Has anyone heard of the "English Speaking Society-Busan"? There is a job posting from them and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge concerning ESS. Are they a chain? Good? Bad?

Muchas gracias.

I should have known something was up when the vacation has changed from "paid one month" to "Paid 10 days."

My e-mail was from Kim, Taekyun as well, so I know the same management are still there as listed in the previous post.

Such a shame that footprints already filled the position they posted in only 2 business days.

I wonder if it was an honest mistake or they just wanted to draw teachers in

My dear bnrockin, though I do not want to single you out personally; the fact that you even consider applying to an employer such as ESS, with proven past run-ins with the Labor Ministry over its mistreatment of foreign employees is a great disappointment.


I've noticed that some ESL sites now have a section featuring the pictures, names and background info of "blacklisted teachers" who've either been midnight runners or simply displeased their Korean employer.


I strongly suggest the same be done with native speakers who sign up with blacklisted employers, because in reality they are even more unscrupulous than their boss.
