So, I've been in the position of trying to recruit teachers for my gf's school lately and the process has been interesting (... to say the least). Not all the applicants have been 'special' but there has been a fair few interesting ones out there...
* The guy who sent a photo of himself completely dressed in a santa claus outfit
* The guy whose resume stated that the CIA have been persecuting him for his whole life.
* The girl who wanted 2.3 because she had an education masters, had fluent Korean and had worked in a hogwon in Korea for 6 months. Each of these points turned out later to be untrue.
* The girl who asked me 5 emails in a row where the school was in Korea. I responded each time that it was in the city of Daegu. Then I'm finally talking to her on the telephone and she asks 'which part of Seoul wil I be in again ?'
* The guy who had 'anger issues' and had been through about 8 schools in 2 years. His resume included gems like ... 'through my vast ESL experience I've learned not to lose it compleletly when someone asks me to finish grading during my lunch-break'.
* People with sexually explicit email addresses ... [email protected]
* At least two people who have backed out at the last minute without so much as an email or phone call.
* Various one line job applications - like " I'd like to teach at your school cuz I have to leave here pretty soon - pls send me the details"
... the fun never stops ... |
Back then a lot of these people probably could get jobs in Korea. In today's market... I'm not so sure. |
