Hey guys, Im being interviewed for a position at Avalon School in Ansan and was wondering if anyone here had any experience or knew of anything about this school (what to expect, is it worthwhile etc). This will be my first teaching job, and I am pretty keen to leave ASAP so my choices are limited because of time. Any info will do cheers!

I would think that it would be easier to find jobs to leave for ASAP. I'm aiming for July through August and I'm having trouble finding things that aren't EPIK, GEPIK, and SMOE. However, I've been bombarded by recruiters looking for someone to head over in 30 days.

I also am looking for something in July and August and when I told recruiters they said can't you come in June? At first I said I would consider it, but now I really don't want to leave until the earliest July.

One recruiter I have been using has been great about only giving me job offers in July. I am sure more and more will become available as time goes it gets closer to July and August.

In Korea the best time to be available to start work is yesterday.

Recruiters and schools have been forced to start planning a LITTLE more because of the new visa regulations, but traditionally, finding a job that started any less than 2 months from the time it became available to the recruiters was unheard of.
