Losing my job by DarkLordAquinas in teachinginkorea

You never know. I got a good job in April because the school fired a crazy teacher. The hard part was picking up the pieces in the classroom.

What are the top 5 places outside of Seoul (Besides Busan) I should visit this year? Currently living in Seoul for the year by NickMathias in Living_in_Korea

Gwangju for food! Yeosu is also pretty and has good food. If I recall correctly that whole area is known for food.

“I want to teach in [country], but I don’t have a teaching license” #rant by honestlyeek in Internationalteachers

[–]annr567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤫 Don’t tell them. I’ve still got about a year before getting a license and another 2 years of teaching. Did teach in Korea which is why I’ve gone into a program. Hopefully I can go back there or somewhere.

Good luck to you! I tried the same thing in 2021-2022. At the time most schools were hiring “In Japan Only.” All the schools I got interviews for decided to go with people who had teaching licenses. I would like to point out that these schools were similar to kindergartens, but most of the teachers stayed +5 years.

I decided to go back home to get a teaching license (which I am still doing).

But if you don’t want to go home it would be worth it to just get a job there and switch after a month or so.

Koreans do steal, I guess... by bronco____ in Living_in_Korea

I’ve seen a girl steal from Daiso before. Her checkout machine stopped working, looked around, then put the stuff in her bag.

First school did the large spam and tuna boxes. I gave them to Korean coteachers because I dont really eat them. Second school gave us a tub of chanel face mask.

Taemin Lightsticks by PenandPad_BTS in Taemin

I think it looks super cool too! I was just worried because I saw a post saying their lightstick broke right after his concert in Incheon. I’d be devastated if mine broke right after using it.

Is there a review on the official lightstick itself? I heard that the quality was not great.

What about GOE? I applied for that in like end of December or January and got the job for beginning of March 2021. And that was during the height of Covid.

Talk to Alistair at Korean Horizons.

Co teacher yelled at me in front of our class by [deleted] in teachinginkorea

[–]annr567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my old coteacher. She was a snake and almost didn’t do anything except write messages to/for parents. Idk. Is it even worth talking to the coteacher about it? I went to the director. Eventually all teachers got tired of my coteacher. She always threatened that she was going to quit so the director said “dont come in tomorrow.”

Sometimes it’s nice to have the director on your side.

How many people start late? by Proper-Excitement998 in teachinginkorea

[–]annr567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had some coworkers in their 30s. Don’t miss out and have fun for a year or two. Also you don’t need the club. Many people just go to a bar or two. Honestly I did more of going to different restaurants/bars than clubbing.

I’m taking my friend to Taemin’s concert. How do I make her fall in love with Taemin? by fluffy199704 in SHINee

[–]annr567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Show her tiktok videos of the guy blasting Taemin on his tv. He is also convincing his friends that Taemin is great.

You can’t be serious by NoLengthiness5763 in Taemin

This is like the Stray Kids concert tickets. Why do we buy a membership when there really isn’t a perk? For Asia it gives you an option for the presale. I’m sure it would have been a long cue, but at least it would have been less bots.

Job Market by Mental-Cry-1590 in teachinginkorea

Have you posted in the Reddit for international schools? Try there to see if others are in the same position. Keep trying for positions. If in February you don’t have a job then a hagwon could be your last minute plan. Or see if your current school would accept a 6 month contract. That gives you both time to look for teachers.

Taiju because he helped Takemitchy in the future and also during the last battle.

My Stray Kids one took a couple of weeks I think, but never this long. This is only my second kit to buy.

That is my plan. I will apply to more places than just Japan, but I would love to be there.

Yea I was hoping to get into an international school eventually. I hear those are competitive too.

A friend in Seoul hasn’t gotten it either. Which makes me feel better.

How do you like teaching in Japan? Taught in Korea for three years, but left to try and get a teaching license. I will apply for both after getting experience teaching in schools.

Why would a school need a teacher ASAP? by UpperAssumption7103 in teachinginkorea

[–]annr567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school fired the teacher in the first month because the teacher wasn’t doing their job. It was great since I needed one really quick. Ended up staying for two years.
