulted about our irresponsibility all over the world.
So that, I think this fact is an injustice, because I am very well prepared for this job and I could execute a good labour in your school as in participate in any public act with students.
Yours faithfully,
Katie Mulrennan.
Dear Mr. Astolfi:
ResponderEliminarAfter reading your resume and all studies and positive hobbies to this work I do not see quite qualified for a reason.
You come from Ireland prone to drinking Pais, and in my company we are looking for energetic young boys and able to give everything and take positive action towards the company and see that quality of the drink that relates to Irish negative influences provides the company then your offer does not convince me why I want you understood my position as director and principal person to seek the good of my own company.
His qualities as a worker are magnificent and has very good studies not to look the character of the Irish that I draw, I do not think I have much difficulty in finding a new job.
Dear Sir:
ResponderEliminarI am very angry and disappointed with your decision. I am not alcoholic. That people of my country, Ireland, consume a large amount of alcohol, does not mean that everyone drinks alcohol. Alcoholism is a very serious issue and a serious problem, and I disagree with your decision.
This not only affects me, also affects all good Irish alcoholics who are qualified for you.
Alcoholism is a very serious disease and alcoholic people should receive help and they should not be discriminated against by the other people.
I'm not saying that an alcoholic person should be a teacher, I am saying that a person from a country famous for the alcoholic beverage, this person should not be dismissed so quickly.
Personally, I thought your letter was a joke, that is weird, and at first I take it as a joke, but the sad reality is that this letter is for real. Your mindset is very discriminatory and old, and I feel very offended because I need this job, and because of you I have no job, but if I could work in your school, I would not.
I plan to post what happened and report this fact, this will not go well, I will avenge.
Greetings.

Dear You,
ResponderEliminarWould like to Demonstrate my dissatisfaction with this response, I can not believe what I read in your e-mail I still do not believe it, but still I would like to prove him wrong. I am a good teacher and don 't have to be ashamed Because for Being an Irish. I wait that you 'think about the decision again Because if I will not have any legal to take, because you can not deny the job to a person for being Irish and call drunk, so I hope you give me a chance. I wait for a rapid response to take measurements. This E-mail is not a threat is an opportunity that I am giving to restifiqueis. Thank you for your attention and I would like to tell you that even being Irish have intolerance to alcohol, if I think I quite missed ye,
Greetings of an Irishman.
Dear Sir, I understand that you don´t want to your students don´t receive education to alcoholics persons but you have to understand that not all Irish are an alcoholics.
ResponderEliminarThis is to say for example that I cannot accept a one Italian because they are mafia. It is very stupid because not all Italians are mafia, there are good people. Is the same Sir I am not an alcoholic because I live in Ireland. In each country there are different cultures and traditions that characterizing a one country, but because in Ireland we have a good beer and we like it, this don’t mean that I am a alcoholic, I like the drink at same than you or other person of South Korea.
I think that you could think about it and rethink if I cannot work there for it.
Hi, sorry it has seemed the answer, it's not fair that because of being Irish and are widely available and drunk, in life one must first know the people and thereafter review and choose but you can not generalize. It's as if now the Spaniards were not contracted in any way and we have a reputation for lazy and corrupt, but even in this economic crisis, it would not be fair since there are millions of Spanish perfectly prepared and very many from the world.
ResponderEliminarMoreover I think an education problem the response because somehow have offended because they have no idea whether alcoholic or not or if you can not even drink alcohol, the truth which is normal to have gone bad that response and that this angry, sure have missed the best candidate for the job because drunken Irishmen also have a reputation for good people and drunks will be able to be safe or not but good people, and that a worker gives very good image .
The Irish pride already has more than enough reason to denounce him who sent the mail, as not to admit that you stop cutting well.
In addition to the complaint he would put a fairly warm dismissal to demonstrate the education that I have and not so incidentally cut and politely.
Dear Sir:
ResponderEliminarThank you very much for your answer and reject my application work and not hire me
I thank you because knowing your reply, I imagine working for that company does not have to be anything pleasant or stimulating.
A company that disqualifies a prospective employee by a reason as absurd as you adduce not worth working for them.
First, because the information that you have the characteristics of my home country, Ireland, are very partial and almost assume that all Irish an I'm almost a habitual drunkard.
Perhaps, even in South Korea, have heard of Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and James Joice, the three most important writers of the twentieth century, which may not know is that they were Irish and drinkers.
Secondly, I am dedicated to teaching and the first thing that should be taught is to be objective and know all aspects of a problem, without knowing and not disqualify you only look to one side and the rest does not exist or is objectionable.
