This is getting really pathetic now!
I've been to 3 places in Gangnam,Seoul this week and
all ofem rejected me because I'm "A GYOPO".

Anyway, does anybody know of a place where they would
let gyopos work too?

[eamo]

I know the Ewha ALS chain hire gyopyos because I work with a few there right now.

[Yaya]

The key to finding work as a gyopo is to speak Korean. You'll definitely raise your marketability that way.

"If you speak three languages, you're trilingual. Two languages, bilingual. One language, AMERICAN."

[kiddblount]

berlitz has some gyopos. pm for details.

I've heard bad things on Blacklist sites about EWHA ALS offices run by Regina Kim (branch unspecified) and Hilary No (Daegu). Just beware.

you might want to try elite korea, they're hiring right now and they're on dave's esl cafe.

try the english spectrum site too and there's a web site called korea gyopos. you might want to get in touch with esl recruit, they i know, have a job at a tv station in youido.

good luck

Thanks for the info Girl.

I couldn't find ESL Recruit using search engines, so if you happen to have a contact for them, I'm all ears. TV station would be cool.. those actresses are perty

[girl]

it's www.eslrecruit.com or [email protected]

i know that footprints recruiting is really good, i'm a korean american too and they're doing a lot to help me out.

good luck

Just post online on eslcafe.com for jobs wanted..

I went searching for 'english teachers korea' on search engines.. and found alot more than just eslcafe..

There are alot of jobs for Kyopos.. in fact, just the other day someone called me and asked specifically if i was a kyopo.. and i said 'no' and they said i'm sorry we're looking for a kyopo..

Another thing, I've also went from place to place looking in the most desireable places like Jongno or Shinchon or wherever.. and routinely they say 'no'.. the demand is pretty high and they are extremely visible and popular..

Anyhow, post your resume online, and do some search engine searches for schools.. going to 3 schools is not enough.. particularly not when you are wandering around the most highly visible places in Jongno.. they probably have 2-3 teachers a day that stop in there.. i know.. because i've been to all those places myself..

[Tiger Beer]

I just did an online search and now I know about 1000 of them.. here are a few I just pulled up within the last few minutes.. oddly enough, apparently you didn't try JONGNO PAGODA.. one of the most visible to find while you were in Jongno.. as they are hiring specifically for a kyopo.. anyhow.. here are some leads for you..

in addition to those i briefly skimmed.. i didn't post anything from this website which has kyopo all over it.. http://englishwork.com/list/list_ss_e.htm

anyhow did you REALLY look anywhere for jobs? Did you really even go to JONGNO? I can't figure if you had a serious problem or if you just posted as a.. ahmm.. troll posting?

[girl]

you might want to try the elite korea, elite education inc. i know that they're hiring and they don't bother with what you are. his email address is [email protected]

good luck

Tiger Beer & Girl, THANKS. I really appreciate the help.

Leej00, sorry I had to virtually hijack and mooch off your post.. haha. I'm also a kyopo looking for my first job... thanks.

If anyone has some more info, please keep 'em coming also.

[Tiger Beer]

Sure there are 1000s and 1000s of jobs for Gyopos.. if you need more assistance.. I could spend another 5 minutes and copy and paste really quick so you have another 20-30 leads or so..

I've been turned down my a couple really GOOD jobs because I wasn't gyopo.. actually I'm done with my job search.. I found one that I wanted.. but if you are still having problems.. I can pass along ALOT more.. there are SO MANY!!

Again, just go to any search engine.. search for 'korea english teacher'.. on the sites, look at 'jobs offered'.. eslcafe is only one source.. but there are dozens and dozens of other websites.. I was seeing them left and right a couple weeks ago during my job search.. and I could pull alot more fairly quickly as well..
