Teaching office employees at large korean company.
1. monthly pay 3mil no housing.
2. bonus and flight on completion of contract
3. 3 weeks vacation.
4. 9 hours per day 11am to 8pm( includes 1 hour lunch break.)
5. Duties. only 2 hrs teaching per day. the rest of time spent on documentation editing, proofreading. (alot of their business is with english speaking nations.)
Would anyone else out there say that this is a good offer? Im an F2 and have my own house but wife says im nuts to take it cuz of the long hours. Is she right?

The hours seem to be strange to have a "lunch break". I would rather break at like 4 with that type of schedule.

I assume you meant 11am to 8pm? 2 hours in a classroom and the rest spent editing and proofreading on your own? If you don't want it can I have it?

Hi,

A lot depends on the commute. But hey at least there doesn't appear to be any split shift.

Since a lot of the time you will be doing paperwork I wonder how much and how urgent this will be...would you have to stay there for example if you were finished like at a PS?

Overall it sounds fine.

I am sure the job would be easier and less stressful than a normal teaching gig. If you want more cash. Stack your teaching jobs. If you want to have some peace and quiet. Take this job.
