Korean Job Discussion Forums

Hi!

Has anyone worked at KNC Hyunjae in Seoul (Mokdong)? I have been offered a job there and I`m sort of leaning towards it as the money is alright and there are a good few foreign teachers. Plus I am in a hurry! However, I have searched on it and the news isnt great, though I am not a fussy person (I worked in an ECC for over a year and let them get away with a load of crap, which I won`t do again!). I don`t want to go to somewhere that is really hell either though.

Thanks,

Dawn

may be relevant, though perhaps you've seen that thread

I know nothing of this school except for the fact that they have been looking for teachers since May. Perhaps it's a red flag.

I can't say here what I want to say because of Korea's libel laws (I learned the hard way), so feel free to PM me and we can have a nice private discussion about how I feel about this place.

I'm on Facebook if you can't use the PM function. Contact me!

you may want to do a google search of "korean blacklist." There are a few websites where you can see if anyone has any major complaints about particular schools.

There was a 6 page thread about the place, detailing the negative experiences of about 20 ex-employees.

For some reason , Dave's deleted it recently.

The thread was deleted because some comments in the thread were used in a libel case against the author. A new Korean libel law (August 2009) states that anything that is used in a libel suit must be deleted from the site in question.
