Is ESL still in demand in Korea? And is it easy to get a job there? Is the interview process difficult? I’ve heard that they just want to hear your accent but I’ve also heard that there might be more to the interview than just that.

ESL is definitely still in demand. It is getting harder and harder for the schools hear to find native English teachers and there are thousands of jobs available, with great benefits.
I have been teaching English in Korea for close to two years now and there is a lot of demand to keep me here longer. The interview process is mostly just to hear your accent and make sure that your voice sounds like that of a native speaker.
The amount of jobs over here is incredible. You will be amazed at the options you have. The one thing to keep in mind is that the government is trying to shift away from hagwons (private academies). So if you have the chance you definitely want to look into a job with a public school. You will have more job security and a heck of a lot more vacation.
The only extras for your interview will include a criminal check you need to get at a local police station and then proof of your academic degree via a transcript.
Don’t believe some of the stuff you read online. It is still really easy to get a job over here and the pay and benefits will make it well worth your time, especially if you love experiencing new cultures.

Reasons why Koreans Suck
1. Horrible Nervous, Clueless, and Scary Drivers
They cause accidents like no other, and the Police Agencies know this
and therefore ticket them more frequently.
I use my horn if I get any indications there might be a korean driver,
in a mercedes, or a fuckin hyundai!
Or that nice luxury model of hyundai! Also fuck, samsung and LG!
2. Anti-Australian Attitudes
Koreans seem to flock to Australia to benefit off the Australia economy,
but fail to integrate themselves into Australian culture and participate in Australia culture. Koreans quickly will leave their country to take advantage of the AUS,
but never really contribute anything to the AUS,
and live here and hate this fucking place.(Australia)
and just take advantage of deals and then bounce out?
3. Koreans congregate in a trash area of Sydney
Fortunately this is a horrible slummish congested and Lebanon people infested part of Sydney,
very urban, ghetto, and sure to give you a headache to try to pass thru!
Tons of signs with Korean writing with no english equivalent, unlike chinese and japanese places!!!
4. Koreans like to drive old Mercedes and think they are supreme!
You will always see Koreans driving old Mercedes 190e
and Junk Mercedes thinking they are in the top class.
Give me a break, but they still cause accidents in those too!
5.Korea company is world best company?
They think Samsung,Hyundai,LG is best company in the world.
But world best company is Toyota,Sony,Honda,canon,nintendo,panasonic and LEXUS!
FUCKING KOREAN! STOP TO EAT DOG MEAT!
