Korean Job Discussion Forums

[Angelus]

I've been working in Korea for a while now, and I haven't had to search for a job in numerous years so I'm kind of like a fish out of water so to speak. Anyway, I recently starting looking for positions through recruiters, but I haven't heard back from any of them. No phone call. No email. Nada. Is this typical recruiter behavior? So damn unprofessional. Maybe it's my age, gender, race? Maybe I don't fit their mold of an ideal instructor?? Any ideas?

With that said, anyone know of any reputable and professional recruiters?

Thanks.

Do you fit all three of the following:

Female
North American (preferably USA)
Recent graduate?
(Bonus: do you look young and cute on your profile pic)?

If you answered anything less than yes to all 3 (and supplied prrof of number 4) its not your moment. If it helps, as September pushes into October 3 yeses, become 2, become 1 become none.

Obviously being none of the three, im mad jelly. But it does get better. It took me (male, brit, late 30s - though super cute), until around late october before recruiters suddenly remembered i exist and contacted me out of the blue to apply for 'emergency' positions. August through early october is a recruiters market, after that it swings back a bit. Not enough, but enough to score a job. All of this is of course contingent on ticking the magic three boxes.

ETA: D10 (which i assume you have) rockets up in value cometh the crying and gnashing of teeth from the lightweights who cant even handle 2 weeks in korea before running back to mom.
