Vacation? Sick days? Pension? Health Insurance?
Do you want to teach Kinder kids? I'd rather work longer hours than teach pre schoolers of any age. Are you in Korea now? If not will they pay for your flight over? |

2.1 for kinder? Forget it. If you are willing to do kinder, it's 2.3 or higher.
These job offers suck. |

| If you have the personality for it, kinder can be awesome. It's not for everyone, but don't knock it down out of hand. |

| In this current climate, with people willing to accept anything that's thrown at them, hagwons can afford to offer crappy conditions. Good jobs are out there, but they're becoming harder to find, unless you're prepared to sit around for a couple months or more in order to land that dream job. Much easier if you're in-country right now. But yeah, it sounds like a crapwon. |

9:30-4:30 is damn good hours for a kindergarten hagwon. Again, this falls back to the argument that so many here make that if it's a hagwon and you're working more than four hours a day and have to be there before noon it's automatically an awful job. 2.1 is low, but 2.2 is a pretty standard starting salary for someone lacking qualifications and experience, particularly if you're that close to Seoul. |

Looks like the only jobs available are ones nobody in their right minds would agree to... |

Smells of runner. Essential to grill past two teachers for full detail. |
