I keep getting the same job offer from numerous recruiters. Its the same school address with a different name. They want me right away. Its way up north in Dubong-gu. How can I get a good job with good boss, good coworkers and a decent housing in Seoul? Am I asking too much?
Is it because I don't have any prior experience and I'm 36 ?
How long should it take to find the best school for me ?

just keep looking, dont settle for anything else.And if your 36 why dont you just say you have experience.They arent going to charge the kids you teach any less beacause of it.And they sure as hell ain't going to tell the parents you dont have any experience.So get as much money as you can off of them cause thats exactly what they are going to do with you.

That job may be offering a bonus to the recruiters. Hold out for what you want. Insist that the recruiters meet YOUR requirements. Your age has nothing to do with it, I'm 62....

Let me guess- afterschool teaching jobs where you need to "share" your bank account with the crooked hogwan masters? Rolling Eyes Or chain hogwans that are all over the blacklists? Rolling Eyes Or jobs with "schools" where the recruiter won't tell you the name of the school? Rolling Eyes

Find a better recruiter.
