I started the job hunt as I just returned back to korea last week and to my suprise recruiters are snobbing me!?!?

I have applied for a number of jobs posted on the internet, given my details and also mentioned if they have anything similar to talk to me. Days later nothing...

I am just...shocked...

Before they would harass me 24/7 when I was a noobie out of the country.

Now im in korea, f-2 being processed, with exp and ready to go. But nothing...

Hmmm

Well all the jobs posted on the net are done by recruiters. If theres another way by all means tell me. I would prefer to keep them out of the loop to avoid their little white lies.

"Oh yes the job is in a big city" yet when I arrive I can't help but enjoy the country view.

posted by recruiters, who never replied
I should also only mention I have been applying for the NOT BAD jobs like after school positions, public school etc

I pretty much only use work n play now, because it has the largest supply of listings

They probably don't have what you're asking for right now. Bad timing is most likely unless they remember you applying and contacting them many times, but not taking a job.

I also noticed they are more interested in me when I am out of country. Not sure why that is.

Because you are more likely to accept a bad position from overseas.

Yeah, when your a nooby you don't know about where stuff is, so they shift you out to their out of seoul jobs they can't fill. But then again I would work out of seoul but my wife wouldn't even consider the prospect of living out of seoul. That is just crazy talk!

Evil or Very Mad whats even more annoying, is showing up for an interview only for them to say the position has been filled. I guess im not worth the 5 cents to call...

If that happens to my other interview today im going to be pissed. Becauses it over an hour away. (yet the school is 5 minutes away, good job picking a recruiter so far from your school)

Maybe the OP said "snobbed" to them and now they're avoiding the OP because of questionable English skills

donno - was also wondering why you didn't know it was snubbed, not "snobbed" - is that even a word? Laughing Laughing

anyway, I agree about they'd rather have a newbie - recruiters are the worst of the lot - they want someone who doesn't know any better - the more experience you have the less likely they are to heap job offers on you.

korea, uh huh Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
