My current contract is ending this October, and it seems increasingly unlikely I'll get the extension I want. With the news about the GEPIK hiring freezes for certain times I'm a bit worried about finding a public school job after my contract ends. I don't want to wait 5-6 months and I don't necessarily want to work in a hagwon.

I know there are some public schools that hire independently - that's how I got my current job in fact. How common is this now even with the hiring freeze? I'd like to have a PS job starting sometime soon after October if I don't get my extension at my current school.

Choices are as follows:

A) You apply to as many recruiters as you can and uphold the theory they need us more than we need them.

B) You are a casualty of the ESL wars and guinea pig. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Keep the fight alive, apply now, apply often.

You could try the after school programs. Public school with hagwon benefits with arguably better hours than a hagwon or public school.

I also wrote a post at the end of this thread:
