| I am having trouble securing a job because of a poor reference and want to take my chances in person. Does anyone have experience looking once in Korea. I will be staying with my boyfriend while I look. |

Spot on.

| I did it in 2009 for my first job due to a cancelled TESOL class in Taiwan and it worked out okay. That was a different world though. |
