Hi all. Anyone done one of these? Any pointers on what to expect, format and likely questions I'll be asked?
Cheers

That university seems to be constantly advertizing for teachers. Almost every time I scan the job ads on this site, there's Woosung University looking for teachers again. Before bothering with that skype interview you might want to do a search on the university. Maybe it's okay, but I think the fact that its always in need of teachers is a red flag.

Woosong is a bottom tier Korean Uni. Woosong is sort of run like a Unigwon. They have various department even some childrens classes. Woosong I think is a good starting position for people wanting to get on the Uni track. For foreigner teachers it is an OK job. Not great, not bad. They just have a whole bunch of positions to fill usually because the employee many teachers.

Have a few friends that worked for them. Never really heard of any serious issues. Through there was something about a bit of expat politics and power games between foreigners. I think it settled down.

Word on the street is that lots of teachers bailed after verbally renewing.

Apply on mass by snail mail/email.

Provided you've got a little bit more about you than the average hagwan-er/Cass swiller, you might just get lucky.
