... Should I go through the hassle of getting an apartment in my city which I like but there is nothing to do or Seoul where I have so much fun just adventuring around. Also, I was only planning to live one more year in my current city before trying to move to seoul anyways.
I'd look and apply for the jobs first. It seems that you want to live up in Bucheon or Incheon (west of Seoul, but not Seoul if that matters) so scout out jobs and apply. You can always decline a position but I would definitely sort out employment first.
Do you have any advice on the best way to go about finding a job in Seoul? I've heard about going through a recruiter but have never heard any mention of specific ones.
Benn awhile since I used one, but the last two times it was Korvia and they were good for me.
When you did Korvia a second time, did you need to go to orientation?
Personally I would just go back home or try another country. Do not stay here. Why not try Vietnam?
Did she mention the pay and benefits for English teaching in Columbia in 2021? Whats the situation on the ground?
Vietnam is a complete gong show right now with the virus. I have a friend who just arrived in Colombia to start teaching. She says there's lots of need and plenty of work. As an aside, she's an anti-vaxxer and obviously unvaccinated. She has a high school diploma and a CELTA, no university.I'd love to go to Colombia. A few years ago it was voted as one of the 10 best countries for an ex-pat to retire in.
Good skiing there too. Colombian podwer is world renowned
No she hasn't told me about pay or benefits yet. She got there last Thursday and wandered around Bogota for a couple of days. She was asked about teaching and if she was available etc, she wasn't interested because it's too cold so she would not stay in Bogota. She's from deep south California and lived here in SE Asia where a bitterly cold winter day is +20C. Anything less than 30C and she was in a thick sweater LOL. She never used air-con and her classroom was unbearably hot and the students complained all the time. She's heading for the coast now to legitimately start checking for work. I'll hear more in a couple of days. Here her monthly electric bill averaged $2.00. Mine is $60 on average. A colleague here is Vietnamese and in touch with family and friends back there. She says at this time you aren't even allowed to leave your house. Cops deliver food to you. It sounds really messed up. I'd like to get boots on the ground info about Colombia too.
