Just Do It. As Seoul Nate recommended hit the streets, find an area with a bunch of schools, look neat, go in ask to talk to manager and give a resume. Talk to friends, friend of friends, facbook groups and so on. Look online from Cragislist to Daves lost of job postings. Use recruiters, just be careful.

Also start now before you even finish you current contract. Get all prepared now paperwork ready and so on. Money too. The more prepared you are the better the job you will get. Got all your paperwork ready - schools will snap you up. Finished a contract already - great school does not need to do an interview.

Some advice is get your priorities straight - where do you want to work? What kind of students? Now what you want and do not want? How long do you have to find the job you want. I mean if you will take anything you will be hired in a day, but if you want something special it might take a month or two.

Are you also prepared to move, where are you going to stay? You luggage and boxes where are they going, etc, etc. Are you wanting to go back home or someplace for vacation. The more you are prepared and start now the better off you will be.

Im looking to go somewhere a little more scenic than a seoul satellite. I make beginners public school pay now. I am looking for a rural PS that isn't directly through EPIK. I would rather have a contract through a local education office. Basically, I want some peace, quiet, and money. My current contract is over in September, I just found out the extra classes I was going to do for my school got canceled for next semester, so I gotta look for greener pastures.
