I need some help!

Ive spent the last couple of months looking at various websites most days trying to find a good job. Then I think ive found one and through research...it appears a bit shady, wrong location or offering *beep* salary.

Does anyone know of any decent sch's or have any job openings at there school for Sept??

Im a qualified teacher/degree in Linguistics and have TESOL Cert. I believe im worth more than 1.8 mil...but I dunno.

Im looking for block shifts and preferably in Gangnam area...or near by, hrs between 9am-9pm and salary 2.1+

Im sick of recruiters offering one or two and then never hearing from them again so that why I thought maybe this could be an easier way about it!! Id reallly appreciate the help!

There must be lots of jobs that meet your normal and not greedy requirements. Don't take less than 2 million for an average 30 hours per week job. Make sure housing (or at least a reasonable allowance) is included. Around Kangnam housing is really expensive. With your qualifications and expectations there must be a lot of jobs. Some employers are fussy about nationality, though.

I think www.unitedeslcafe.com has a lot of jobs on it.

Japan! Or how bout Vietnam, Taiwan or Thailand. Many end up here because most schools don't look for TESL qualifications.

Yeah, I know there are other countries to work in but ive decided Korea is a good place to make some quick cash.

I never thought it would be this hard and im getting so tired of replying to so many recruiters and not getting anywhere...thats why I thought it would be easier to make a post and see if anyone knew of any quality jobs around gangnam.

Ive thought about sending my resumes directly to schools but I wuldnt have a clue on which ones...

Lets just say its definately doing my head in!

I put up a list of job sites on my link below with tips on good jobs. (look under 'j' for 'jobs'). Not all of them are through recruiters. I also suggest being a bit more flexible with location.