Sorry I can not develop my working life in yours country, South Korea, known for its tolerance or maybe I was wrong and I applied for a job in North Korea or were drunk when they made that decision, maybe it is.
Yours sincerely
Thank you for replying me with an anwser about the work, but in my opinion this wasn’t the way that you should tell a person that you are not taking it for the work because he is Irish, and Irish people drink. I´m not judging you, even though you did that to me, but that Irish people use to drink beer doesn´t mean that we drink beer 24/7 hours, we like it , and it’s the tipical drink for our country but that doesn’t mean that i´m less for that. I think the better way it would have be that we have talk face to face, and if you see that i´m not prepared I see fair that you don’t want me to be a teacher in your school. When I saw your answer I thought it was a joke, but im seeing that its not. Im Irish, and I like to drink beer sometime, but at least I have education, and I have been studing for a couple of years so I could work on what I like, teach, so someone come to me and tell me that I can´t work because i´m irish. Thank you for reading my apply and this even though i´m from Ireland. with pleasure, marina
ResponderEliminarDear Madam,
ResponderEliminarI am writting to you to convey you my displeasure after reading the letter that I have received the last weekend. Firstly I couldn't believe it and I thaught that it was a joke because I cand't understand how you can generalize all the irish people because all of us aren't alcoholic. We have known as people who live very much drinking beer however it isn't a reason to turn down for a job. I suposse that people of your city, even you and your people around drink some alcoholic drinks as irish people and it doesn't mean that you are an alcoholic person. Fuerthermore I think that it is the fame that we have and you don't have rigth to answer me thus. So I believe that you are discriminating all of irish people who may feel touched by your bad words.
As each country has some bad habits, but not everyone is wrong.
Besides I think you have prejudged me without know my knowledge and my way to teach pupils. Maybe you contract somebody from your country who doesn't explain better than me.
So I only hope that what you write to me was a mistake and you sorry me.
Bye.
When I received this message couldn’t believe what I was reading
ResponderEliminarWho a person with studies can think that? sometimes some people can still surprising me despite my age and you are one of them
I find ridiculous, I know my country have a bad image in the world but also every person is different and as every countrys have ‘’drunks’’
I believe that im a responsible and professional person and don’t identify with the label leading my country, it's embarrassing to generalize in that way
Surely you have no idea about my country and has only been able to focus on the absurd idea that you have told me in the previous email but I want to tell you that if you believe everything you hear and focuses only on that you are going to lose a lot goods things of the life and you will live in a lie always
someone will want to hire me in a future and that person will know really appreciate my knowledge and real personality,you helped me not having a hard time with this rejection
I hope not to meet again people like you and with a such closed mind in the rest of my life.
bye
Dear Madam,
ResponderEliminarWe reject your job application because we are looking pefil not fit, as you will know the Irish have a reputation of a lot of people that likes to party and drink and prefer other nationality for teachers in our school.
We know they are prejudiced unjustified but most do not want to have problems with the parent association as has happened on other occasions. Unfortunately , two years ago we had a bad experience with an Irish teacher.
Hopefully that will take care of the situation.
Sincerely C.Lewis
Dear madam,
ResponderEliminarI'm quite upset with this topic because I think that is an exaggeration to discriminate against a person by their origin. I supouse that you'll have yours reasons.
I personally think that you mustn't judge people by their origin because not all Irish people are alcoholic, there are people that drink a lot and others don´t.
You're loosing the opportunity to hire a good person at work.
To hire people from other Nations is a very good thing because they have other cultures and that is positive because it opens the mind to the children.
All people outside can be alcoholic or not, regardless of their origin. What you must do is to make tests to job candidates to find out the level of knowledge. You have to rely on their knowledge.
I personally believe that you should not have acted like now and you must rethink the situation and give another oportunity and said "I'm sorry".

Dear Sir/Madame,
ResponderEliminarAccording to my application letter's response I have received, I wanted to inform your company about what happened after that.
First of all, I would like you to know that I have informed myself about if the reasons avoid my application for that job are legal in Seoul. I haven´t found anything about this yet, but if there is any law for these cases I will find it.
It is true that Irish people use to have fame of being alcoholic, but is just a said, not everyone in my country has this addiction problem. I could have done an interview and I wouldn’t have felt as discriminate as I feel right now.
I think that is better have no job in your company because I can’t stand racism, and it has been hard for me to response your e-mail because when I read it I got on shock.
