I have a question concerning the start of the public school year
in 2009 - March. Currently, I am working at a middle school.

I would like to sign on to another public middle school contract
but not at the same school in Seoul.

I am unsure of the process. What documents will I have to
submit, if any ? Do I have to work through a recruiter?
Or, do I speak directly with someone at SMOE ?
Particularly, if the school I would go to would be
under the EPIK umbrella.

For those that have done this, how likely is it to request
a city and have said request honoured ? I have one year
under SMOE and I am, I believe, on good terms with the principal.

What say you ?

I apologize for the lapse in response to my thread.

Thanks Tom.

I was feeling that they might superficially entertain
my request, but try to plant me in some town in
wazoo. As I have a vested interest in a particular
city-Deajon, a last minute change would severely
complicate things.

Do you think if I used my initial recruiter (WnPlay)
to push for a particular city that this would be a useful
strategy ?

I know that I will forsake my 2 week leave, but there
is no way I would stay at my current school.
