BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH CDI (CHUNGDAHM INSTITUTE) OF KOREA. THEY WILL MISLEAD YOU WITH LIES AND FALSE PROMISES.
IN FAIRNESS, I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS THE OVERALL COMPANY'S GOAL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WORKERS AND STAFF. BUT THE DRIVE FOR MONETARY PROFITS AND IRRESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT WILL LEAVE SOME PEOPLE IN THE HOLE, BROKEN, USED AND EXPLOITED.
THE RECRUITING AND TRAINING DPT OF CDI DOES IN FACT MISLEAD AND USE PEOPLE. NOW A DAYS THEY ARE OFFERING A $1500 SIGNING BONUS TO JOIN WITH NO INTENTIONS OF PAYING SUCH MONEY.
I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I AM A FORMER RECRUITER.
THE ESL RECRUITING INDUSTRY IS SO COMPETITIVE, WITH SO MANY OPTIONS FOR ESL INSTRUCTORS THAT THEY RESORT TO SUCH A SCAM. CASE IN POINT, CDI HAS BEEN RUNNING THE AD FOR THE PYONGTAEK BRANCH WITH A $1500 BONUS FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE FOUND A FEW INSTRUCTORS BY NOW? ACTUALLY, AT THE RECRUITING RATE THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH, THEY SHOULD HAVE HIRED AT 30 INTRUCTORS BY NOW, AND I DON'T THINK THE PYONTAEK BRANCH NEEDS 30 NEW INSTRUCTORS.
DON'T GET USED. BE AWARE AND LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES ELSEWHERE.
