I am searching online for a few companies to assist me in my application packet for a teaching job in Seoul, South Korea.

I sent in a application with Gone2Korea already. However are there any other agencies I should be using? or any other agencies I should know about or best practices in order to get my application accepted?

Thanks in advance.

apply to EVERYTHING that catches your eye.

Recruiting agencies are like used car lots.
You walk by and stop if something catches your eye.

Talk to 1 recruiter and you have a 5% chance of finding something decent.
Talk to 20 and your odds improve dramatically.

Is there any problems you may forsee by applying to EVERYTHING? like for example if a few companies find out I went to other companies or whatnot, is there a potential problem there? or I am guessing, its better because hopefully I will get more contract offers, and I can choose the best one, rather then just having to pick the one I end up getting which might be a real shitty deal. True?

True.

The ONLY exception would be if you were applying to EPIK or GEPIK.

They limit applications to ONCE per applicant or they discard your application.

Yes, EPIK is for public schools but not all public schools are EPIK.
