Well now that our FBI background checks have been received (and subsequently shipped out again) we can finally do the very important step of uploading our resumes to an ESL site. We personally chose http://www.eslcafe.com/ otherwise known as Dave's ESL Cafe. It took about two days for our resume to be posted, but after it was we were bombarded by letters of interest. We also received a few phone calls so please if you are going to post your resume specify that you want to be contacted by email.
We of course had to wade through the scams such as "pay us $40 dollars and we will give you tons of schools to teach at!" That of course means pay us $40 dollars and we will never contact you again (if we don't steal more). It is always good to be aware of the schemes people will try to pull to leech some money out of someone who really wants to teach overseas. The best advice is to always comb through blacklisting sites and try to see if any opportunities you are presented match up with the horror stories on the blacklist sites.
Currently it seems like the best opportunities we've been offered have been in the Yongin City in the Gyonggido providence. It is about an 45 minutes from Seoul, and about an hour and a half from our friends who are teaching in Goyang. We will keep this blog updated on our steady progress towards teaching in Korea.