I am sorry for having to tell you I am really disappointed with this situation and I hope this e-mail makes the company realize that this shouldn’t happen anymore.
I looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Dear madam:
ResponderEliminarI have already received your mail and when i read it I started to laught, your argumments aren´t sound and I considered it like a joke.
What you can say to somebody that they are not accept because their alcoholism nature? I find it innapropiate.
You should have more tact. Besides, not everybody in Scotland like driking, you are so wrong, because you are basing on stereotype and it isn´t for intelligent people. In addition, you must inform better and not generalize. However, i´m too gratefull because i don´t want to work in a job with people who have prejudices to others.
I´d recommed you being more objetive and considering what people would better in that job and more efficient.

Dear Seoul. Since our school in South Korea say we will not all Irish are alcoholics and we should not generalize each of the actions of people. We need a teacher worth like you.
ResponderEliminarIt's like saying that all Spaniards are lazy, or that all Americans are alcoholic beer.
If you had a problem with alcohol, we would not want to come into our school and our students have high and good grades and otherwise we would lose value in the city school.
I await your response as soon as possible as I advance that you trust and do not generalize the vices of pais.Estoy grateful for the attention, this post is just to show my dissatisfaction has over his decision, because I think that the reason for not giving me work does not seem to be enough to not be able to do this job, not being an Irishman I am a wine-bottle leather have to like me to drink a lot.
regards
Dear sir or madame
ResponderEliminarI'm writing an answer because I felt like you've insulted all Irish, but mostly me. I think your thinking and probably thinking of you all is very discriminatory, particularly I think it's a bad thought for a teacher because it is assumed that a teacher has to teach their students what is right before culture. In my opinion, is a better person who has good values and not one that has knowledge. I strongly believe that you are not going to be able to educate children, I strongly believe that you are not going to be able to educate children, you will teach them something bad: extereotipo. On the one hand, first impressions are extereotipos that arise when you meet someone and you have not known Me. On the other hand, are cruel and have made me feel because you have judged me for what I am not. I sincerely hope you do not teach the children the same way you think because then it would be pathetic.
To sum up, reply was not necessary, but it has made me grow because due to this I've noticed that some people judge you by rumor, by the way you dress or even taste.
To whom it might concern,
ResponderEliminarI have received your e-mail about the opinion you have about the Irish people. From my point of view, it is not proffesional to judge people you do not know at all just because they come from Ireland. Coming from a country which is well-known due to its beer, does not mean all their members are alcoholic. Your agency should reconsider the respond and the arguments they have answered to me. I consider myself a really hardworking person, honest, sociable, nice and I know to treat people properly, so I am sure I would be the perfect woman for this job.
When I first read the e- mail I was absolutely astonished, actually, I though it was a joke. It is not very professional this kind of response from a serious company.
I have worked really hard during the past years and I think it not fair for me or anyone to be judge this way.
Finally, I hope that you reconsider your response and we could make an appointment. Thank you very much

Hello, I´m answering your email because I think what you´re doing is excessively ridiculous. At first, when I read your letter I thought that you were joking because it´s absurd. I´m going to tell you one advice for the future: You can´t judge someone who you don´t know, because normally you´ll be wrong. You, without knowing me, think that because I´m Irish I will be all the day drinking. Like you are Korean, I can think that you are all the day eating dogs or something similar... I only have one thing to say to you, I have a disease that forbids me to drink any alcoholic beverage. What are you thinking now? You still thinking that I´ll be a bad teacher? At now I don´t want to accept the job, seeing what kind of racist person works there. I think that you don´t like too to be discriminated in a job for your nationality, so keep in my place. The last thing that I want to tell you is if you don´t sign up me because in my country the beer tradition is so expanded, I hope that you wouldn´t sign up neither an Australian person, a German person, a Czech person.... I hope the best for your school. Goodbye

I am terribly shocked with your answer, at first I could not believe, I closed my e-mail and open it again thinking that something was wrong. But it was not, because after opening my mailbox there it was, shocking me again. Then I thought that it had to be a joke, and you have selected me for the position of teacher in South Corea. Then I waited for a while to receive the real one, but it did not appear. So, finally I realized that I had been rejected for the “Irish alcoholism nature”.
ResponderEliminarNow I feel very unfortunate, I feel sad to be Irish because although I don’t drink even a beer, I've been rejected by the custom of some people of my city to drink. I want to tell you that this decision is not fair, that perhaps only an interview would have realized the type of person I am. I like children, I love teaching and I need work because for some reasons I had to leave my country. But any way tonight I will go out and I will ask for money to celebrate with a coke, because I don’t drink, that I have no work.
