i posted a contract yesterday and aparently some of the things in it were illegal. So I rejected it and told my recruiter that some of those things were illegal. I'm amused that she hasn't bothered to email me back or talk to me again. Smile


Good move, it shows you respect yourself and your entitlements and to the right recruiter that spells GOOD JOB for her. You think the GOOD JOBS go to average joes? NO. They require GOOD TEACHERS. I speak with my eyes closed and annunciate like a radio host and they all eat it up. Its about making them think you are the best candidate they have !!!!!!!!!!

Buffy, I'm interviewed literally every night. I have over a dozen recruiters. They email me the same jobs regualrly and I have to say....no I interviewed for that last night with another recruiter, or I have a higher number as the top salary for that school, I have the contract already too, etc. I sort of already have an ideal job lined up, I just keep my bases open and don't sign until its really really OK. I will hand you off to my favorite recruiters if you want. Just PM me or call me so I can feel you out to make sure you won't make me look bad. I feel bad for you because all the chains you mentioned ARE HORRENDOUS. You need a PS and I turn them away like crazy so I know who has them. I only turn them away because I think I found a great situation. I had started out telling everyone NO HOGWANS AT ALL. That was very smart. Igot about 50/50 PS offers that way! Had I not been so firm, I'd be told what you are being told. They really are filling up super fast though. As far as a PS in Seoul, yeah 2 is all they'll offer. A hogwan, I don't think so. Each day counts.


Did you tell them you were unusually cool? You'll probably find a good job if you do.

Dude, she's really not savvy when it comes to this I think. If she were, she wouldn't have been burried by BS up to this point.
