What's the current approach to cover letters/application tips and finding cottage cheese + a decent hakwon or uni job in Korea?

BTW, I searched and have read all the relevant threads I could find.

Thanks in advance and have a great day.

All the best,

Cottage cheese can be found at Hannam market (bottom of the Volvo building just past the Hangangjin subway stop on line 6 - near Itaewon) on a hit or miss basis. It's actually at a kiosk in front of the market. It comes from the base, and you should be careful about checking the expiry date before you buy it. Sometimes he's trying to sell stuff that's already expired. I've been desperate enough to buy it anyway on some occasions, but you may be fussier than I. I find he often has it on Sundays, but during the week, it's scarce.

Some wag will no doubt post that you should get a friend to buy it off the base for you. This is only helpful advice if you already have a friend on the base. Or, if you're cold enough to befriend someone for the sole purpose of cottage cheese (and peanut butter cup) procurement. In my darkest hour, I've considered it, but I figured I'd be pretty transparent.

The lady at the red door may carry it too, now that I think of it, as she has a refrigerator. She also carries Crystal Light, which is the only place I've ever seen that in Korea.

Hello GypsyTrader and welcome to the board.

Have you seen the FAQ section?

You'll find some application tips at the following links, but not sure if cover letters are covered. Great advice in the second thread about getting a uni job.

Oh, I thought this thread was about my ex-girlfriend. Sorry.