Best regards,
Dear Seoul,
ResponderEliminarI have recived your e-mail. I did not expect your answer because who does not usually care about my job it does not usually respond. Also, I did not expect this kind of response to a job interview. I believed at first it was a joke of some friends, and I could not help but laugh when reading the answer. Later, I read the email again, and I realized it really was not a joke from my friends. I was surprised, did not think this could happen. Do not think it's fair that you have not chosen me for a job to be Irish. Not all Irish people are drinking alcohol all day or all French people are smoking all day. I just think it's a stereotype, but not all people are the same for being a country. Also, if I bring forth the opportunity to work in your company I think would do a great job because I am a very hardworking person and perfeccionist. Mostly I have a lots of experience and would be a great worker for my personality and my work involved.
A greeting.
Hello truth that has surprised me the answer you have given me the truth has its charms but nothing formally by what I think you are stupid or trying to be funny. Actually I think that their intelligence is not very appropriate to think about the fact that beer is famous here are all drunks. If one explain to me I got drunk as a career to teach. The truth is that I think I should not teach you because it certainly is not very smart if you think that all Irish are drunks. Same thing if you do not hire a Spanish for being lazy, a Portuguese by unfriendly or German for the same reason as mine. If you do not want to hire me tell me directly not even have to apologize but please do not tell me that nonsense because you disrespect me and my country, and also shows how extremely ignorant you are. Glad I do not find me hired because that I see as you say that the Irish are drunks I will say that Koreans are stupid and you're the one who made it possible.

Dear Sir, Madam. Thanks you for your answer. It has been one of the best jokes that have been told to me. In the beginning, I couldn't believe it.
ResponderEliminarIt is embarrassing to consider an Ireland person an alcoholic.
The fact that lot of Ireland´s people drink lot of alcohol, doesn't mean that all the people be like them.
You have made a generalization and it is incorrect.
In addition you have never talked with me so you can´t know how am I and how would I make this job.
I think it is a lack of respect for me and the country and I also have to say that I hope someday you will learn and you will know the big error you have done.
bye.
Dear Soeul
ResponderEliminarHonestly, I think this is a joke, because I can not believe I actually think what you wrote is a mixture of an arrogant and racism since being Irish does not have to be an alcoholic, or his accent must be worse to a Korean American or even less.
I think we should give equal opportunities to all and want to show that an Irish is better than a Korean why I have not learned English, if my language is English, and it is also good to have different nationalities teacher for students learn from other cultures and histories of other countries.
If due to my accent can also find one American English person and I'm sure that would never tell them what you told me. I really want an apology from you or I will publish this situation in the Irish newspaper.
ResponderEliminarGood day
when I'm read your answer, i couldnt believe, initially i think that this answer was a joke but when i can see that this email wasnt a joke, i felt
offended, because im irish i have to get drunk and this is discrimination for people irish, and this meaning that you have prejudices because
you givent me a opportunity and directment your answer was no, and your reason is absurd and you will must revise your argument because
they cause laught although is stupid and discriminationof ireland people, really, i want answer your email but is so stupid that i need answer
for that you know that your argument fot contratation is not validate, and the BBC that is a famous newspaper wrote of your discrimination of
the irish person
Finally, i hope that you reconsider your response greetings.
No, you can not send a reply mail this way. The first would write to the person of an educated and serious way. Alcohol problems in Ireland today are serious because they can lose a job over this issue. Companies do not want to people addicted to drink in their companies working, gives a bad image for the company. Removing the problem drinking of Irish can not write a message as did the company because it is disrespectful. The first would be to send mail before thinking about what you're going to give that person and how I can take it. In this case this person took it as a joke and did not mind, but in other cases could have been angry about the lack of respect for the company to him. To the questions you would do on your blog a NO, a company how small it can not treat workers about that. And speaking of the issue of drinking and alcohol in ireland what to do Irish is taken more seriously ork and stop drinking so much. This is an example of how you can lose a job because of alcohol and drinking.
