I'm a university graduate with a bachelors, but am now at a college working toward a diploma. I have four months of summer vacation ahead of me, and really want to teach english in Korea. I was there last summer for a short vacation and can't wait to go back.

Pretty much all of the jobs posted on Dave's Job Board require a one-year contract. I've reached out to some of the recruiters asking for advice, but only one has gotten back to me saying they would keep an eye out for four-month positions. But it's not looking too promising at this point.

Does anyone have any experience working for a short period of time in Korea? Any advice would be much appreciated.

You might find a camp position for a month or so (cover the cost of your airfare and put $1000 in your pocket.

You won't find anything for 4 months (less than one academic term).

You will not find what you are looking for because its not offered in Korea.

Like Tom said your option is working for a camp for a month or so.
