I just got another job. It took about 17 minutes. 2.3 mil per month for 20 hours of work each week. I sent out 3 resumes at 9:45 PM. I'm not certain I have the job to be honest, but it looks like it. That doesn't matter much, if not this one, another one.

Its hard to get back to my profession with these addictive jobs. I get that cash plus part time work cash.

There is something wrong with that, its too easy. I'm feeling really spoiled and I don't think its prepping my adequately for real world competition. I think its very bad somehow.

Don't think. Just make this your profession and be done with it. Give up.

Easy job - should be called an easy to get job. I don't have much of a problem getting a job here. It goes pretty quick and I try to be choosey. The effort has a caveat in that I really am not becoming marketable back home. Here I will always be teaching unless I start a business. Back home, its forms and interviews. Sometimes in front of a half dozen managerial staff and the union rep. Having an Uno deck doesn't help. Yea I'm torn but if I want the $100,000 years, its not gonna happen here. I pretty much just hide from rejection here or at least the scrutiny associated with job hunts or sales calls.

Dulouz, could you show us your resume?
I'm curious to see what sort of qualifications could get a person a job like that!

Living here has mde me twice as lazy as what i was back home..

back home i had a tough job that required 10 or 11 hours a day in a professional environment(read mad advertising strategy and reading niche reports, etc..)

The life here is easy if you can get a good job...doesn't mean i don't try hard, i do try very hard at my work but still doesn't mean i don't find the work easy and enjoyable..

I know exactly where you are coming from

There are only 3 qualifications needed to get something like that, or better, besides a degree:

1) balls of steel

2) the right timing (February is hiring time)

3) greed

But do you really want a new job every five months? And the broken promises that go with Korean employer-employee relations?
