Are they not also requiring degrees from English speaking countries, which no one offers in Korea either? |

Replying to those GEPIK posts.... |
Shouldn't this represent an excellent business opportunity to some enterprising individual? |
There are already a few places in Korea that offer 120 hr in class courses. |

Lots of folks are negative on Dave's. Compared to the past, it's difficult, but there are plenty of folks who are still getting hagwon jobs. I know one girl who recently got one, but she had experience in Korea. We still get newcomers, but the competition is tougher when compared to the past. Keep on trying and plugging away. Don't give up. Do you have a good recruiter? |

Hmmm...Was it the gender or the experience?  Both? (?_?) |

Imagine if all of us..one day decided not to submit ourselves to labor in exchange for money that is literally created out of thin air. No competition between humans and the systemic structural violence that it creates..
Oops...sorry I mean..."yeah so its hard to find work out here because I am not a white,blonde North American female. Jeez its hard to get a university job that pays over 2.1 these days. Oh when will the glory days return in ESL Korea. China is where its at nowadays". Did I leave something out??? |

Where have you popped up from, out of nowhere?
Anyway, you won't have much luck here. Sadly, the Korean forum at Dave's has a staunchly reactionary conservative user base. |

There is a spelling mistake. The word "prefeered" should read "preferred" |

Quit your job whenever it makes you happy. Sit around and breath the free oxygen and think about how those steaks use to taste. |

40,000 (not 50,000) is standard for a one to ones with ajossis now, even for the "female preferred/female only" positions (which is indicative of the deteriorating market).
It seems like the "only females can apply" ads stating the student's gender as male would scare off a few potential takers before they even apply. Wouldn't it be smarter to hide/selectively omit that information or at least the fact the male student wants a female teacher? For language development, it'd be better to learn from the same gender (to listen to/ mimic a more similar voice). |

For language development, it'd be better to learn from someone who knows what they're doing, of either sex. I've had one to one lessons from women who were hopeless and from guys who made an effort and I know which one I'd prefer. Either this guy isn't really bothered about the learning English part or he does want to learn English but thinks, like a lot of Koreans that one random native speaker would be as good a teacher as another. If I believed that, I'd probably ask for a female teacher too. |

Yes I am and fortunately it's nothing like that cartoon. I think most guys if they were honest, in a situation where they had to talk to someone as paid work, would rather talk to a woman. No? So I think it also works the other way |
