I have just been 'recommended' a post in Changwon by someone called dido from A&T. It's mostly adults - 6.30 -8.30am and 5.30 -9.20pm.
Anyone got any info on the recruiter, Changwon, and what problems the hours could cause?

Ok - the hours are pretty nutty. Does anybody know anything about the recruiter?

I did a contract like that in 97/98 teaching adults in Pusan and it was not that bad. I had the afternoon free to do whatever I wanted. One day per week I went home and caught up on my sleep and the other days I went to the gym or did privates in the afternoon.

Snowblind, whenever you have questions like this, try using the search function first . . .

I can say that the recruiter will squeeze money from your potential boss, which isn't a good start.

Ch'ang-won is a beautiful, cool city with a very close-knit foreigner community (lived there for 3 years; go to visit every month or 2).

I agree with Captain Underpants on this one - I don't like split shifts, either.

Basically, dido/A&T is an unknown for me, and I'm coming out pro Ch'ang-won, and anti splits.

Regards,

Hmmm... sounds like a long stretch of a day.

Put it this way:

Could you do that job for ONE year?

Wake up so early, and go to bed late?

You will get less than 8 hours sleep in a day, I promise you that....
