That's IF you don't have a sister-in-law already tenured at a Middle School in your HOMETOWN that you grew up and went to school at and have already taught at for a year. I can go back and she can probably set me up with a job now, but my wife and I wouldn't make as much money as we could here in Korea. So I can afford to wait it out.
I was a known trouble maker when I went to school there, and when I came back to sub and take over for my sister when she was pregnant, all of the teachers did a double take and was thrilled at what I turned out to be. I went and saw the superintendent at the Board of Education who at the time of my trouble making was V. Principal that handed me down all those detentions and he pretty much let me know I could have a job in the school district. I was/AM a success story!
I have contacts and a resume that speaks for itself. The vice principal at my sister's school went to school with my brother. When I taught there I bent over backwards for him and showed my dedication. He wrote me recommendation letters and wanted me to come back after my sister came back to her position after her pregnancy but I moved to Florida instead (still regret that). The time in Korea can easily be explained. I'm teaching here and in many states time spent in Korea counts toward your pension.
...I know my situation. What about you accountant/business/basket weaver--do you have your life sorted and mapped out and have an excuse for your prospective employer? Do you even have CLOSE to HALF of the amount of contacts I have?
Think before you speak. Your time in Korea in being wasted every calendar year.
NOT MINE. |
Good for you Dodge that you have someone to help you out when you ever make it back to Cleveland. I'm seriously pulling for you.
As for me; don't worry. I'm fine with my life how it is. I'm licensed back home as well and teach at an international school where I am. Watching the bank account grow as I type on my 6 week paid summer vacay.
I hope, for your sake, that you don't waste too much time living somewhere that you clearly can't stand. Good luck! |
And how'd you know I was from Cleveland? I swear you have to watch out about Dave's poster's between you and Northway I don't know who's stalking me more. I honestly don't know anything about anyone from this board--where you're from, what kind of jobs you held...but you guys pull posts I made last year out of the blue like you had them bookmarked with little heart icons next to them. Freaky. |

Nah, not a stalker at all. You tend to leave an impression more than most. I'll just chalk it up to my photographic memory, . Good luck, D7. I'll try to not post on threads that you have commented on, so as to not make you uncomfortable. |
