What would be a reasonable timeframe for considering a contract and job offer? I ask this as I received a contract offer yesterday but I have an interview with a school in a slightly better area with better hours and more vacation time on Saturday. Would it be pushing it to hold off on signing the contract until after hearing the results from my interview Saturday?

Contracts are know to self-destruct in T minus 2 days upon offer. If you want to sign, do it before the clock runs out. And sign it in blue or black ink. Red ink will trigger an explosion.

Satire aside, I'd say any more than 3 days is pushing it. You can stretch it out by telling your recruiter/calling the school and telling them that you're looking it over still and weighing your options, but go with your gut. Personally, I'd just bank on acing the interview at the other school and go for that one. You can't be too picky when it comes to Korea.
