Is it normal for a recruiter to send you an offer with only a salary/wage but no contract and information in regards to the school/location?

I have applied for a private school and they already collected my visa information.

Is everything supposed to seem this last minute and unorganized?

Why can't they promise a location? or general location?

I think I just have general recruiter frustrations.

It's normal but it's no reason to put up with it.

Sometimes Recruiters will be vague about addresses to prevent teachers from going around them. But at the point you have filled out a contact and forms they should at least give you an address and details.

You will find a high percentage of Koreans could not organize a Sunday school picnic. My advice is do not contact them and start looking for another job. If they want you badly they will bend over a bit more to work with you.

Just remember the job market is becoming increasingling competetive. even in the Esl market which has been looked down upon in last few boom years. Just be cautious and open minded.

The things is i already received and offer and am just waiting for my actual contract with my placement. I guess I'm just getting a little anxious because I should be leaving in August... and well that's getting pretty close.

basically i don't think i can afford to be passive at this point
