Title says it all, December 1 is the goal. When do I really need to make the push to start sending out resumes? I also plan to do my homework and not sign the first contract I see so I probably need a little time. Thanks for any help you can give me.

If you want to give yourself time to find the right contract I'd start looking by the beginning of October. However, Koreans tend to do things a little last minute, so some jobs might not be advertised till late October/early November.

Also, apparently employers find it difficult to find teachers in December because most people want to wait until after Christmas. This might give you the upper hand in any negotiations.

Good Luck!

Well knowing Koreans, apply on November 25. They'll hire you the day before.
