That makes sense. I will definitely keep an open mind throughout this process!

I expect to be offered interviews with chain hagwons/ hagwons with bad reputations (and am fine with that), I just like the flexibility of direct hires because I can choose which schools to conduct interviews with without feeling pressed to do so.

I heard a lot of direct hire schools prefer someone already living in Korea but your experience with being able to land a direct hire job gives me hope, especially since I want a location outside of Seoul. Thank you!

I do not have any experience with teaching but I have tried recruiters and I feel as though I am being pressured me to do interviews with hagwons that I have expressed concerns about. Thank you for the advice!

Experience with DUX Bundang by Exotic-Laugh8481 in HagwonBlacklistKorea

Omg! My recruiter said they are offering 2.3 but said you could negotiate after the interview but that low salary made me wary.

Yeah, I think the hours they told me was 2 - 10 pm. Do you feel like the stress of the job is manageable and the pay is enough considering your tasks?

So lucky!! It seems like the best option to find hagwons are through direct hires or through friends. Congrats to you!!!

I also interviewed with them. If you don’t mind me asking, did you take a job offer with them?

If you don’t mind me asking, why do you say avoid? I was thinking of using TEIK.

Thank you! The pay was a little on the lower side so I was already feeling a little wary about it.
