Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

our school is new and growing very fast; we are speeding up plans to hire more NETs asap - I was asked to help with this since I'm the only one so far; and all the teachers there and the director are female - so I was told the next teacher should be male

and then she added - and he should be HANDSOME, and VERY STRONG and also like AN ACTOR all the time waving her arms about, giggling of course.

I laughed but it wasn't in the same tone as hers. Shocked

it was at the irony of it all Rolling Eyes

I said I'd be happy to look over resumes but she'd have to do the rest.

poor fella, not that it's a bad place to work, it's not (yet, but give them a year or 2 - moms are already running ramshod over the director), but, well, you know.... Surprised

Looks like brad pitt is kicking himself in the nuts right now thinking he could have made it BIG in the hagwon world.

yeah I know but when someone tells it to you first hand, it's still a bit of an eye-opener Surprised


I'm beginning to find Ks if anything quite predictable

Maybe she was joking...or maybe she is like the female version of the male hagwon director who is looking for "blonde hair, blue eyes" in a female teacher. eye candy, and the faint glimmering hope of a lay?

unfortunately, this was no joke - I only wish it were.

neither the director or the one K teacher there has ever been abroad so they do hold pretty stereotypical ideas about Westerners. Surprised

That's great. Can you get them to buy an ad on Dave's and put that in the description? I love especially how they don't say a thing about experience or qualifications.

Sounds like my services are needed.

It's 80,000 KRW an hour and I bring my own boombox. I can dress as either a hagwon worker, a firefighter or a policeman. A leprechaun if its St. Patrick's Day.

I bring the balloons and whipped cream, just put the director in a chair in the center of the room and get out your roll of 1,000 Won bills. . .

Gently point out that young, handsome, strong males, who can act, make 10x as much money (or a lot more) in Hollywood, than in ESL. Brad Pitt eg.

They may have to lower their unrealistic expectations.

I'm also a professional Golem wrestler and a freelance enhancer.

What's an 'enhancer'? It's someone who shows up and the surrounding area and people are immediately better both intellectually, physically and olfactorily.

Although probably not with speling. . . Smile

All the teachers are female???

How about the NET's? Are they mostly female also????

Seems like an anamoly. Most of the foreign English teachers here seem to be men, a huge foreigner sauage fest if you will...
