| Working and living in Korea has been one of the biggest decisions I have ever made in my life. I had this preconceived notion the transition process would be painful and confusing. It really didn't feel that way. My recruiter at WorknPlay, Miya Kim, was incredibly patient and knowledgeable about all the things I needed to do. |

She had answered all my questions for me and because of her diligence and dedication for my goals, I was able to provide her with everything I needed in a timely fashion. Miya took much care into making me feel like I was making the right decision and she was going to do everything in her power to make living/working in Korea possible. I honestly felt like we were working as a team and sure enough, I was given a job offer at a public school in Gyeonggi-do. I will never forget how happy and excited she was for me. This is truly a great beginning to a new chapter and I'm really thankful Miya had made this happen. Thank you Miya. You are jjang! |

First and foremost I must thank Work n Play awesome recruiter and my new best friend Miya. She has made the process of coming to Korea such a memorable experience. I've applied late into the program but she was very determined to get me a job. She helped me from step one and is still helping me after my arrival |
|
| in Korea. She is definitely one of the most patience and helpful people I have worked with in a long time. It's been about three months since I've been in Korea and teaching at a public middle school. Teaching in Korea is quite different from teaching back home in the states. However the school I was assigned to is great, the students are fantastic and the teachers have been more than welcoming. I've never felt so perfectly matched up for a job than I do now. Overall my experience thus far in Korea has been a great and memorable. I highly recommend anybody who is looking for a teaching job in Korea to use Work n Play Consulting because in my opinion they are nothing but perfect if that. |

| I love my job teaching English here in Korea. Work n Play was very easy to work with and quickly found a job that suited me perfectly. I work at a public elementary school in Gyeonngi-Do and I couldn't be happier with my job. My recruiter was available to help me with any questions I had throughout the Visa application |

I would like to thank Miya Kim from WorknPlay Consulting for assisting me throughout the entire hiring process. She was prompt in answering my questions and concerns via e-mail. In addition, her impeccable work-ethic shows that she is passionate and dedicated to her job. Although I applied late, she was able to |
|
| expedite the process and secure me with a teaching position at a public school in Seoul. Not only did I get hired at a public school, but I also got placed at one of my location preferences! Without her help, I would probably not be teaching here at all! |

| After completing a year of teaching middle school in an area outside of Seoul I wanted to make a change and try life in the city. I applied for a job through WorknPlay Consulting and Miya Kim was my consultant. From the minute I emailed my request to work in Seoul it was smooth sailing. Miya was so efficient. I got immediate |
|
 |
|
|
tresponses to all my questions. She helped me every step of the way and also showed an interest in me, which I thought was great! Even after I was employed I received emails from WorknPlay about excursions for teachers and many opportunities to get to know other teachers recruited by them. WorknPlay is definitely one of the better agencies out there so definitely try them! You will not be disappointed. I would like to give my thanks to Miya! ^^ |

After working in Korea for 10 months at an English Institute, I decided to make a change. I started my research and came across an ad placed in the Korean Herald by WorknPlay to teach English in a Seoul public school. I inquired and within a few hours I got a reply from Miya Kim, giving me details about the job. I spoke to her |
|
| that very day and thankfully her English was great so we could communicate with no problem. She told me what documents I would need and she gave me her contact info stating that I could even contact her on the weekend. I found that a very positive sign as most people don't like to be bothered on the weekend especially if it has to do with work. Miya was very kind and helped in every way possible. If you are looking for a job in Korea I suggest you contact worknplay employment agency first and ask for any of the qualified staff, but particularly Miya Kim, you won't be disappointed. |

| I would like to thank Miya Kim for all the help she has given me for the last 6 months and now. She put a lot of effort to help me out with the job applications and showed the willingness to give me any kinds of help she can. Even though I asked a lot of questions in regards to the job and everything, she was always happy |
|
 |
|
| to assist me and give me all the information she can to satisfy me. Miya's communication skills were great especially with emails and she even rang me to make sure I have understood the process. she was very precise and provided all the information she could give to me. The decision of coming to Korea made it even more clear after the support she has given me and I really enjoy working in Korea. I truly recommend Miya from WorknPlay Consulting for anyone who is interested in working in Korea. Thank you so much Miya. |

