If I were you I'd apply for EPIK maybe through another recruiter since you already volunteered that medical info to Korvia. There is no reason for you to tell them about that stuff especially since it did not require medical attention and you weren't on meds, I personally left out a minor medical thing about my medical history since I know the Koreans may see it as a bigger deal than in the U.S.

ah, well from what i understand its impossible since i already failed with epik. i hear if you try to reapply with them through a recruiter, after having initially been rejected by them, they will henceforth bar you from application entirely.

I'd start with learning some punctuation. It's really not that hard to hit the shift key now and again.

I'm not kidding or just being an ass, presentation is important.


so are you going to offer me a job? are you telling me this because you can give me a job? do you understand im having a stressful time looking for work? you think i didnt use punctuation on a professional application? seriously man.


It was just a suggestion. If you want your questions here to be taken seriously, you could at least make an effort to make them presentable. As it is, I'm inclined to ignore them. Much like EPIK ignored your application.

Yes, I spoke to them already and they said I should go with hagwons because I told them I had anxiety issues for a short while during college and they said that I would not be mentally suitable for public schools.


You told EPIK that you are prone to anxiety issues? That's a huge red flag. In the future you need to leave that type of information out. Do not even mention that you are prone to any type of mental issue. It's looked down on in Asia. They don't have the support that we have in the West.
