Korean Job Discussion Forums

I have received 3-4 e-mails on this and a phone call as well for this job recently. The e-mail is titled 'High paying Public Schools'.

Has anyone else gotten it? More importantly, is anyone working for them now?

According to what i read, it seems quite good. But maybe too good to be true. That makes me suspicious, since I have been burned by Korean employers before.

Just a quick summary of the offer:

You can choose your own hours and work 10, 15, 20, or 25 hours a week. The pay rates are a bit higher than GEPIK or other.

Also, it gives you an option to work in other places, or multiple schools for F-2 and F-5 holders. The payrates are a bit unclear, but somewhat high. It says you'd do most of your work in public schools, but hints at kindergarten or company jobs as well for early morning and late evening.

I haven't, and it sounds fishy.

It sounds like a recruiter who is doing deals with public schools and also many small academies. The payrates are not so unbelievable. Maybe not paid vacation or whatever. That would make them more believable.

Another thing that set me off was the manager's name. Jamie Eom.

I had dealings with a lady named Jamie from Win Education. She rubbed me the total wrong way. If it's the same lady, I don't want to come within 100 years of her.

This was going around last year. Check the old threads, there was a discussion about it.

sounds like another illegal after school program

I know all about Win Education, but this may be a totally different company. This Jamie may be a different person.

This company's office is in Seocho, and Win Educations' was in Mokdong area.