First and foremost I would like to say that I recommend WorkNPlay Consulting to anyone looking to work in South Korea. My primary contact, Libby Kim, was all the things you could wish for in a contact. She was kind, incredibly helpful and always looking out for me! And though I don't know if you could ask for much |
|
| more than that she was also incredibly prompt with answers to questions and dedicated to finding me a great position (which she did!). I've heard from other people about bad experiences with other agencies, so I sincerely recommend not going anywhere else and working with WorkNPlay! |

| This is my second year in Korea, and I am aware of all the pitfalls that await would-be teachers. As such, I am able to fully appreciate the service I received from my recruiting agent, Ms. Mina Jung. I was recommended Ms. Jung by a friend, and I am so happy that I followed my friend's advice. Ms. Jung has always been extremely helpful, professional yet friendly at the same time. I felt that she |
|
 |
|
| was trying her hardest to secure me the perfect position, and, moreover, that she cared about my future in Korea. I felt that I could trust her 100%, that she was seeking to ensure that I found the job that best suited me. I never felt pressured to accept a teaching position that I had any doubts about, and with Ms. Jung's invaluable assistance I am now working for the school that was my first choice all along. During the application process I had many questions and queries, but Ms. Jung was always extremely prompt to reply with detailed answers. Since arriving in Korea, Ms. Jung has kept in touch to ensure that everything is going well for me. This first class treatment I've been lucky to experience has already led me to recommend Ms. Jung to other friends who are looking for a position in Korea, and I will not hesitate to recommend her in the future to one and all as the perfect recruiting agent. |

I would like to thank Mina for all of her effort and hard work in finding me such an awesome job here in Korea. If it were not for you there is no way that I would have ended up at such a great school. Youwere the only recruiter I talked to that gave me straight forward answers that were |
|
 |
|
| correct. At times it seemed that I would never make way over to Korea from South East Asia, but thanks to all of your work you made it possible. Thanks so much. |

WorknPlay Consulting have impressed me from the get go. I received a phone interview no more than 20minutes from applying with their website. I was quickly informed of all the documents I would need to prepare and every question (I had a lot) I asked was answered promptly |
|
by Miss Miya Kim. The instructions given and the work that WorknPlay did on my behalf made my move from Australia to Korea very smooth.
I've now been here two months and I'm getting emails of planned events (as I write this I a 2day 1night trip is being planned).
WorknPlay were helpful, responsive and are continuing to involve me in activities after arrival in Korea . Thank You. |

Worknplay Consulting has done very well by me. I had talked to several recruiting agencies before approaching them but many of the others were more interested in placing me quickly than finding a decent school for me. Worknplay listened to my concerns and helped place me in a school that, so far, has been excellent. |
|
 |
|
| Specifically my recruiter, Miya Kim, approached school after school on my behalf all while keeping my interests in mind. She was quick to answer any questions and even called my parents for me when I arrived in South Korea to let them know I made it here OK.
Assuming all the recruiters are as good as Miya Kim, I recommend Worknplay Consulting without reservation. |

I've been in Korea for about 2 months now and everything has been absolutely fantastic. Miya from WorknPlay Consulting got me the job and city I asked for within a week. She was so efficient with her emails that I wondered if she even slept! Such a diligent worker and always to the point. I have taught in Japan and |
|
| Taiwan prior to my arrival in Korea and this is by far the most hassle free process I've been involved with. Miya gave me so many options from cities to schools to start dates and all I had to do was pick my ideal job and the rest was taken care of. After getting all my documents together, the ball was officially rolling and I got sent to Korea a month later. Everything I've experienced so far in Korea is on par with Miya's efficiency, generosity, and hospitality. Anyone who is interested in coming to Korea and not wanting to deal with nonsense should go through WorknPlay Consulting. Hope to see you here soon! |
