Job Offer!

I received the email of an offer of employment at the school in Tongyeong this morning! I'm super excited; I think it's going to be a great fit for me!  I spoke with Director via Skype on Friday and I'm pretty impressed with her and the school, and I also really liked her!  She started the school 7 years ago and has run it by herself and with one other Korean Teacher.  Last year, she had a Russian Teacher who was already in Korea, but wishes to have a native English speaker now, which only makes sense! She has about 100 students and claims that the school is "famous" in the area.  I think I'm going to be pretty happy here for the next year.

I'll attach a few photos and you'll see why. 
Some of the details of the contract are:

• Working hours 12-8pm, Mon- Fri for the first three months (training, probation period), then 1-8pm Mon-Fri thereafter.  So I have a 35-40 hour work week, teaching 6 classes per day.
• Salary is 2,100,000 Korean Won per month
• One month's salary as severance pay at the end of my contract term of one year
• Round trip airfare
  
• Fully furnished apartment with a washer/dryer paid for ( I pay utilities, phone, and wi-fi)
• 8 days of paid vacation, in addition to the 12-14 Korean National Holidays (Red Days)
• 50% National Health Insurance System paid for
• 50% National pension paid for ( I receive the entire amount back at the end of the contract term)

Not bad right?  The only thing I wish that was different is the working hours; I'd prefer to work 9-5, but 1-8 isn't too bad.  The hours are actually less than most other hakwon  (private school) teachers work, and some schools have class until 9 or 10pm.

At some point in the future, I'll post my contract so you can view a typical hakwon Employment Contract. 
That's all for now... hoping to get some videos up soon!
