I need to come up with a ten minute foolproof way of convincing a job that I am the one they’re looking for

It’s a job as an activity leader for an international EFL school in Edinburgh and I have had a similar job for the past four summers, so this shouldn’t be so hard, but I was told ‘you’ll get 10 minutes to do whatever you want to prove to me that you’re the one for the job’ so now I am sat here angsting about what I should do.

Directing and starring in my own ‘I am the best teacher in the world and you will love me 5ever’ production is hard.

My name is Johan (Jåhha / Eòghan) and I am a linguist, teacher and indigenous rights activist with a Swedish South Saami and a Scottish Gaelic background.

As someone with a mixed heritage - being from both an indigenous culture and a minority culture I find issues of identity representation to be incredibly fascinating and my wish is to start a PhD this September, focusing on the politics of indigenous representation and what happens when minority writers and indigenous writers challenge the mainstream idea of what these writers presumably can write about.

As you can see, I have added a donate button to my site - I know, I know - if you like the things I post about, feel free to show your support as this will help me pay for my Internet in the future.

As far as geekery goes, I guess I have to admit that I am a Harry Potter fan. Other cool things worth knowing about me would be that I've been branded as a terrorist by the previous Botswanan government for my support of the Gwi and Gana Bushmen's right to return to their homelands in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. I've also published academic things on Harry Potter as well as indigenous rights and I currently hold four degrees and have lived in Germany, Sweden, the UK, Switzerland, Austria and France over the last seven years.

Any questions, just feel free to ask by adding /ask to my url.
