Hi,

I am looking to teach English in Korea and am talking to Park English and Reach to Teach Recruiting. I was wondering if anyone had any reviews or experiences with either one of these recruiters. Any information would be helpful.

Park's either hit or miss. You'll love'em or hate'em. I went to a great position through them last year. This year, I went through a corporate hagwon recruiter. So, eh. Depends.

Park has a history of spamming your photo, resume and possibly passport to basically anyone whose e-mail they can get a hold of. I haven't gotten an email from them in awhile, but last fall they were trolling daves for everyone's publicly listed email addresses (like MSN) and spamming their recruitment e-mails to them and their ads to buy their book.

I wouldn't go near them with a 10 foot pole.
As I said, they haven't done it in a bit, but they apparently thought it was a good idea at one point so that might tell you something about them.

Going through RTT now and so far they couldn't be any more helpful. We'll see if this lasts but they have done a good just up to this point checking in and seeing how things are going. The first day EPIK applications were due was on April 1st and they e-mailed a few times to see if they could help the process along in any way. Like I said, I'm in the midst of everything now and they could just stop talking to me one day but for now they are solid.

What do I think of Park English? Well it rhymes with keeping FIT and it has do with something you shovel after a cow eats hay.
