Lots of people prefer Seoul.

I'm still looking for a job and thought my inbox would be flooded with jobs....I sent my pic and resume to six recruiters. I got a response from 4 and spoke with them on the phone, but only got 4-5 jobs sent to me in a month. I finally got 2 interviews and offers from schools in Daegu, but did not like the contract on the first one and then 2nd one wanted me to work prior to receiving my visa.
I got an interview on Monday with a school in Guri City and I hope to get that job. I have yet to see any jobs in Seoul and very few in the surrounding areas. I think there are plenty of jobs, you just have to go south a little bit. |

An investor visa? Sure if you have 100 million won to invest. But wait there's a catch to that as well. That has to be money you earned OUTSIDE of Korea. |
Wait, what? Why did they make that rule? Too many English teachers saving their pennies and switching over? lol |

Check the job boards and look for recruiters. They can help.

Is anyone else having trouble finding a decent hakwon job near Seoul? I started off with high standards, now I just want something half decent. I don't want to work till 11pm or work 50 hours week (around 9am till 730pm I have been offered a few times). Am I asking too much? 9pm would be fine. What happened to those jobs?
I have a year of teaching experience at a public school, which I wasn't able to stay at cause of the GEPIK cuts. Is it all the former GEPIK teachers applying for hakwon jobs that's making it difficult? Or do I just suck? Am I being unrealistic in hoping I can find a job that doesn't look terrible? |
