I am looking to teach in SK and am wondering if it is easier to get placement in bigger cities?

I am assuming since they are big cities, that they are more accepting of non-white english speakers. Any incite would be appreciated.

I am not black or African. You'd find that the opposite is the result. Big cities are generally white and bros end up out of cities. I not speculating on causation. I'm just observing the result.

interesting, anybody with friends in that situation?

I'm in Busan. I've been here for 5 years. I haven't worked at a public school, though. So I'm not sure how likely it would be to land a public school job in the cities.

did you go through a recruiter or did you go to Korea on a travelers visa?

[frankly speaking]

jameltoe you are pretty good to ignore AndrewChon's words. What an ignorant and racist post.

I am not Black either but I am Asian. I will tell you that you will find work in Seoul. Most recruiters might not be too helpful. They are only interested in quick and easy placements.

There are less schools recruiting for themselves these days, but you will find things in time. Bundang outside of Seoul might be a good start.

Unless you have a lot of cash, I wouldn't come on a tourist visa and look for work. It is not as easy as it once was to do that.
Good luck

I suppose my problem is that I don't know any other way besides recruiters to find schools. Any suggestions on that?

At no point did i call andrewchon racist and franklyspeaking's opinion is not my own.

I wish to get back on topic

[frankly speaking]

Nautilus and Street magic. You are blind if you did not read what Andrewchon wrote.

I also did not call AndrewChon a racist. I said post, not him.

AndrewChon refered to black people as BROS. That is pretty ignorant. In the neighborhood I grew up in NY, you didn't do that. His opinion about the distribution of people based on race was not the issue. Though I do think that he is incorrect on that assumption.

Street magic stick to the facts in this thread.

Back to the OP, Just keep sending your resume out. You will find something eventually, it just might take a little longer.

I'm not upset. If one gets that aggro on something as minute as a throw away lingo, there are bigger issues involved and this was only the trigger.
