I'm filling out a public school application (I'm pretty sure this is not the right time of the year for it but my recruiter says he always has jobs available so, I have no idea, that isn't the reason for this post). I'm having trouble with the essay, I'm still 120 words short. In general what else should I talk about in this essay/cover letter? I've already done the why I want to come to Korea/educational philosophy/cultural differences part. I don't know how I can have an educational philosophy when I've never taught before but I think I wrote something halfway decent. It's hard to know what to write because I have no experience. I've only had one job before and it did not require a cover letter. Any advice? I would really appreciate it.

Don't you mean Dokdo? Laughing

I understand they are new, but maybe they shouldn't be calling it by the Japanese name.

That's the real problem here, I've never even tried kimchi. Sad I won't tell them that. I finished my letter, it's not perfect but it's the best I can do. I put in some future goals, thanks for the suggestion.
