That's how I always remembered the directions. Well, I have a new one.
I just mailed out 2 big packages of documents in order to change my direction in life here. I have applied for 2 university positions. First choice is Hongik University in Seoul (English website), and the other is Busan National University of Education (English website).
I've always wanted to work with adults since, as many of you know, I don't really like kids. The little ones have grown on me, but I need a change. At uni, I will work half the hours I'm working now for around the same pay! Depending on the school I work for, I may have to find my own housing and in most cases university professors pay for their apartment. But, for me, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I'd be working daytime hours and freed up to do other things - like prepare for grad school. Finally.
What did it take to apply? *sigh* Bear with me...
A copy of my university degree
Official transcripts
Copy of my passport and Korean ID card
Resume
Cover letter
Philosophy of teaching statement
2 letters of recommendation
Proof of employment documentation
Completed online application (with 3 essays!)
And a printed copy of said online application.
Whheewwww.
Now, we'll just have to wait and see what they think of all of that.
