The Wheels on the Bus...

Yesterday I received word from the recruiter that they are still working on getting a good summer EFL camp job lined up. So looks like P'ohang isn't going to happen. I'm fine with that. I don't much care where I end up as long as there's a bus and train station so I can get to Ulsan and Seoul.

I'm guessing the problem has been the fact that I need airfare taken care of. From what I've seen on Dave's ESL boards, summer camps don't always pay airfare. Some of them will pay airfare in exchange for a reduced salary. I offered up a set reduction in salary as a means of helping the process along. Most summer camps are paying in the vicinity of 2.5 and 2.8 million Won, and I'd accept 2.0 or 2.1 (which is what a normal monthly salary looks like in a year-long contract).

So the good news is that they haven't forgotten me, and they are still working on me behalf, which is a relief. I am a little concerned that they won't find a good fit for me and I'll be left with nothing. But as with any film project, there are variables and stumbling blocks, so I will choose not to let my worries get the best of me. I am proceeding as if I knew for sure that I have a job to go to.
