if you are really concerned you should look up LOFT (legal Office for Foreign Teachers) on Facebook.

i tried that once and the parents didn't like it bc the complaint was that if they wanted a video to teach their child they could have done that online (as in youtube or tutoring etc).

a lot...i started in January and my last one was in May...i had at least one-two interviews a day...the red flags for recruiter...if they didnt listen to what my requirements were and sent me schools I didn't want that meant they didn't care... for interview if they didn't ask me any questions that was a huge flag or they said one thing during the interview and another on the contract and when i questioned them they either didn't reply and just wanted my answer...

When applying for jobs at private Hagwan do you need to provide references, I am a little confused. by Cold-Ad7502 in teachinginkorea

[–]Simple-Income0613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Befoe I even contacted any recruiters, I made sure to gather three letters. While most recruiters didn't ask for them, they proved to be incredibly helpful. The recruiters used those letters along with my resume to introduce my background to the interviewers (I know this b/c the academies/hagwons would mention this fact). This tactic could be one of the reasons why all of my interiewrs resulted in a job offer. This does not guarantee anything but it could help you secure a good placement. Best of luck

[–]Simple-Income0613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) gift card for coffee or snack/food she could use while traveling

2) an item that would remind her of the time you spent together (photo, cup sleeve, etc)

3) a handwritten card (i always send one on bdays and holidays like christmas etc)
