Phone interview!

So I got an email back this afternoon about scheduling a phone interview! It would be the first of two - the second would be with the actual school. Hopefully, the interview will happen by the end of the week. I'll keep you posted! :)

Headshot

I've spent about a month researching different ESL teacher-placement companies, and the one I decided to go with is ASK Now, which stands for "Access South Korea Now". They're a Canada-based agency, started by three guys who, between them, have 10 years of experience teaching in Korea. If you're thinking about going over to teach, you should check them out.

But. When they say their application will only take "ten minutes" to fill out - DON'T LISTEN. Block out a couple of hours. At least, that's how long it took me. From start to finish, about two hours. But I really wanted to make sure I did it to the best of my ability - I'm serious about this! And I want them to know it.

At this point, I've filled out the pre-application (to get on file) and the actual application (to apply for a job), and have taken a headshot. Yes, a headshot. Schools usually ask for a picture of the applicant, because they won't get to meet them in person until they get off the plane at the other end. Interesting. Here's mine:

What do you think? Would you hire me? :)
