I have tried searching, but haven't gotten any results.

I have been offered a job for 2.4mil. They are sending me a contract and some contact info of a current teacher. Regardless, I still want to know more.....

Anyone heard anything about English Harvard?

Thanks for your time!

No, but I wouldn't want that name on my resume.

Why would you want any job in Korea put on your resume? It's all Ding Ding Dang to them back home. I'd actually make a joke out of it: "I teach at Harvard! Ding Ding Dang Harvard!"

lol.

Yeah...what I choose to put on the resume after I finally return home will be interesting (and probably not good for job prospects either). Oh well.

Let me know if you find anything out about the school.

Thanks!

I would just write it the other way "Harvard English" and say it was a prep school for K-kids going to the Ivy League.

yeah. Not a bad idea to do it that way.


Still hoping to hear from someone who has worked at this place though.

Beats putting "I sat on my ass and leeched unemployment benefit for a year" on your CV Wink

With this country's chaebol system, it seems every company owns a part of every other company. You could probably find a link from many hagwons to Samsung or Hyundai or some other big company.

Might as well just put Samsung or Hyundai on your resume. It's technically correct, and your resume will look better.
