Greetings from Melbourne,

I am looking for a three to four month contract maximum at any school. I am hoping a school where you are working at needs a fill in teacher for a short period. I can not stay in Korea for long as I am paying rent here in Melbourne and can at no cost afford to lose the property so I will be paying rent here even if I am absent. If you are Australian then you will know of the property and rental crisis that has affected many people in Melbourne and Sydney. I also have a son I do not want to be absent from for too long.

If your school requires a professional teacher with qualifications to teach in ESL then I am a very good candidate. I have excellent referees, professional, and a police clearance. Hit me up if any of you guys know of a vacancy. There is no need to start a thread on this topic. Please send replies to the inbox, MATE.

Your best option is to apply for one of the summer camps listed on the Korea job board.

If you have all your documents ready, then you could apply to regular job adverts and then tell them during or after the interview that you only want to stay for 4 months.

Keep in mind that with a short contract like that, you'll likely get no benefits at all. No plane ticket. Probably no free apartment. Just the salary. Also, a lot of schools/recruiters will say "no" because it's not worth the hassle. Some will be desperate for a teacher to start right away, and may be willing to hire yuo (without the standard job benefits).

Your best bet thought would be a camp job if you can still get one.
