Not Under Construction

I left this blog under construction for over a month so today I've finally decided to hit the switch and write my first post. \(^o^)/ Back in January, I got an ESL (English Second Language) teaching job in South Korea. In order to get the job I needed to have a university degree and do these following:

• send a curriculum vital with a photo
• pass the phone interview
• pass the English test by writing an essay from a selection of 5 questions
  

I always wondered if anyone managed to get the job by sending a fake photo, or paid anyone to do their essay and phone interview. (?_?) Obviously, I don’t plan on asking the recruitment department so I guess I’ll never know. (-_-)


Once I got the job, I had to choose a city to work in and my choice was either Seoul or Busan. A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from the head of recruitment, informing me that the positions in Seoul and Busan are full. This means that I have to either wait or choose an alternative city. I decided to wait because of these following reasons:

• I’m too lazy to research on an alternative city
• I really want to work in Seoul, which is my first choice (^_^)
• I barely speak any Korean so my Korean friend is teaching me, but my brain is always switched off whenever I meet her (-_-;)
  

Since I have no idea when I’ll go to South Korea, I might as well continue learning Korean and finish off my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course. Hopefully, I’ll feel fully prepared to go to South Korea when the time comes, so good luck to me. (^_^)
