Not necessarily the single worst ad I've seen, but I'm see a lot of this lately:

Who (with an F-visa) is taking these jobs?

I saw something similar recently, but for 20k an hour, not 25k. (Maybe a recruiter/hagwon owner was testing the waters; I guess 20k is not flying (yet?!@.@), but for some reason 25k is I think, as evidenced by all the "25k per hour; F visas only" ads I see.

(The 20,000 per hour per job for only three consecutive hours that required an F-visa was so depressing to see. I pray to god that job wasn't filled.)

This ad is really something. You get to teach for 36 hours and 20 minutes over six days, compared against 30 hours in a typical hagwon and maybe 15 hours in a typical public school, all for the right to make 2.1 million won per month in Ansan.

I hope nobody takes this.

Some pathetically desperate person took this cause this job hasn't been re-advertised. So - you wreck your sleeping patterns and also work on Saturday for 2.1 million won BEFORE tax.

Incase you hadn't noticed half the world has been rendered 'pathetically desperate" by economic inequity and corporate greed. A jobs a job.

That surely must be the mistake Koreans commonly make, they meant 40민 won per hour ie 400,000 won per hour.

As for Gyeongju University I heard half of their foreign professors are from Filipino although none of them were featured in their promo video.
