Does anyone have any info on Aclipse. They have an ad for DOS's here on Dave's, but I can't get to their supposed website.

The only thing I could find out that the operation seems to stem from CDI in Korea and run by a guy names Brian Parks.

Seems shady.

Um, seems to be the real thing and must be set up okay if they are employing for EPIK (government schools) in Korea. The big money won't be for China but. Brian Parks is working for them as he is the contact for this link:

Saw hte ad. seemed very shady, bait and switch probably.

Why? No specifics about which school or company.

The jobs they are quoting at 17,000 .... the experience required in minimal

Thanks, Anda and Arioch. As usual, your posts are most helpful. You kept me from making a mistake I'd no doubt live to regret.

I wouldn't go near this.

DoS positions? Yeah, right.

Okay, you're a DoS. You're a DoS at each location they farm you out to.

And good luck getting a Z visa.

They've never even ever stepped foot in China, only trying to get more people into Korea Laughing

This is a recruiting agency for other schools and now in China. The position advertised on Daves ESL Cafe is for some EF schools in China

This is what this forum should be about. Just giving people intel they require and let them see for themselves. There should be a school intel segment where teachers can post school details where they work or worked.
