I just checked the stats for this blog and found out people are still reading it! Even though I haven't written in months. So- I'm going to try again.
I'm trying to find a new job. I want to work at a university in an urban setting. The city I live in now is the same size as Ann Arbor- but with 0% of the diversity and cosmopolitan flavor. My top choice is Seoul/Daegu. Seoul is the mecca of Korea but the jobs pay the same as they do in the rest of the country and I know I would spend waaaaaay more. Plus, everyone wants to live in Seoul- the competition is way higher.
I like Daegu a lot, it's an actual city, I have lots of friends there, and I know where I to buy cilantro. Plus, the universities I applied to would be the kinds of places that would help me develop as a teacher and be forward moving positions for my career. As opposed to 'just a job'. I had an interview for a Deagu uni on Tuesday, that I thought I bombed (seriously- I opened my mouth and gibberish emerged) but my current boss told me they called him for a reference! Maybe I said something intelligible. And, I have another interview tomorrow with a different uni in Daegu. Both places seem like they would be pretty alright to work for, have places for advancement, and good reputations.
Wish me luck!
