I keep hearing about these sweet university jobs. You know, the ones that are like, 18 hours a week, four days a week, with four months paid vacation.

Personally I just want to know one thing:


How the hell do you get one of these sweet jobs?


I mean, not that my hakwon isn't super-cool, but seriously....4 months of paid vacation? I've got the traveling bone, and my current contract allots 5 days of paid vacation; clearly not enough vacation to scratch the itchy feet. Four months, however, would satisfy.


Is a Master's degree absolutely necessary? How about a degree in English Lit, a teaching certificate, two years of experience and an F-2 visa? How far would that get a brother?




Those of you with coveted uni jobs: there are enough to go around, please share how to get one.

18 hours a week is hardly a good job also while 4 months is good 5 is better. 12 hours is good, if you can land a 9 hour job you're set.

Anyhow read this post and follow the_beavers instructions. despite being an older post it is still 100% accurate about how to get a good position.

If there were "enough to go around", they wouldn't be coveted, now would they? Here's what you do: APPLY! Also, it helps to know someone already working at the places you apply, but I doubt some random poster is going to hook you up - we've all got friends in line already.

Apply, apply, and apply some more.

Dress well for the interview, be prepared, be courteous, be professional.

Your qualifications are definitely enough to get hired.

You don't need to teach at Uni to get 4 months paid vacation. A private High School might offer that too. But you will probably teach 20 hours a week.
