@brento1138: thanks for the encouragement.  So I'm guessing you're working through SMOE now? Can you give me some advice on what kind of lesson plan they are looking for for the app?
And to everyone else: Since it seems like the picture is a major factor, do you think a full body semi-professional shot will be okay? Or just the typical head to shoulder passport type pic? |
Most of the examples my old recruiters have shown me were just shoulders-to-head, and most of my old hagwon's online teacher photos were in the same manner. I don't think you should get a full body one, as I've never seen Koreans do it professionally. |

Seoul is competitive, your chances are high if you are proactive looking for a job. Plus use recruiters.

From what I have been reading online, it seems that Seoul is much more choosy in applicants then rural cities. I really want to be hired in a public school in Seoul for the Spring 2012 term. So it will be really helpful if you can analyze my chance and/or offer suggestions in which I can be more competitive.
I recently graduated from a university in the US. I have also studied in a university in Seoul for 3 months. (Summer school). I'm female and Asian-American.
So what do you think my chances are for a Seoul public school position? (I also up for a hagwon - but I prefer PS). And is there anything I can do now to increase my chances??
Thank you |

I think by applying early will give you the best shot at getting a job with SMOE. Being Asian American will have little impact with a public school job. When I had my training with SMOE two years ago, I would say that probablly a third of the teachers were kyopos (Korean American) or of Asian decent. If you apply for a hogwan it will make more of a difference. I think being young and female helps. This is just my opinion but I think schools prefer young female teachers. Be persistent. Good luck.  |
