|
|
| I have all my documents and two years experience. My recruiter sent an email with possible jobs but the start dates are all too late and they are in rural areas (Hwaseong and Namyangju). Should i go with another recruiter? I have heard that it's bad to go to with multiple recruiters. Is this true? Thanks for the help. |

| That's what I thought. When I look online, i get different answers? Some say it's only when applying for GEPIK. Others say it's bad in general. I thought it was only when you actually decide to accept a job and put in your application. |

Multiple recruiters is only a bad thing if you are applying to EPIK/GEPIK.
IF you are looking at a hagwan, use as many as you need to find the job you want, in the location you want, with the salary and benefits you want.
Recruiters don't like it because if you take a job offered by another recruiter they don't get paid anything.
If you stay with one recruiter you severely limit your job options.
Go with MANY of them (like looking for a used car).

| I am applying to GEPIK. I am not interested in Hagwons. I have taught before with GEPIK and i used multiple recruiters but now i am reading it may or may not be bad. What does using multiple recruiter do that is so bad, if you only apply for one job with one recruiter. |

Multiple recruiters AND applying for GEPIK will get you binned.
Same is true for EPIK.
IF you are going for a government program - 1 recruiter for each but not both for the same program.
