Korean Job Discussion Forums

Hey guys,

This is my first post but I've been reading these forums for a while now while I try to navigate my way through what seems like a very confusing process and actually get myself a job in Korea. So I've decided to take my chances and go for a Hagwon, I applied to a few recruiters and I've got a phone interview lined up for Happy Suwon English Village in Suwon, it's through Touch 4 Teaching. Does anyone know anything about either the recruiter or the school? I've done some research online and although I've found some pretty unfavourable stuff about some of the other English Villages, I can't find anything bad for this one.

I've also got an interview lined up next week with EBRI Club Language in Gangneung- I can't find anything at all about this one.

Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance

I haven't heard too many positive things about working in an English Village in general. I can't say anything specifically about Suwon, but you absolutely must speak with someone who works there before you even think about sending your docs or anything like that. Overall Suwon is a cool city though.
