I just started sending my resume out and I haven't been getting too many responses from my recruiters. Are recruiters very fickle about resumes or is it just difficult to get responses in general? I tried looking up some guidelines for building resumes for teaching in Korea, they all center around previous childcare experience. I have a few months worth of experience but not much else I can emphasize on.

Hey.

I'm sure that one of their major concerns is whether or not you have your documents ready to go. If you emphasize this fact then you will probably get more responses.

Good luck.

You have your documentation in hand?

If yes, then include some low resolution scans of your degree, CBC and professional looking photo with your resume.

If no, then that would explain the lack of response to your queries/applications.
If no then you are at best, months away from being able to even apply for a visa and most jobs are advertised with less than 60 days from start.
