I just got a NICE rejection letter today. Not that it makes me feel any better. Something along the lines of " We interviewed a few top candidates and you were obviously one of them. I am sorry to say we went with another candidate. I'm sure you'll have no trouble securing a job in Korea. You sound like a great person and good luck...blah, blah, blah... I guess I am not great enough, huh? They probably just found someone already in Korea. They don't need to worry. I'll NEVER apply for their ridiculous school again!!!!!!!!!! This is how I am treated after 4 years of experience?????

4 years experience in Korea is like 4 years experience at McDonalds....great if you are going to stay there but pretty much worthless anywhere else Laughing

If you are looking for a premiere job chances are someone in Korea with similar qualifications will get it over you. Just move on and keep applying for other positions. Eventually you will get one. Don't let the rejection letter get you down. At least they were considerate. Good luck.

Don't lose hope. There are a lot of opportunities out there. I bet the right one will come along soon.

You were lucky to get a letter of rejection; many schools don't acknowlege that.

It was especially nice that they tried to let you down kindly, but you've turned it around like they are jerks.

I'd say they made the right choice.

Rejection stings, but that letter sounded pretty nice. I've applied for a lot of jobs in my day, and it's good to hear anything.

yeah, all the times i got rejected i didnt even get a notice, i had to call them after a while to see if they even got all my documents. most of the time, they dont care about you.

with 4 years of experience, wouldnt you be more pron to coming to korea and looking for work in person? i've only ever found one job over the internet in korea while still at home, and that was the first one. it makes sense that all of the best jobs go quickly to those already in korea. 6 years ago this wasnt the case as much as it is now. but word of mouth and being able to mobilise immediately are the two key things that land the sweetest deals. if you don't want rejection letters, apply at wonderland.
