At least your one is accepting SE Asians. The one I posted wants someone from an E-2 country.

Are you sure that the 1.5 million doesn't apply to part time work, as the working hours say "or part time"?

Another one for Busan, no accommodation, no flight, no health/pension, severance included. Vacation time is a bit ropey and the pay laughable. They want an F-2 visa holder, so an E-2 isn't encouraged. A qualified native teacher is specified.

EWHA English Language Institute - a well organized junior teaching English institute located in Gooseo-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan - is seeking a qualified Native English teacher available on May 1st, 2011.

Following are the working conditions

1. Qualifications : English speaker with B.A , F2 visa holder

North American accent speaker preffered for South eastern asian applicants.

2. Contract period : 6 months or 1 year ( 1 year contract preferred )

3. Working hour : 5days aweek(M-F). 1:30p.m - 8:30p.m (The time quoted are more or less subjected to change)

During the vacation time ( end of July and August / end of December and January) : 9:30a.m -4:30p.m, about 5weeks (The time quoted are more or less subjected to change)

4. Salary : 1.6-2.1 Mil.KRW/month including severance for 1 year contract. (decided by ability, career, nationality, major etc.)

5. Paid vacation : summer 3days ( 5days including weekends)

winter 2days (4days including weekends)

The job I posted, the guy, whoever he is, had the gall to actually ask me to find him a teacher.

I replied 'That is a recruiter's job. Recruiters work for money. Do you work for free?'
