|
|
Urgent: A) Last guy did a runner. You will too. B) Why plan when everything can be defined as urgent?
Part time: 8 hours a day. That's part time to a Korean. Right?
Jobs throughout Korea: Public schools in the sticks.
Hot jobs: The recruiter will tell you anything.
Reputable Schools: We pay you on time. But don't push your luck for anything more.
Free airfare: When the bare minimum is ballyhooed in the job headline, you need to worry.
No kindy: Kids in grade 1 aren't kindy, right?
Native English speakers needed: No Koreans, no fat chicks or round boys.
Teach children at a university: All the joys of hagwon teaching without the free non-shared apartment. Dorm life!
Writers needed. This is NOT a teaching position: If from one of the big chain schools, you will teach for three months as part of your orientation. After that you get to fill in for sick and vacationing teachers. And don't forget you got those textbook deadlines too! |
