For example, my husband got me a job as an English teacher at a local international school. Usually, the main requirements are: 1. At least a bachelor’s degree in English (or something similar/related). 2. Be a native English speaker. 3. Have a bit of experience teaching English. Didn’t have any, but my husband put in a word for me and I got hired. Was this nepotism or networking?

    First of all: no judgement.

    But familial relationships, of which marriage is, are what makes it nepotism.

    So, I guess the missing piece is the relationship w/ the school your husband has. If he directly has any connection to the school… Or he’s related to anyone with a direct relationship to the school…

    Which, again, doesn’t mean you’re wrong for the job. Congratulations regardless.