ResponderEliminar
ResponderEliminarTo whom it my concern,
I have just read your email and your answer seems unbelievable to me, I do not know if it is unfair or rude. In my opinion you musnt judge a person by the customs of the people of country where they come from. Perhaps a lot of people in Ireland use to drink and they have earned the reputation of drinkers, but not everyone in Ireland is a drinker. In my family, my parents were humble and hardworking. They raised us with love and a lot of work and they show us that drinking is not the solution to the problems. They work hard to pay for our studys and make us good persons. So I love my carreer, I like to tech children and I would like to contribute to educate children from South Corea, in order to teach them not to reject people without knowing them, withought giving them the opportunity to demonstrate how they are. But, it seems I'll have to wait for the next time, hoping that the next time I will find a more responsible person to select people.
Thank you very much for your attention,
Yours sincerely
Hello, I read your post and I think we all have a chance to work, not becausea site or otherwise should discriminate against people, I think the fact thatIrish should not treat me like a drunk because sincerely I say that I'm not, ismore, not all Irish are though my country has that reputation, I think is wrongwith this decision, if you gave me the opportunity to work there I would provethat I'm not as think, I am a person who has a family, children, etc., and have been working several years in this business and have never had any problems with people, and less alcohol. Excuse me if I gave the wrong imageof me is not what I wanted at all. I would like to answer me when you read the message and please think of the proposal again, I would like to speak with you in person and clarify some small details face to face, and it does not seem the best way to talk around for message, also it further after what you told me thought it would take me for that job.

Dear Sir,
ResponderEliminarI have received your mail a few minutes ago and I cannot believe it! I think that it is not possible that the response you send me is a serious response. Can you really think that the alcoholism can be linked to all the people of a same nationality? I think that or this is a joke or you have not thought what you say, because I cannot find any reason that can help to argue your suspect that I can be an alcoholic.
Although Irish whiskey and beer are of very good quality and many people on my country works on this kind of factories, this is not a reason to think that all of us are alcoholics.
Considering your answer I am very glad you had not selected me for the job because really it would not be helpful for me to have the opportunity to work with so clumsy kind of people.
Would you like someone to tell him he does not want to work with a Korean because his eyes are slanted?
Although you pay me all the money in the world you can be sure that I never will go to Corea to work with people as you.
Sincerely,
Dear Sir,

Sincerely,
I am writting to you to tell you my indignation after reading the letter that I have received the last weekend. I cand't understand how you can generalize all the irish people because all of us aren't alcoholic. I suposse that people of your city, even you and your people around drink some alcoholic drinks as irish people and it doesn't mean that you are an alcoholic person. Fuerthermore I think that it is the fame that we have and you don't have rigth to answer me thus. So I believe that you are discriminating all of irish people who may feel touched by your bad words.
ResponderEliminarAs each country has some bad habits, but not everyone is wrong.
Besides I think you have prejudged me without know my knowledge and my way to teach pupils. Maybe you contract somebody from your country who doesn't explain better than me.
So I only have tos ay that you cant discriminate or generalise saying that every irish person that you see are alcoholic and I also think that someone like you should not be in charge of this.
I´m really angry about the situation. In my opinion , I think that not all Irish people are alcoholic, there are people that drink a lot and others don´t so much drink, I think that you can lose opportunity for having really good teacher.
ResponderEliminarI think that to have good teachers from different nationalities so students would learn a lot of things about other countries. If you prefer an american teacher for his accent, he can be an alcoholic and not a good teacher.
You should select teachers based on their academic experience and not in their countries customs.
In the end, I am a little angry for this reason and i think you should rethink this situation.
Hi good afternoon, regarding your email, do not understand why you said not to hire me. I think you know nothing of my life and do not know my ways. I can say that I am an educated, hardworking person and I do not like drinking. I can not understand how a person refuses to someone with such a poor argument without any basis. I believe that you are a person with sufficient training to not be swayed by something as ridiculous as thinking that all Irish are some alcoholics. Just do not understand the explanation you gave me not to hire me. I went to the interview you did with me at his school very excited because one of my greatest desires is to teach children. For this study a career and I specialize. And to get it, obviously not drunk went to college.
ResponderEliminarThat is really amazing, first if a person is in a country that has traditions or fame particular doesn´t mean that he follow these traditions, although the teacher was Ireland didn´t have because drinking alcohol, therefore deserved an opportunity test. all this is due to the prejudices of society, increasingly we accept less things because we don´t like but the world evolves and should be upside down and accept all the traditions, all types of people, and so ultimately be more open minds. I don´t understand how anyone can have the coolness to tell someone else, who need a job, you can not work because he comes from a country where alcohol consumption is natural, in the 21st century, without even giving it a try, and in the end the important is that students learn from a good teacher, not where it's from the teacher. Also he could be better than others from countries better according Koreans. So, what Koreans think is better? be a good teacher for students or the country from which you came from, but I'm sure I'm not alone about teachers. I think the Koreans have prejudices for all and think they are perfect when they live in a divided country at war and dictatorship
ResponderEliminarDear sir,
ResponderEliminarI can´t believe what you are saying in the letter. I am writting to you to express my indignation as you are believing simple topics and legends about irishes that are completely falses so you are showing your ignorance and poor education. Secondly I have to say that i don´t like alcohol like you say and I am a polite and responsable person. I was very excited because I was going to get a new job but you have shown me that nowdays there are many people that don´t enough personality to make own decisions. In conclusion, Irishes are very responsable people so you don´t have any reason to say it.

