 |
|
Hello all, I recently failed my interview with AEON =( and I'm trying to expand out my horizon to Korea.
I recently applied at Aclipse to teach in Korea either in the private school or public and I got a response back from the recruiter giving me some info about phone interview.
I replied back with my available dates and was wondering how long the process take for them to schedule me the interview as well as the content they'll be asking me
thanks in advance! |

They are just a recruiting service selling your resume out to different schools to see if anyone will bite.
Read the FAQs.

I got a public school job through Aclipse. Though admittedly they did offer me DMOE or CDI.
If I recall, the interview with Aclipse, when I was taken on by the recruiting company, not not the interviews with schools, was set up fairly quickly, just a few days. They asked pretty much standard job interview questions, "Tell me about yourself," "Why do you want to teach in Korea," and threw in a few "What would you do if you were lost in Korea," type questions. It wasn't very stressful.
It has been two years since I've worked with them, so things may have changed. |

CDI is loaded with gyopos. Why'd you fail the first interview? |

Oh, I haven't failed any other than my aeon interview, which is irrelevant. Maybe I should wait longer? |

I might be confusing them with somebody else, but I pretty sure that Aclipse is CDI...or CDL..or whatever they call themselves now. |

Aclipse is CDI (or owned by them, I don't know the exact structure), but they also work as recruiters for other jobs as well. Aclipse is the recruiter I went through when first coming here. It was pretty smooth sailing, I don't think the original poster has much to worry about so long as he can answer some basic interview questions. |

| I just wanted to confirm for you that yes, ACLIPSE primarily recruits for Chungdahm Learning. You should be fine, don't stress. I had an interview with them back in May, but have not yet accepted the offer because I am on a wait list for EPIK Seoul. EPIK is supposedly much easier than CDI because you work fewer hours, and get much more time off. However, I currently have a friend who is working for CDI in Seoul, she has been with them for over a year now and loves it, though she does work a lot. By the way CDI owns ACLIPSE, as it gives them away to more easily higher Americans for their schools. Also, if you pass this interview then the real fun starts, paperwork, a youtube video etc, but this is nothing compared to what I have had to for EPIK over the last 3 months! Let me know if you have any questions, as I have been working on moving to Korea for some time now:-) |
