I'm in Canada at the moment and I have a degree, I have over 400 volunteering hours which involve tutoring chidren anywhere from the ages of 7 to 14 in all subjects including english, I have over 300 hours of tutoring with japanese students in economics/english and communications and I have a two year diploma in communications(they probably don't care about this one). Just found this nice job with lots of vacation and I was wondering is this job out of my league? Am I setting my sights too high? Thank you in advance for any advice.

70 days paid vacation? Yeah right. I work at a high school now and get 14 days paid vacation a year. I smell something fishy here. |

I think you are definitely qualified for pretty much any job in Korea teaching english But I agree with ilovebdt, it sounds a little fishy. Apply, but check the place out. |
