Remember when you were young, Korea TEFL salary 2.1
Saw a uni ad today. Must have a PhD or MA +2 years full time uni teaching experience or BA + 4 years uni experience in order to be considered. (Short of a PhD, how can one get the uni experience all unis are asking for for? Its a catch 22.)...
I can actually answer that.The MA + 2 years is not a requirement, it's a preference.Universities receive government funding depending on the education and experience of their professors. If a professor has an MA and 2+ years, the university receives more money.The basic requirement to work as an E1 is to have a 4 year degree, and it's possible to get a job with only that (I know several waygs fresh off the boat with only a bachelor's who recently got snapped up by a uni). Generally speaking, it's only possible nowadays in really remote areas, or if it's a unigwon, or if the university is scrambling to fill unexpected professor vacancies.Also, this comment is wayyyyy off topic.
Was singing along to this: ___________________ ___________If an ad says must have _______ to get the job (to get the 2.1) they almost certainly mean it. Apply anyway and youll get binned (and annoy the person looking at resumes). Way more applicants than job opening for Korean uni jobs. One hundred to one. So why would they hire someone that gets them less government money when there are plenty of qualified applicants to choose from, including out in the sticks. Some unis went under. Others reduced their English department staff. Hence the high number of qualified job seekers competing to get in.
