So I originally posted on my story about applying to EPIK, but in the end I decided it wasn’t the right fit for me housing wise 😬 so I started to look into other options !

I decided to contact a load of recruiters whilst I waited for my application result to come back (I still haven’t heard anything) and since I showed interest quite early, I didn’t actually expect much - BUT! I ended up weeding through some offers and eventually agreed to interview with one that I’d liked the sound of.

I did some v important deep diving the night before my interview, and I found nothing but positive comments! - especially from the parents who send their children to the school - and it really gave me such good vibes!! (I also found their Instagram and it was v cute 🤭 lmaoo)

Fast forward to the interview, and it was so nice !! The people I spoke to felt warm, and I could tell that our teaching philosophies matched well. On top of that, the work life and curriculum style seemed really good (I’m excited to do a cooking class lmaoo) and I was also able to speak to an English teacher that’s currently working there, and it was really helpful to hear her experiences and insight into things !

After the interview, I exchanged a few texts with the school director, which made everything feel even more friendly ☺️ and not long later, I got a message from my recruiter letting me know that I’d been offered the job!

When the contract had been sent over, my boyfriend and I both read through it (since it was written in English and Korean) and after a couple amendments were made, I decided to sign !!

My start date is September 1st, but I’m looking to head over there in mid-August so I can settle in ! The school also provides me with 5 days of paid training - which is RARE - so it’ll feel good going into the job feeling prepared !
