I'm out looking for a job once again.

Today, I'm going through all the job sites, and came up with a few new ones for me.

Some schools are now requesting a Criminal Record Check. I don't have any criminal past, and in many ways it's a good thing that schools are now checking on teacher's backgrounds, but from an applicants view on top of transcripts and possible medical forms, adding a CRC makes it too much to handle.

I enquired about the involvement of getting a CRC at the local police station, and they say it involves providing proof of abode at all my addresses over the last 5 years with proof of registration at overseas immigration offices... Phew... As I've lived at over 20 different addresses during that 5 year period with all sorts like yeogwans, goshiwons and pc bangs part of my accommodation history, how am I ever going to provide proof of abode for all those? Quite simply, I can't apply for any such job being in the hurry that I am.

I also noticed a statement on Workn'Play which contained a description of Seoul Ministry of Education Public School jobs. I didn't like this clause:

QUOTE:
If NSET should desire to resign and thereby terminate the contract, he/she must give SMOE a one-month prior written notice of resignation and will not be able to have or seek employment in other institutes. (Letter of release will not be provided.)
