I'd never work there.

Who wants to work with ugly chicks?

It doesn't mean anything. It's just something to catch the eye. They're recruiting for public schools.

I have talked with these people. They are just using it as a gimmick. What they want are teachers and people who want to teach. They seemed polite and to be honest I thought it was a cute gimmick.

Silly joke people: wouldn't want to work "there"

"There" is a bunch of public schools where you'd probably be the only "ugly teacher" ---- foreigner that is.

I like this guy. I've talked to him. He's a hard scrabble Australian guy and talks straight. I started a thread on this topic previously. At first the ad reads like a disgruntled hagwon owner. Not everyone, however, quite gets what he's doing, and that's fine. If you're still offended or put off by his ad, you're not the kind of person he wants to place with his clients. Your best weapon in Korea is to laugh at things that might, on first blush, offend.

I, and my friends, have dealt with this guy in the past. As a guideline, I am returning from a runner now, another friend is stuck int he middle of nowhere hating life, and the last is counting the days until his constract ends. PM for more info.

An ugly teacher has it harder here. We have one guy here who is as ugly as the day is long. Parents take one look at him and start gossiping with eachother. I know hogwan owners are aware of this and would probably only hire an ugly person as a last resort. Like if they couldn't find anyone else.

Enormously fat teachers have the same problem. I remember flying from JFK to Incheon and this one dude a few seats ahead of me must have been close to 400lbs. There was a Korean waiting for him at the airport with a card with the guy's name on it. He saw the card and walked toward the Korean. It looked as if the Korean was going to have a heart attack on the spot. I could read his mind from his facial expression, "Holy ***!!,
Next time I'm going to have to politely ask for a full body shot, not just passport photo"

Seems like the typical percentage of people who get it and those who don't.

Ok, I've been talking to the certain someone I blasted earlier. It appears we just had a series of unfortunate events and miscommunications. That said, I am still quite peeved at the guy, I mean...he hired me and my friends...does that make us ugly people? Here, I thought I was ruggedly handsome, like a "jacked up conan o'brian". Oh well.
