Does the Smoe have the same rule about only applying once - not multiple times with multiple recruiters?

What if you apply to a recruiter and then they don't follow through with the applications (either with Smoe or with Gepik) - can we then apply with another recruiter?

Thanks for answers to the questions above.

EPIK recruits for SMOE now.

I think when EPIK says "don't apply with multiple recruiters" they mean "don't send in EPIK applications through multiple recruiters". So if you never gave an EPIK application to a recruiter, then you didn't really "work with" that recruiter to apply for EPIK, and they're not really representing you.

The first recruiter I applied for for EPIK actually sent me a rejection letter after they (the recruiter, not EPIK) talked to me on the phone (this was after filling out the recruiter's application, not EPIK's). So I switched to Korvia and applied to EPIK through them and now I'm waiting to hear about my official EPIK interview!

If one recruiter doesn't want to work with you, just try another one

Also, I heard that if you submit your EPIK, GEPIK, or SMOE application to more than one recruiter, your application will be disqualified when it reaches the ministry of Education. So use ONE recruiter and submit your application only ONCE. However, if you're applying for a Hagwon position, I don't think it matters.

what they told me was, it looks like you are trying to cheat the system, get multiple interviews and such.
i am sure that will get an interview after you submit your app, unless there is something blatently false or wrong with it. just be patient. the process isnt fast or easy.
