I would also include any tutoring you might have done or any experience working with children or young adults.

Well, I can tell you what to omit: fluent in Japanese.
This assest can land you a good job in Japan, where
the people are more polite and considerate, the jobs
less stressful and demanding (a more reasonable #
of daily teaching hours), the environment cleaner,
and the standard of living higher. Forget about Korea
if you can, unless you want to have more spending
power without hurting your savings and experience
the company of highly animated natives who wish to
show how hospitable and inviting Koreans can be. Cool

Should questions come regarding your appearence or your name/surname, just say your Dad is Italien. It shouldn't bother them any, since Koreans like Italy although they know nothing about it. I know; I've a mega-Italien surname, and Koreans ask about it all the time. They think it oh-so romantic that I've an Italien father. Rolling Eyes

Good journey, Cheers,
Pauline

All right, in any applications/interviews/correspondence I'll just say I'm "american" and not bother to elaborate

haha, man, I hope that people aren't quite as racist as some of this forum's inhabitants imply.. oh wells

haha, are you saying Korea is good or bad?

I dunno, if I could find a job in Japan as readily as in Korea without having to work full-time just to barely make ends meet, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot

I was planning to go to Japan for three months after I'm done in Korea, since I have a contact through my boss and the university of washington who can get me a paid trip there, but it has to be after next April, and I can't hang around for 5 months in my dad's basement without a job..

haha, sounds good

My grandfather was born in Italy, and then was an olympic boxer in Argentina, and then moved to the US

I guess I can just leave out the "argentina" in the middle

I don't know that much about Argentina, actually, but isn't it composed mostly of white people? Well, I guess "white" is a relative term

Since working in Korea I've added that I'm very experienced with Special Ed classes.

How well does a communications degree go over? Does extensive experience working with/teaching/coaching various age levels help?