Dear Mr. Gimhae Kim,
ResponderEliminarI'm writing to tell you that i can not believe the email that i have just read few minutes ago. Are you seriously, with all my respects, turning me down for having an alcoholism nature? Do you really know Irish people? or do you only know what other people say about them? I think that you're making an early prejudice about me and about other Irish people. I suggest you to make an interview to the people you're going to hire in order to know them deeply. I would tell you that i have worked very hard during all my life to fulfill my goals, and i think that i have became a great teacher, so i'm sure i would probably show your country very positive things.
Finally, i don't understand why you discriminate saying those things but now i don't believe that i would be happy working in school manage by such an ignorant person.
Hoping not hearing from you soon,
yours sincerely, Katie Mulrennan.
Dear Sir or Madam,
ResponderEliminarI am writing in reference to your response for my letter of application to work in your school. Firstly I fine shocking that a person with your qualification chooses who to hire or not based on stereotypes and not following the professional skills or their achievements and if you have chosen the rest of the teachers of your school, this way I suppose that the education that you provide to your students is awful. Also I fine your insinuation quite insulting because in a way or another you are telling me that for being Irish I am twenty-four hours of the day drunk. I have studied for a long time, I have university studies and I have worked hard to be as good teacher as I could, and I don´t have to stand you telling me that I not professional or skilled to work in your school because you think that I am drunk. It is not fair that I can´t get an opportunity after all the effort that I have made. I look forward to an apology and maybe you will regret not hiring me.
Yours sincerely,
Laura.
In answer to your email dated 1/10/2014 in relation to my apply for a teaching job in South Korea, I would like to tell you that it is incredible, when I received the mail I couldn’t believe it, I don’t understand anything. I am from Republic Ireland; it is a beautiful place, with a very good people. Here I have an excellent family and a lot of friends. People work hard but also fun. I am a good teacher, I have been working at school for a long time but at the moment I’m unemployed. I have two children and I need to work. Why do you say that?, do you think that all Irish people are alcoholics?. I don’t think so. That is false. Although I invite you to come to Ireland and you will check that my country is beautiful and people are responsible. Everybody are not the same and haven’t drinking habits, what a shame that you think so but you have lost an excellent teacher. Ah¡¡¡ I have just forgotten to say you that I have found a job in Spain. I am very happy.
ResponderEliminarDear Sir or Madam,
ResponderEliminarI have just received your message and I don't still believe.
I think that your message is disrespectful and an insult to me and to every irish people.
In Ireland as in other places exist diferent kind of people.
I believe that you don't know me enought to injure my person and accuse me of doing something too serious.
You can't neither accuse irish people where my family is included and I assure you that they are good people and they work hard everyday in order to go ahead.
However I thank you that you haven't accepte me in the job because now I am who don't want work with kind or people like you.
I am sure that I wil find a job in any other places with better people with more education that you have and they will know and appreciate my qualities.
Before judging a person we have to know her it is not possible to believe anything because the majority believes it or because his native land has certain characteristics. It is not possible to reject anybody because in irlanda alcohol is drunk very much, not they all do it, it is a bad reputation that harms persons as this man who is rejected by the reputation that has his country. This one is never a seen fact that us announces the lack of refinement of the persons who have taken this stupid decision. The decision not only is stupid, also this made of very bad forms since it is not possible to discriminate of this form através of a letter. In my case the first thing that had made serious to give an opportunity and later it would value and take a decision without bears this in mind the reputation of the native land of this man. This should not remain like that and the company beside accepting the teacher should be punished in order that this type of things does not return to happen. The message is an insult and a lack of respect to all the Irishes and to this man in the first person.
ResponderEliminarDear Madam,
ResponderEliminarAccording to your application to work as a teacher here in Seul, I am afraid I must deny this application.
