Hi! Just wondering maybe what are the best suggested times or months of the year to try and get a teaching job? I've read somewhere about February and August, is that somewhat true? What about May? I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

Most jobs come up at the start of the Spring and Autumn (Fall) terms. Therefore Feb/March and Aug/Sept are the peak times. There are jobs that come up around May time but mainly Hagwon roles, publics school fall into the peak category.

The main recruitment programs like EPIK/GEPIK do their recruiting in April/May for August job starts and Nov/Dec for March 2nd job starts.

The remainder of unfilled PS jobs are usually filled through private recruitment in Feb/March and Aug/Sept.

Hagwons hire year round with no real peaks or valleys in overall recruitment.
