Korean Job Discussion Forums

So who's heard of this recuiter? I read in a couple places that they suck but no real reason why. They have been posting this same job ad for a while and it seems pretty good. Just wondering why they are still there. I just have a feeling I'm gonna get screwed (if not this job another job). Anyways I got an interview tomorrow but wondering if I should ditch it. Thanks for any input.

That looks very reasonable. What city?

All over Seoul, mostly north Seoul..there are like 8 different locations.

I think the 2 hour prep time required is a turn off.
There are many other after school programs and you only have to go up to 30 minutes before.
But not all provide the same benefits thou.
I get 2.6/month for 4 50 minute classes a day and go to school about 15 minutes before class.
