My recruiter got me an after school position. For this position, I had to do a phone interview with somebody at Daekyo (daekyo.com) who I guess is in charge of after school positions in that area of Korea.

Question Does this mean I'm working for a private company?

Question Also, they are telling me that they will repay my airfare once I get to Korea. I thought public schools pay for flight ahead of time?

Your input is appreciated. Also, if you have any experience/info. with Daekyo, let me know. You can PM me if u like.

Thanks!

Thanks.

Sometimes I almost wish I never found this website! Laughing I have been extremely paranoid and over analyzing every little thing that comes up with my recruiter/contracts/etc.

Personally, I don't take jobs that don't pay my airfare up front. Never in my career have I done that. YMMV if you're with GEPIK or EPIK.

What does YMMV stand for again?

Great, another new one(JFGI)! LOL!

They told me they'll reimburse for the airfare....do they have some sort of price limit? I'm sure they won't pay for Business/First Class fees.

What do you give them, your itinerary or something?
