Recruiters

Choosing a recruiter(s) is something you'll need to be careful about. Some people who contact you may not be real recruiters.

Things to keep in mind:
Recruiters are paid by the school to find YOU. If they ask you for money, find someone else.
You can always search them online to find other people who worked with them and what they said about them.
You don't have to choose one! They have different opportunities, if you tie yourself to one recruiter you may miss the job you want.

They normally send you something like this:

If you would like to learn more, please send us your resume, a recent picture and the following information:
Nationality:
DOB:
Available Start Date/End Date of Current Contract:
Current Location and Contact Number:
Level of Students:

Desired Location:
Visa status or status of necessary visa documents:
Time available for interview (Korean standard time):

The picture should be professional looking. Often Asian resumes have a small 2x2 photo on upper right/left hand corner in line with your basic information. You don't have to do this, but it can be easier sometimes than sending so many pieces.

They may ask you for some more informal photos later. Since the school can't meet you in person, these are usually so they can try and get a feel of your personality.

Also, it is good to create a short cover letter with an introduction of yourself and your motivation, even if they don't ask for it. This helps the recruiter and the school learn more about you.
