Korea is bad. I dunno, maybe I am just tired of being a foreigner. I am completely indifferent to Koreans -- neither like them or dislike them. Ever read Harry Potter? Koreans are muggles. Nothing wrong with being a muggle, they just don't go to Hogworts and can't fly a broomstick with me. 
I need a change and Japan is the rational choice. As far as uni's go, I have no Japanese skills but I have wicked good interviewing skills and an MA in English, plus three years of uni experience. It can't be THAT hard, can it?
Also, is age a factor? I'm 45 but look 35. My photo makes me look quite young (and I am distractingly handsome) but they'll see my passport, of course.

What a terrific and helpful thread.
Getting a job in a Korean university is very, very easy! And the terms are quite good, as you can see from Charly's post.
The key thing is to fly there and do a face to face interview. The face to face interview isn't that important (unless you are fat or mean), except if you promise the university that you can start work without the university having to pay your airfare! Then, that 3 year BA you have in religious studies becomes better than a PhD in linguistics.
I think many qualified teachers working in Japanese universities would find working in a Korean university not only easy, but profitable. As the Korean economy weathers the current storm and is on track to grow, Korean university positions are ready and waiting for battle-scarred Japanese professors.
As for Korean culture? Even Joe Average is seen as a young Tom Cruise or a Jonas Brother.
Korean universities: a profitable option! Hell, if Charlie can make good money, then who can't!
I did it, before.
PM me for more info. |
