I've three interviews this week; one corperate which I know well about, and at these two places, of which I know very little. There's little information, and what there is, is vague.

Anybody know the lowdown of these places? Pm me.

Thanks!

Are you single?

Go for the womens' university job.

If you are married, you'd better get your wife's input about the womens' university job.

Where did you meet your wife? Was she your student at one time before you married?

I only ask because I know several foreigners in Korea who met their wives that way. And nearly every waygook I've met (uni teachers) has a story or two about uni girls falling for them while working at the uni. You don't even have to try -- it happens to the ugliest of us.

And those are at regular unis, where boys are around. Now, enter a womens' university.

Single male + womens' university = ???

Knowing how jealous some Korean women get, does my comment really seem that stupid, or warrant such a crude response? My gf, and a number of my former Korean co-workers at my previous job, chided/teased me about this very issue before I started work here. Only my girlfriend was serious. She knows that some Korean girls are westerner-crazy/Englishee crazy/etc..

She understands this about Koreans society very, very well.

Is this your school or something? I just don't understand why you flew off the handle like that.

I still think it is a foolish worry. If your gf/wife cannot handle you working there then she has issues. I used to work at a womens university and my wife was very excited when I got that job, no worries there.

I met her on the 마을 버스 and she talked to me first.

My buddy just had an interview at Hanyang Womens University. He seemed pretty skeptical about it. If you have any info post it or PM me so I can pass it on to him. Thanks. Smile

justin:

Is your buddy good-looking with wavy hair? I had the interview today....2.0 and no housing, 20+ hours. Don't think I'll take it.

The other two are good, though. I'll not be working at the intitute advertised here on Dave's. It looks both will offer me the job, and I don't know which one to choose!

SIMPLEMINDS:

Define good looking. Wink

He told me the base salary is 2 million for 12 hours, with 8 hours mandatory overtime (pay amount unknown). No housing.

Anyone else have any info on Hanyang Women University?

Justin: Good-looking=hunk. Laughing

Yep, that's pretty much it. The classes are three 50 minute sessions, and it's likely you'll teach more than 20 hours.

Got an offer from Daejin. Very Happy
