| If someone calls you from Korea and is ready to hire you right then and there and asks for an answer, just run, run, run!!! Then when they want you there in a few days without you even seeing the contract or talking to other teachers, you should know something is up, and it's a huge red flag! |

Then the school would be happy for you to talk with teachers currently at the school. If it's a single-foreigner Hagwon, you don't want to be there in 90% of the cases anyway. Play your odds. |
