Jobs of the Week June 16, 2013

Dear all,

I have been working on some consultancy work, and have not had much time to browse the job listings. But from the ones I have seen, here's the good, bad and not worth it selections from China and Korea. Not like anyone's reading this anyways. Any who, marvel.

GOOD


1) University Teaching Jobs - China Vacancies info@chinavacancies.com

Thank you for not providing quirky (read: annoying, offensive) rhetorical questions or a descriptive paragraph that falls short of the mark. Thank you for listing only need-to-know information for me, the prospective employee. Shit pay, shit hours, but whatever...I like companies that give you the info without you having to punch them in the face to get their attention.


2) DFL Recruitment Agency – Korea – dfl.worldteacher@gmail.com

Many jobs to choose from. Postings are straightforward with detailed information. I like DFL Recruitment Agency, but get rid of the Gmail address and set-up a domain name that can host email. It makes you look unprofessional.


3) Daegu Haany University – Korea – english@dhu.ac.kr

I am saddened to read the yearly salary is only about 29,000,000 won, and the job requires you to have a Masters. Low hours and paid vacation make this a go. But you should attempt to negotiate a higher salary. Korea! You and China and Japan make me angry with low paying university gigs that require higher ed qualifications. How dare you!


BAD


4) East-West Education LLC – China – HR@BeijingTeach.com

Teaching kids 25 hours per week? At your own peril. Especially since most kiddie jobs are higher paying than this one. I like the website http://www.beijingteach.com/ because it’s informative. Also, the pictures that display an unpolluted Chinese sky near the Bird’s Nest. And all the teachers are white! Ethnicities not preferred? But that’s racist China for you.

I hate kids. If you’re a pedo or a Mormon or Evangelical Christian, then go for it...perv.


NOT WORTH IT

5) Readingtown – China – judyh@sageshanghai.com

Zero job details. It describes the school and the curriculum, albeit vaguely. Even on the website, it only shows the recruitment process. What the hell is the salary range? If you can’t put together an informative job posting, in what other ways are you disorganized?

Pass, sucka.
