 |
|
I applied to ASK NOW Acccess South Korea and am getting my documents together to send them. Does anyone know anything about their program, and is it legit? They claim that you get free housing, airfare, and paid relatively well, but it seems almost too good to be true.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Ask Now is a recruiter, not an employer. They don't have a 'program'. Consider him your introduction to your employer, nothing else. If you like the contract, sign it, get your work visa. If you don't like your contract, don't sign it, look for another job.
Also, as a note of advice, please look at the exchange rate before you decide what 'relatively well' means. |

John - everyone that comes to Korea to teach ESL is generally offered housing and a free airfare. It's one of the best benefits of working here. I think that because the public school jobs offer these things, the hagwons (private cram schools) follow suit. Expect it written into any contract that you sign.
