Everyone knows you need references to get a decent job back home.
Has anyone successfully used a Korean boss/manager/supervisor/head teacher as a reference for a job back home???
Thanks. |

Director: Yobseyo?
Pros W employer: Hello?
Director: Uh....oooo. wait........one........moment......
Teacher who speaks slightly better Enlgish: Hellooooooooo!!!!!
Pros W employer: Yes, as I just told the other person, my name is Joesph Shuttlecock and I am calling to check the reference of Mr. ###### ########. He apparently worked for you last year.
Teacher who speaks slightly better Enlgish: Uh whoooooooooo?!!!!!!!!
Pros W employer: His name was ###### #########.
Teacher who speaks slightly better Enlgish: Hmmmm......Oh YAAAAAAA! Oh yeah Mr. #######> Ha! HaHa! Ha! Ha! I sorry my engrish not so gwood! Hee hee!

Better yet, write it yourself and have them sign it. |
