Got an email from the recruiter yesterday. I finally was offered an interview for a school in Pocheon. The recruiter seemed reluctant to even offer it, saying she is not sure if I would be ok with working in Pocheon. She also said that GEPIK said if I want a rural area I can be placed right away.
After thinking about it for a day and doing some research on Pocheon I realized I can't live in Pocheon. It caused me a lot of stress to turn down a job after waiting so long, but the place is too small and too rural for me.
She then told me about a high school in Icheon. Not INcheon, where the airport is, Icheon, where.... apparently nothing is. There's a huge difference. Icheon is a city of about 150k people spread out over a large area of land. The high school is near the main downtown area. There's no train, only buses. Its like an hour to eastern Seoul. I'm not thrilled with the location, but I am considering it. I don't know what else to do. I really need a job, but I don't want to make a choice that I will regret for my whole year there. So right now I am waiting on some advice from a friend who teaches in Gyeonggi-do. He is always gone on the weekends, and doesn't reply to emails. Actually he's not that good at replying to emails any other time either. I am hoping he will get back to me before I have to make any decisions.
