Hi,

I can see how it would work best for the employer, if they put you in the most siutable school, after they have interviewed you.

I expect this is the norm, and the applicants can THEN speak to school staff/native teachers already at the school. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Ken

Uhh, need more information. Are you talking about public schools? EPIK? Hakwon franchise?

If it's EPIK, I dont know what their placement system is, but you generally don't get a choice where it is.

Don't trust a recruiter to place you in a 'good' school. If you're applying to EPIK, GEPIK, or SMOE yes, it's the norm to place teachers wherever they choose.

EPIK, GEPIK, and SMOE are all government organisations that place teachers in public schools. It's a bit of a crap shoot and there's a good chance you get stuck in either an overcrowded urban school with huge class sizes or have to work at multiple rural schools on different days being not so much a teacher as a guest speaker.