I am not testing yourself or your experience but you are not the PERSON we are looking. People from Ireland have always been known as a very cheerful and party-loving people. That is why we think we are going to do without your person for working as a teacher and there are not the characteristics for a teacher. The country where we lived is a serious country. We give a lot of importance to children education and the principles that older people transmit them. It will not be well seen that an Irish woman give classes to a group of children who are forming themselves. Our country has an image we cannot smear. Although you do not have the habits of your country, this image will be horrible, not only for school staff, also for their families! The person who educates our children must be an example in the environment and I am sure none would understand that their children were educated by a so different person. In spite of you seem very serious we think that the decision would cause a big trouble.
Dear sender
ResponderEliminarAt first, I must say I'm proud of being Irish.
In response to your email, I have to angry complain to you about the justification you provide denying my application for teacher job in your school in Seoul, South Korea.
In fact, you are just using a cliché to tell that all Irish people drink a lot. There's a tradition in Ireland of bars and beer, but it doesn't mean that all Irish people drink or drink a lot. Most of the Irish people doesn't drink at all or just do it moderately. I guess that this is not very different of what is happening in your country.
Altough I disagree about your response, I appreciate that, in this ocassion, you are not using an simple excuse saying you prefer an American accent and you are being so frank about your thinking.
I'm very upset because I don't understand how in the XXI century you are thinking in this way. I'm very surprised that in a country as advanced as yours, you are culturally so much old-fashioned, specially taking into account you are managing an educational institution.
Sincerely,
Katie
All countries have different topics on its inhabitants, as the vagueness of the Andalusians or stinginess of the Catalans in the case of Spain. The problem is when a topic is taken far too seriously and is used as an excuse to judge people without even knowing them. Katie Mulrennan, a teacher from the Republic of Ireland was rejected from a job in South Korea because of the “alcoholism nature”. Although it seems a joke, was not given more reasons and could not even speak in person about their work experience nor his real qualities for the job. Luckily, she soon found another job teaching English in Seoul, although it is sad to see these situations and hopefully not be repeated in a long time, because a person has to be evaluated for their actions, not their topics, whatever they are.
ResponderEliminarTo whom it might concern, I have received your e-mail about the opinion you have about the Irish people. From my point of view, it is not professional to judge people you do not know at all just because they come from Ireland. Coming from a country which is well-known due to its beer, does not mean all their members are alcoholic, that’s so racist! I know too much people in my country drink a lot of beer and it is symbol of my country but it takes part in our culture, we make a different beer that the rest of the world can’t make it and that is what it takes part in our culture. Also I thought this company was so serious but if you said that to me the standing of it is going down so quickly. I hope it only is one case and somebody can work in the place I want. Thank you very much.
ResponderEliminarDear Sir or Madam:
ResponderEliminarI'm writing an answer because I think you've insulted me and clear my all Irish. I think your thinking is negligible and discriminable. The mission of a teacher is to teach students, educate, culturizarlos ... nothing to see whether Irish or not because you think the Irish are alcoholics. To be a good person only moral values are needed, and I think Those values you do not, since you Have discriminated Against a person by appearances. You will not know how to teach students, not educate or teach values, so if you're reliable to teach well is the word stereotype. One of the things I hate MOST in this life are the Stereotypes. And now I Feel That only you saw me and you've Given in to the appearances but really am not, and have bothered me a lot. I hope this letter and learn recapacites That appearances are deceiving, you can not play someone at first sight since They do not really know how it is That Person and make the best of a teacher are the values and knowledge to teach students Their rather as you think your (appearances).
Goodbye

ResponderEliminarTo begin with, I think that this it’s a subject to talk more about people than about red bull. I would never claim money for the correct use of a language, in this case a metaphor. I I don’t know what is the relation that the school has had before with people from my country, but this kind of discrimination it is not tolerate in Europe. I am going to take legal measurements against your organization in case of not receiving an explanation.
ResponderEliminarI apologize for troubling you, and assure you that any information in relation with ancient experiences you give me will be used with utmost discretion.

