Well, my transition continues, and this time I'm not taking the very first thing that comes my way. (Gotten a few offers though.)

Every job advertisement I see on ESLcafe and on Craigslist gets me in touch with a recruiter. Is there a way to talk directly tot he the school's themselves?

For that matter, if I see a specific town I want to live in, is there a way to find out what schools are there, or find out if their public school system has job openings?

I have never used a recruiter. There are plenty of ads on Dave's & elsewhere that are direct from schools/hagwons/unis.

What are some other good links besides Dave's? And what about checking for jobs within one community?

Unless you can speak, read and write korean or have someone who can AND you are in Korea you will probably need a recruiter.

Just make your wants very clear and ignore anything that does not meet your specifications.

A recruiter is nothing more than an introduction and a translator between you and your potential new employer.

Use them for what they are and move on.
