Hi!
Does anyone know any programs besides TALK that have short term contracts that place you in the city? I was considering TALK until they told me during the interview that they place you in rural areas. I honestly don't think I'm ready for that yet.
For those of you who've secured jobs in Seoul, was it difficult? Which school/ recruiting agency did you go through?
Thanks for your help!

IF you are in Seoul and have an E2 or a D10 then start banging on doors.

If you area abroad and trying to get a short term gig = fat chance.

Or will I be able to cancel a year contract?

As in quit and leave the country = No, of course not. You are an indentured servant and will be imprisoned until your contract term is complete. Wink

Seriously, if you want a short term job, go to China. They recruit for 5-6 month (1 term) positions.

If you want to fly on your own dime (which is what you will end up doing on a short term job) then pick a country, buy and ticket and get on the plane.
