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?
