Anyone used OK Recruiting?
LPchica086:
Thanks for all the comments.
I think the school I got should be fine. I talked with past teachers and it seems decent, the location is nice, and the apartment is across the street from the school. Good stuff.
An update on RBI Korea--They're still good. It seems the response time is a bit slower (or maybe I'm just more anxious because my departure date is approaching and the fact that they're based in Korea...15 hours ahead of me), but they're still good about answering questions. Don is who I've been in contact with for the most part.
@mintwaxedfloss--I honestly wished my recruiter would have sent more at a time like that. Ah well, I think it should all still work out, and I just have to chalk it up to a learning experience.
Thanks again.

i used Jay, or should i say that Jay used me...
anyway, he gave me the details fo for an after school position but signed me up with a hagwon.
after arriving at the hagwon i was informed my hours and vacation details would not be as promised..
i told him i was quitting, and he paid me 800,000w to keep my mouth closed about the "mishap."
after receiving the money i confronted my hagwon boss and negotiated something that kept us both happy.
i will not be using them again...

JobinKorea was excellent! I was quite happy with them.
they were helpful and professional.
I suggest giving them a try!

I applied to OK Recruiting and got a one-line response within 24 hours telling me to apply for public schools.
No doubt in my mind because I'm Asian-American. Still trying to contact Jay to see if he'll even pass along my name/resume to ANY hagwons. Probably not.

I'm Asian-American too, although only half Asian. Jay with OKR did inquire after my nationality but didn't seem to be too put off by it. I admit I did send him the 'whitest' (lol) pictures of me I have. Most noticeably Asian about me is my eyes so I kinda just picked pictures that downplayed that. Anyway, he said he's sending me jobs shortly and seemed to like me otherwise. I'm supposed to have an interview through Planet People for a job that sounds pretty good so we'll see what ends up happening.
