Just because a language school is not listed here does not
mean it should not be. Korea is a tough place to live, for
both Koreans and foreigners alike.
I would advise if you are interested in working in Korea to call the
school and speak to a foreigner who is currently working there. Tell him or
her that you have heard of people who have had bad experiences in Korea and
you want to know the "inside" story about what is happening at your
institute. I would make this call whether you are considering working for a
language school (hokwon), business, or university.
I would be extremely cautious of recruiters, especially ones who do not
allow you to contact the school in advance. Many recruiters have a
reputation of making promises they can't or won't keep. Living in Korea
could be the best time of your life, or it could be the worst.
If you are now in Korea and know of a school that
should be black listed please contact me! If you have time
and you are now in Korea, I recommend you visit the Consulate
or Embassy and get their blacklist and E-mail or S-mail it to
me--so we can post it.
