Hi Guys,

I received an email from someone named Elly An of EOEC the other day, asking me to fill out the EPIK form for this year. I have already applied to EPIK, but think I was too late to secure a placement. For this reason, I have decided to study for my TEFL, before applying for jobs later in the year.

I explained this to Elly An, but she told me that I can still apply for a job using the EPIK form, for the Chungcheongnamdo province program through EPIK, and secure a job this year.

I have looked on the website for EPIK, but I can't seem to find any information on this. I am also concerned about this as I was told by someone else, that you shouldn't really apply to EPIK more than once? Also, if I could secure a job for September, I wouldn't mind doing this, as I should have my TEFL by the beginning of August, and have all the other documents ready.

Could anyone please tell me if they have any information on this program, and if there are still decent jobs available? Do you think I would be better off waiting for the end of year, to apply for jobs in February?
