|
|
What are people thinking when they name their institutes? How could I put on my resume after a year in Korea:
2004-2005 Teacher at "Ding Dong Dang".
or
I worked at "The Little School on the Hill"
or
I gained ESL teaching experience at "One English School".
Do you consider the name of the school before accepting a position? |

If you think your home country emloyers will not call the schools (and I don't think many would) you could probably just give the school a little euphemism of a name. So, instead of Ding Ding Dang, you could say DDD Language Institute or instead of Little School on the Hill, you could say Junior Academy on the Hill. |

Just be thankful that it wasn't Brainy English school, or Let's English.  |

My parents saw me searching for hotels on the internet when I was planning my first trip to Seoul.
They REALLY wanted me to stay at "A Dong" hotel -- and take pictures! |

I seriously recall seeing a 'Naughty Student English Language School' in Daegu. I don't think they had the enrollment to be able to hire a foreigner yet, though.  |

Yes. Not so much for resume purposes though. |
