I remember talking to someone in Korea who had a 6 month contract. It was her first time there and I think she got flights etc, but I dont know for sure. Anyone have one/know how to go about getting one?

The TaLK program was a 6 month deal, included flights and housing and did NOT require a university degree.

The only drawbacks were that the positions were in very rural southern South Korea and the pay was only 1.5 million per month.

No, it wasnt that, it was a Hagwon. Probably just approach via the usual channels and expect something out-of-the-way.

i know someone who just finished a 6month contract. the hogwan all told was pretty desperate (wonderland, but a decent enough one). she got her flight out paid for but had to pay her own flight back. and of course no bonus. she just came through a recruiter the usual way.

My missus did an additional 6-months on her second contract at her Hagwon. She completed it okay. Got paid everything she was due etc. There's also a guy in our town who has just re-signed for another (I think) 4-months with his PS.

Ive had some recruiters saying its possible but no return flight and no bonus (fair enough). If anybody works in a decent school that needs someone for 6 months PM me. Tar
