just for fun...you ever get a job using dave's? i got my first job in taiwan using this site. worked out as fine as can be expected.

[Ya-ta Boy]

Of course.

[VanIslander]

with over 6000 posts here even i'm surprised i haven't

i indeed looked at job ads here when i was hunting

but both times i ended up going with positions posted on pusanweb classifieds

[spliff]

No....

[Zaria32]

Yes

[faster]

Yep, my current one.

[Sincinnatislink]

Never really tried.
Unless you count using recruiters that advertise here.
I just talked with a buttload of them.
I couldn't even tell you who finally connected me with my job.

[makemischief]

Yes. My current one.

[bgreenster]

Yup, the one I have now. Honestly (and this could be because I was pretty impulsive about moving to Asia) I wouldn't have known another way to do it. I was told by people I met while in Nicaragua about this website, and 2 weeks after I got home to the States, I had this job

What are the other options? Straight up recruiters?

[peppermint]

I got a few very good job leads through posters on the site, but never took a job through the job ads here.

It's not a half bad way to do a job search. Most people won't tell you about a job opening at their school, if its a terrible place to work, and a referral from a current employee carries a lot of weight with Korean bosses.

40% of my jobs = found myself through Dave's.
30% = a recruiter hunted them down for me.
30% = I applied/showed up in person.

Yes, my first one in Korea. Really glad I did, too.

[OiGirl]

Yes, in 1996.
