What campus and what department?

[TECO]

Seoul campus.

Not sure which department - How many do they have?

Which one is the best to work for?
Are the contract terms the same for each department?

Thanks.

There's the unigwon, the freshman English department, some sort of writing department, the Department of International Studies, Hanyang-Oregon TESOL program, as well as a smattering of other jobs for native English speakers in other departments.

Don't know all the salaries, but I don't think they are too spectacular. Although there's plenty of opportunity to get extra hours on campus.

Hours are different for each department, with a low of 9 to a high of 16, I think.

Vacation is different in different departments, but the mainstream departments give about 5 months.

Morale is great among new people, but amongst the longer term people, as with most jobs, anything brings it down. Overall, good.

No limits on contract renewals in any department.

Housing is pretty pathetic.

Overall, I wouldn't look at too many other places.
