Troglodyte,
Would there be harm in telling my recruiter though? My thought is (assuming I get an ethical recruiter... yes, I've heard these are few and far in between) that the recruiter, keeping this in mind, could perhaps warn me about individual schools or direct me toward schools whose owners they know would not mind this sort of thing.
I wouldn't want to not say anything to them and then get fired for a fictional reason 3 months into my contract, with no options or support, when there is the possibility that they could have known and done something about it. But I am well aware that just like private academies, recruiters are in it to make money. |
whatever your reasons for wanting to tell a recruiter don't really matter - what matters is if you DO mention it, it will greatly decrease your chance of getting an interview, much less a job. I've had more than one Korean tell me in very colorful language just how despised recruiters are - allegedly by all Koreans - I do know one who is legit but that's it.
at any rate, once you do get hired, you will learn pretty quickly how accepted you are and if things are going well or not. I seriously doubt it would come as a surprise for you to get fired - you'll know it's either an issue or it isn't.
btw, how bad is your limp? Korea's infrastructure is sometimes difficult - do stairs bother you? that's something to be aware of if they do - I have a bad knee and constantly struggle with stairs - in winter, streets are often icy with little maintenance, especially in the provinces.
once you start getting offers from schools, post on here again for more info on the areas if any of this is a concern. |
