Hello.
I was just curious on how everybody got to where they are now.
I applied directly to the school's website. It looked pretty professional.
Thanks in advance!  |

I sent a ton of emails to every email address i could find, with cover letter, cv, and photo attached. I was called by a bunch of recruiters, and sometimes schools.
Eventually selected the position on the basis of the phone conversations I had with the director.
Think I made the right choice for me.

I went on daveseslcafe.com back in 2000, clicked on two adverts....heard back from both, got contracts from both, one in Seo-daemun Seoul, the other a 6 day a week sleep over night school in Suwon. Guess what one I took?
Kind of silly in retrospect...only 2 contacts but it worked out really really well. |

I went through a recruiter too. In fact, I used about 4 recruiters, and ended up taking a job from the one that pressured me the least. He sent me a bunch of jobs and I asked a million questions. I talked with the recruiter and the school several times....
Im about to sign on for my 3rd year now. |
