I have recently been ESL certified and was recommend to a recruiter. He is a very nice, professional, American guy, but his network is limited to Seoul. I would ideally like to work in Busan. Does anyone have any schools, recruiters, etc. that specialize in the Busan area?

Thanks

This website has a bunch of Busan-specific info, including some job postings and recruiters and the like. Good luck

They mostly find positions in Busan and surrounding cities (Ulsan, Changwon, Masan, Geoje-do).

I'd recommend both Mary and James (M&J) and Su at ESLJobKorea. Both post on Dave's and Hi Teacher! frequently, so you should be able to find them.

I'd steer clear of RBI. They sent me to a few schools which they assured me were good, but when I dug a little deeper, I discovered that there was really bad word of mouth about them. Maybe they have some good schools, too, but it was hard to trust them after this happened more than once.

I have been looking for jobs in Busan as well and have come across Korvia as a very reputable recruitment company. They have an application for the Busan area specifically called EPIK that I have been working on but it is lengthly and specific.

Have you heard of this?

A recruiter got back to me quickly from Korvia ( I am just beginning the process of finding a job) and I have read on other forums that they were very good.
