Lecturers Wanted at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies’ Global Leadership Academy in Yongin

Lecturers Wanted at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies' Global Leadership Academy in Yongin.
We kindly request that ONLY serious applicants apply, so please read the details of the job carefully.
The Global Leadership Academy was established 10 years ago and caters to Korea's blue-chip companies such as Samsung, KEPCO, KB bank and SK. These companies attend intensive full time residential courses for between 5 and 16 weeks. Our academy offers courses in an extensive number of world languages and is one of the pioneers of teaching skills and subjects in English as opposed to just basic language tuition. We are looking for new instructors who can enhance our program and we highly value experience.

Duties:
You will be expected to plan your own courses. This includes developing a syllabus, choosing a book, creating lesson plans and evaluating the students.
You are also expected to attend regular weekly meetings, and sometimes perform some extra duties related to the GLA program.
The GLA at Hankuk Univeristy of Foreign Studies has been busier than ever. We have introduced Saturday courses in addition to our regular 8:30 – 5:30 intensive English program.
To be perfectly honest, the schedule changes quite a lot and any explanation I might try to offer you here will just confuse you further.
Remuneration:
2,370,000 Korean Won per month (anything exceeding 80 hours per month is considered overtime).
Extra 300,000 Korean Won per month for Master's degree(in Tesol or related field) holder.

One year from August (or September) 1st, 2013 to July (or August) 31st, 2014.
Required Documents:
Resume and cover letter.
Copy of your alien registration card OR passport information page.
2 references from current or previous places of employment.
A basic Lesson plan aimed for an intermediate or upper-intermediate class (this is just to give us an idea of your teaching style and material, so you can submit a lesson plan on anything you like).
Please note: If you are offered the position you will also be required to submit all the documents necessary for your E2 Visa immediately.

Current Teacher's Testimony:
We want to be as honest as possible about the job, so the following is a testimony from one of the teacher's who is currently working and living at our school.
Working Conditions:
It is not an easy job. You do not work with a co-teacher, and you are expected to do everything by yourself, including coming up with the syllabus, choosing course material, and evaluating the students. In this respect, it is also more rewarding, because you have more responsibility and so you become more engaged. On the other hand, the classroom experience is a lot better too, because you are not babysitting or wasting time disciplining the students. Our students always do their homework, and for the most part they are very eager to learn. Lastly, their level is quite high, so you can actually have conversations with them in English.
Living Conditions:
Even though you have your own private room, sometimes living in a dorm does not feel like you have your own personal place. The kitchen is shared between the teachers (we keep it very clean). There are only two laundry machines and one drier for the entire dormitory, but most of the students do not do their laundry at school, so I have never really had a problem with waiting to use them. There is also a gym in the basement of the dormitory. The equipment is quite old and it is not very big, but it is enough to work out in.
Shopping could be a little more convenient. There are two local marts down the road from the dormitory (about a 15 minute walk), where you can buy everything you need, however, the selection is quite limited. Some teachers often take the bus to the Jukjeon or Gwangu e-mart (about 30 minutes away) and every once and a while we go to Costco together and buy in bulk. Also, lately we have been experimenting with e-mart's online shopping and delivery service because it is getting colder and the journey has become a lot less appealing.
Transportation:
Unless you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful weekend, I do not think you will want to spend too much time in Yongin. It is not exactly the most exciting part of Korea. Luckily there are a few buses that come right into the school, and the nearest bus stop is just a 3-minute walk from the dormitory. The buses go to Sohyeon, Gangnam, Sadang, City Hall, Seoul Arts Centre, Gangbyeon (Technomart) and they take about an hour and half depending on traffic. There is also a free school shuttle bus that will take you to the main intersection where you can get lots of city busses that also go to parts of Bundang (Jukjoen, Migum etc), the Yongin Express Bus Terminal, and Gwangju.
General Overview:
I wanted to get in job in Seoul (like almost everyone does), and so I had my reservations about accepting this job. However, unless you are the type who likes to go out and do things during the week, then taking the bus to Seoul is not as bad as it seems. Also, I did not like the sound of living in a dormitory, but once you settle in you realize that it is actually a lot more convenient and you save a lot of money. If you are asked to re-sign for a second year, you get the option of moving into an apartment near campus instead (the school pays a 250,000 Won housing allowance), but most teachers prefer to stay in the dormitory anyways because it is that much more convenient, and cheaper. Lastly, it may seem like a stressful job, but it really isn't. As long as you are organized even a full schedule is not that bad, especially when you consider the overtime pay you will be getting.
