I'd like to try and apply to actual schools over in Korea but can't seem to find any on the internet. Every website I go to is a recruiter. I've been applying to recruiters too, but I'm not having much luck because I'm a kyopo. So any advice on finding and contacting actual schools or schools that are kyopo friendly...looking in Seoul the beginning of June 2004.

It might be worth coming over and having a look. Do you have any friends or relatives who could put you up while you search for a job? I came over speculatively, and stayed with a good Korean friend until I found a job. It took me about a month to find what I was looking for. I am still at the same school after a year and a half! If you are conducting your job search in Korea, then you can discriminate between good and bad schools much better. I know two gyopos who have good jobs in Kwangju.
(I'm not a gyopo by the way)

Can you speak Korean?

I can't speak Korean. I think I might just have to bite the bullet and come over and look for a job once I get there. Hopefully my money will hold out!

Thanks for the advice.
