Korean Job Discussion Forums

So, I've read four or five different threads that discussed whether to give a gift to your director the first week.

My question is did you give a gift to your employer and if so, what was it.

I'm on the fence whether I should give a gift. I mean, it can't hurt can it?

Just bringing in a snack for everyone (not only the director) to share can go a long way in terms of good will, and it's a fairly common Korean practice. Buying a cake roll at Paris Baguette or something would probably be fine.

If your teaching elementary students provide boxes of snacks on a bi-weekly basis to the students. Be generous and the students will definitely like you. It's worth spending the money on that.

Everyone likes the teacher who buys the pizza.
