Resumes
Hi,
My name is Andrew, and I come from the UK. I have been living and working teaching English in South Korea for twelve years, and I am now available for a new position as this year's final semester has ended. I am looking for the following in South Korea only:
* would prefer adults
* would prefer to remain in Gyeongnam (but this may be flexible for the right job)
* would prefer to find my own apartment and be imbursed for it each month by the employer (employer pays returnable deposit)
* comprehensive work record listed below
I have a transferable E-2 visa, and the expiry date on my ARC is 2016.04.01. I am very reliable and in good health (almost no time off work for sickness in over ten years), with a clean criminal record. I am essentially available immediately.
Please note that I am a mature applicant.
I can be contacted at school@myeasternhorizons.com in the first instance. You can also call me on 010-8284-7524, but please message me first to let me know you are calling.
Sincerely,
Andrew
