I'm looking for a teaching job for November 2011. I would like to work for a public school, possibly an after school program. Can someone recommend a place or a good recruiting agency? Thanks!

Are you looking for a job in Seoul? Then I would say wait until March. Very few public school jobs are going to become available in the interim.

I'm not sure what recruiters to contact. But I saw a public school in Bundang for an October 18th start being advertised. (I can send you the link for it but I need to find it).

Some jobs openings will possibly become available in the next few weeks.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. But the prime hiring period has just finished.

If you're looking for a public school, you start applying now for starts in March 2012. It's possible to get public school positions mid-semester, but there aren't that many. Hagwons hire year round.

ATC recruiting is now hiring for Busan for Oct, Nov, and Dec start dates. I would google their website and apply through them. It's possible to get a public school job, but not really close to seoul unless your in country.

I prefer being outside of Seoul. I may have to wait until next year because I still have not received my paperwork, but am hoping it will come any day now. I think there are still some availible, if not I can work at a hagwon.

Try many recruiters and see what's the best option.

This is the best answer. You can only use 1 recruiter to make your application (unless they have changed that rule) but you can check them out and see which one is the best fit for you.

Don't use reach to teach that's for sure.

Although I haven't actually applied through him but while I was going through the process he. John Kellenberger ([email protected]), was immensely helpful, was organised and prompt when I needed him. Unfortunately I had to withdraw my app for personal reason.

I would suggest applying to as many as possible. I did a lot of researching, and applied to at least 10-15 different recruiters until I found the right fit for me.

Yup U.S. teaching market is tanking. I heard professors are even getting evaluated and also they might consider getting rid of tenure after 3 year rule. I think that 3 year rule should be taken out in some states because teacher might cruise by and not teach.

Definitely check out a lot of recruiters. It's a supply market.
