A quick search using any internet search engine will reveal that the number of groups and sites dedicated to bringing native English speakers to Korea is seemingly endless. There are thousands upon thousands of sites that all speak the same language: Make easy money by coming to Korea! Korean apartments are measured in the Korean unit of pyeong (평 “pyawng”). For all measurements, bear in mind that 1 pyeong = 3.3 sq. meters = 35 sq. feet.
This sentiment, while oversimplified, is largely true. The number of benefits received for teaching English to Korean school children is disproportionate to the assumed amount of effort needed. It seems that you could choose any old company and come to Korea and be set to earn money to put towards your student loans (or whatever else you see fit). This idea, though understandably conceived, is not as safe as you may think. Fraudulent offers, dishonest school owners, poor working/living conditions all can be found in Korea, and learning to weed out those dishonest offers from the genuine positions in Korea is the key to a successful and rewarding teaching experience.
In order to go above and beyond their competitors, Woongjin ThinkBig established ThinkOutside as a way to ensure that the programs that it established are receiving the best possible candidates to teach Korea’s children. ThinkOutside, through the efforts of its professional and courteous staff, has proven themselves time and again, building up a formidable reputation for recruiting quality teachers over the past five years. ThinkOutside recruits teachers for ESL positions in public schools, reliable private institutions and companies, while also conducting business overseas. In the past five years, ThinkOutside has been responsible for placing over 3,000 teachers into rewarding and life changing positions throughout Korea, from Seoul to Pusan to Jeju Island.
With such a reputation, ThinkOutside has become the only recruiting company under a group enterprise and offers the most job positions in Korea. It also is one of the only recruiting companies to be government-sponsored AND certified by the Ministry of Education. What does this mean for you?
With the financial backing of the Korean national government and a multi-billion dollar group enterprise, ThinkOutside has the ability to be a teacher centered organization, hosting quarterly events (such as parties, temple stays, skiing trips, etc.) and sponsoring teacher organized communities, for teachers sharing common interests (from soccer clubs to language exchanges). Being government sponsored also allows ThinkOutside to offer positions at the most revered schools and academies, both public and private, throughout Korea. And, the best part about this is that it’s all done at no cost to the teacher. The employers incur the costs, while the teachers enjoy the benefits!
