I have to agree with Sean in response to your post. I have been very pleased with Appletree Recruiting as well as Lanpus. I met my recruiter several times over dinners and lunches, and she was very helpful with everything I needed. There are two or three people that check the email account on a regular basis, so their responses were always very quick which was helpful when things were urgent. A friend had referred me to Appletree, and I have done the same several times to people back home who are interested in Korea. They still check up on me every once in a while, and still answer any questions or concerns I have.

As for Lanpus, I have been very happy working here in the 5 months that I have been in Korea. I remember meeting you the first week, and was under the impression that you were there that day for an informal interview to see if you would be the right candidate for the job. I'm sorry that it didn't work out in your favor, but not every person fits into every company dynamic. Every hagwon is under a lot of pressure to hire the right teachers because it is a very competitive business.

I also stayed in the small hotel with the other girls. And yes, it was a small room and a little uncomfortable, but I am actually very happy to have experienced it because those girls are now my closest friends here. When you spend a week with 2 strangers in a small hotel room you learn a lot about them very quickly and get past the formalities in the first few days. I'm very sorry you did not get to see the good side of Lanpus and hope that you are happy with your situation now.
