So I'm doing all the usual stuff, checking on here, googling, checking websites directly but if anyone has any leads of places hiring (which will accept an MA in progress) I would really appreciate the information.

Any location is okay, college level is okay (I want to build up experience).

I have 6 years of teaching experience, 5 of which were in Korea.

You're too late for the fall semester and too early for the spring one. Start looking for ads in December and January.

I have already found around 30 places hiring for the spring semester with some deadlines having already passed.

Yes, but hey, any lead helps, right? It's pretty competitive these days and some jobs only seem to get advertised in some pretty obscure places.

Too late for round 1, but some schools may still look again if someone they try to hire ends up canceling.

We are not hiring.

Oh, right. I stand corrected. I forgot about the insane time it takes to get an E2 visa nowadays, and so I speaking in terms of when I used to need to apply for an E2.

(Note: This is a search for jobs teaching university-aged students, so some of them might be private hagwon jobs.)

My school just sent out letters a week or two ago asking who wanted to be signed again for spring, so I wouldn't expect them to start hiring for a couple weeks until after they crunch numbers.

heard that (at least the parent school of) that place expects at least five years of experience at the university/college/adult hakwon to get hired on. also heard that someone's friend of a friend was recently turned down with 10 years of experience in korea. an actual master's in hand would be beneficial, with the 5 yrs in korea. as well, heard only one person is being hired. as it is apparently one of the better/best? lower-tiered places in all of busan, and perhaps korea?(definitely when schedule and vacation are considered), it may not be the easiest place to become a teacher at. no harm in applying though, i'm sure. same as everywhere; more applications submitted will likely lead to the possibility of a hiring. best of luck/skill!
