So I've been doing a lot of Google-ing this weekend about teaching ESL in Korea. I am actually really interested in doing it now, so I'm trying to find out as much information as possible before i sign any contracts or anything. I posted my resume on Daves ESL Cafe last week and have gotten so many emails and phone calls from recruiters looking for American ESL teachers. It seems like Korea has the highest demand for foreign teachers out of any other country in Asia. Right now, I'm sticking with two recruiters. From all the research I've been doing, Teach ESL Korea and Footprints Recruiting seem to be the most reputable and reliable. I've already spoken to a recruiter at Teach ESL Korea, so now its pretty much up to me and how fast I can get all of the documents needed to them. Once they receive all the documents, I will be placed at a school. The recruiter had told me they have a lot of positions available in the Gyeonggi-do area, which is pretty much the surburbs of Seoul. I was really hoping to teach in Busan, Incheon, or Daejeon. But we'll see.
I also have an interview with Footprints Recruiting next week. From what I've heard, the positions are going really fast!! I really, really hope I get to teach in Korea, that would be AWESOME. Wish me luck, and of course I will keep you updated. Until then....1.
