|
| Hi guys I am teaching for EPIK Gangwon-do. I hope to move to Seoul next year for EPIK. Do you know if I have to apply directly to EPIK or can I go through a recruiter? I was told by one recruiter to apply directly since I am already an EPIK teacher. Another said it would accept my application. Both are reputable recruiters. Thanks |

Does EPIK/Niied even hire for Seoul?
Try SMOE or with some PS experience maybe the Gangnam district office of education.
The alternative is a school (GEPIK) in a close in satellite city like Seongnam (the new PS schools in Bundang are only 30 minutes by bus from Itaewon).
Try to get a direct hire through a recruiter to a school in your choice of area.
Another alternative is to head in on a weekend and pass out bilingual (Korean/English) resumes and cover letters to the schools in the area you want to work in. Takes a little effort on your part but a direct hire is always better than the "roll-the-dice" get assigned to a school that you get with the main programs.

| I am part of the EPIK-hired people who got placed in Seoul for August 2009, but I don't think EPIK is doing Seoul again. They did Gyeonggi for March though, although I doubt they'll try that again. |

| From what I've heard from major recruiters and someone at the SMOE office, EPIK is indeed doing the hiring for SMOE this semester, and maybe for good. Strange, I know. I guess that's why you don't see any adverts for SMOE at the minute...just EPIK/GEPIK for August 2010. |
