Feeling Good or Why I Like South Africans

March 8, 2010 admin Comments off
Yesterday was a very nice day because of what we received in the mail.  In this age of email, Facebook, and other digital media, there are rarely times when real mail comes.

Well, yesterday, we received a real delivery from Jody and Janice, two South African teachers that we placed in the Pyeongtaek area last year who are coming to the end of their contract.  Jody and Janice had a fairly long road to Korea as many people do.  But, with their dedication to the process and our team working together with them, they finally made it.

We have met them at several of our events and they are the nicest couple you could ever hope to meet.  We've also stayed in touch via email throughout their year.  They have been very thankful for our help in getting them here and both emphasize how much they have learned and enjoyed over the past 12 months.  That in itself is exactly why I enjoy doing what we do.  It is great being able to help people create a unique experience in their lives.

Jody and Janice went the extra step and sent a really nice letter along with some South African souvenirs that I have included pics of below.  Talk about making us all feel great!  I just wanted to with them all the best and hopefully we'll see them back here.  Also, the South African friends we've made throughout the years here have proven to be some of the friendliest and most appreciative people we've met. If you are representatives of your country, then I should like to visit sometime soon.  Good luck with South Africa 2010 and continue enjoying things wherever life takes you!

Grace shares an EPIK update

March 4, 2010 admin Comments off
Hi Jason,

I am in Daegu and have almost completed a full week here.  Orientation
was great — I was really impressed with the quality of the training
program.  EPIK put so much effort to making the 9-days fun and
educational, particularly for those who, like me, come into this with
no teaching experience.  Thank you for recommending the program.

It was good to finally meet you at the airport.  I'm sorry our meeting
was brief but it was a hectic moment.

I'm sure I will reach out to again over the coming months but I just
wanted to be sure to say thank you for helping me get to this point.
I have enjoyed working with you and your staff.  Everything thus far
has been great and I anticipate the year will continue to be that way.

Thank you.
Best,
Grace J.

Hello Jason,

Korea is fantastic! And learning Korean is difficult but anytime I hear a word I know it's exciting. I've had plenty of opportunities to do touristy stuff and I'm sending a couple of photos - I hope they can be of some use.

Thanks,
Amy

Christine reporting from Masan

March 1, 2010 admin Comments off
Hey Jason and the ASK Now Team,

I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work taken on the part
of your staff to get me to Korea.  You were all extremely helpful, and
any time I had a question or concern, you would make sure to get back
to me as quickly as possible.  Your team is dedicated, informative,
and efficient, and I am so happy that I went through your agency to
find a placement in Korea.

Things here are going really well.  I am enjoying the city, meeting
tons of new people every day, and going away every weekend to explore
more of this beautiful country.  The job is great too.  My working
hours are ideal - I work no more than 20 - 25 hours a week - and I
never have to wake up early!  Everyone at my school is really
friendly, and the other teachers have all made a huge effort to ensure
that I'm comfortable here and adjusting well.  I really can't complain
about anything so far!

Well, thanks again for all your help.  I would recommend your agency
to anyone that asks, and I hope that all future recruits have as great
of an experience here as I have had.

Christine

Paul reporting from EPIK orientation

February 25, 2010 admin Comments off
Hi Jason,

I would like to extend my warmest thanks to you and everyone at ASK NOW who has made my move to South Korea possible. From helping me obtain all my documents and a teaching position, to arranging my flight and finally being at the airport when I arrived. You all went truly beyond the call of duty. I've found that those of use here at the orientation period who have worked through your company, because of your preparation and professionalism, have nothing really to worry about other then attending the lectures and trying to get mentally prepared to teach this coming week. So thank you again and I will keep in touch as to how the rest of my stay in Korea goes.

Sincerely,

Paul H.

Report from EPIK Maria

February 25, 2010 admin Comments off
Hi Jason,
My flight to Korea was pretty good. I'm at the EPIK Orientation at Eulji University in Seongnam. So far, I'm enjoying my time and getting a lot of useful information from the lectures. This past Saturday we visited a traditional Korean village and painted some pottery in Icheon. Thanks again for your help throughout the process. I'm really looking forward to teaching in Korea!