Good afternoon
ResponderEliminarHis answer still amazes me already that at first I thought a joke but it seems q will seriously. Thank you for the sincerity they have with me, but it really seems quite ironic. Generalize this rather ugly and this school also is quite ugly since it is unacceptable that I can not work at that school for my origins, an Irish person is not characterized by only drinking beer in large quantities, but by their seriousness to work like this. Finally, anyway, thank you for accepting me not because I wouldn't work in a place with these features, I hope that my answer change their way of thinking and open the mind a bit to not put everyone into one pot and who do not call me ever more. Best regards
Alejandro Kirkendall
I think one of the world's largest nonsense, ¿take a person by their origin? Honestly ridiculous and unusual coming from a developed country like South Korea. A clear case of xenophobia although uncommon not to say that one of the few, if there was more. That a person coming from a country where you drink a lot does not mean all are drunk nor intended to be. It's not like Americans hired by the simple fact that US weapons are sold and often give cases of shootings, not why Americans are murderers or anything like that. All I hope is that if I decide to go to work in another country, I do not refuse the job nationality or me or anyone. We simply born in a country where there will be more of a thing that would give a lot but that situation does not mean you're going to like or be. We are all equal; we have just been born in other countries because, obviously, not everyone can be born into it.
ResponderEliminarHello, good afternoon:
ResponderEliminarI was surprised negatively, that you have not given me the job, just to be Irish, and you are so obtuse, of being influenced by the archetypes formed of my country, I hope you do not think that all the Moors for being Moors, plant bombs and crash into buildings ... Deeply saddens me, that is not being valued my personal worth, my education, skills and desire to get this job.
Moreover, if I drink or not drink, I do not think any of your business, it's something that would be part of my private life and as a professional person I am, you never get to know this, since my Working conditions and accountability in the work would be spotless.
Honestly, I have no interest in working there, since, as I have observed the human values that you have, not think it's positive adopt racist attitudes in life. Only I am writing this letter to reconsider in that based their interviews, you stop the stupid things and limit yourself to find a good candidate according to their work experience and training.
Attentively, Katie
I think that we cant globalize because some people are of one kind because may that people are the non common. I have already been living in Ireland and i can say that not everybody there drink and less be alcoholic because i think that drink some weekends or in parties and celebrations is not dangerous, the dangerous is when you get the habbit and you can´t stop or being one day wiht-out drinking. And someone who says that all the Irish are drunkers I think that is kind of stupid, only for been Irish you can´t determinate if he is addict at alcohol or not. In that thing doesn´t matter the nationality, also the some people thinks that all the Spanish are lazies and that we are all the on parties and drinking beers and in the beach having sunbathing, but we are as workers as another kind of people. So I think that they would have to konw the teacher before judge him. But in this world people , I don´t know why, like a lot criticizing I think that they fells better doing that because it doesn´t have another explication, so it difficult to change that, but I think that all is possible.

ResponderEliminarDear Sir/ Madam,
ResponderEliminarI am writing this email in response to the letter I received rejecting my application for the English language teaching job. In it I was informed that the reason why I am not eligible for this position it is because of the Irish alcoholism nature. I want to tell you that this is a high offense to me. I think you should pay attention to my CV, my qualifications and abilities. And then you will realize that I am a good candidate. Or if you think that other applicants are better than me, it is acceptable. But I consider this quite inappropriate. I do not drink alcohol and I am a hardworking person with great abilities, but I don’t need to justify myself, even though you are accusing me.
I think you are generalising and thinking all the people from one country or region are the same. That is completely wrong and false. The reputation of a school like yours cannot allow for that type of response and I demand that you write back again to me and apologise because I am outraged.
Dear Sir.
ResponderEliminarI just saw your post and it does not seem reasonable as you are acting towards me, being an Irishman. I have great qualities to be a teacher, I have studied enough to get where I am in the best schools, colleges and I have a lot of positive comments from my teachers and also have experience in this sphere and have never had any problems. Being Irish I can not relate to the alcoholic beverage because all Irish need not always be drinking or drunks. For his master's hand, it is disrespectful to me and if I do not have a quick answer where I have an apology, we have a serious problem in court, hopefully will not have to reach these steps to make him see reason. You can not judge me for being an Irishman.
Thank you.
I feel very bad that tachéis me without knowing me of a drunk person that comes from the Republic of Ireland. I know this country, my country is known for its variety of drink and as a country of alcoholics, but not all are equal is like saying that in Italy loves everybody pizza or Andalusia loves everyone gazpacho. Sounds good to me ye have not responded because he believed that what were going to do but when I read it I thought it was a joke, I see no sense. If you had known I would have admitted it to me ye should say, but without knowing just judging me for being the country that I think I'm incompetent. I also think racism because you criticize my country and my countrymen, if this country is to drink plenty warm in winter because here we come to many degrees below zero. I would say that before judging or talking about a person known to the judge as he deserves and not speak for the place where he was born because we are not all equal. To say goodbye want to tell you that my offer better valorase and hire me.
