| "I would like to express my gratitude to Worknplay Consulting for getting me a job teaching English in Korea . Shortly after applying for a job in a Korean public school, via the Worknplay Consulting website, I was contacted by phone for an interview, which happened to take place at 2am; however, I quickly |
|
 |
|
forgave Emily, my interviewer, as in the following weeks she was to become, singularly, the most helpful person I've ever known. In order to teach in a Korean public school, there is an immense amount of paperwork to fill in and sign - enough to ordinarily trigger convulsions - though Emily's clear and concise instructions made the whole process seem a doddle. She was always prompt to reply to my emails and to settle any queries I had sent her. When I anxiously arrived at Incheon airport, she was there to greet me, buy me a cappuccino, and walk me all of ten metres to the appropriate bus stop; and I felt a whole lot happier and more relaxed for it. So thank you Worknplay Consulting and thank you Emily :)"

" Worknplay Consulting was the most responsible and friendly company that represented on my behalf. The company created a concrete relationship between me and the employer from the beginning and still stays in touch to verify everything is well. Although, I was Korean-American they |
|
were able to find a position for me as a native english speaker.
And I know this took extra care and attention. If you are seeking for a position over in Korea this is the agent and a friend you need." |

| "As soon as I posted my resume on-line, many recruiters contacted me. I choose to work with Emily from Worknplay Consulting because she listened to my desires and searched for positions to match.. She also provided me valuable information on teaching schedules and the different types of |
|
 |
|
| schools in Korea . Thanks to Worknplay Consulting, I am happily teaching in a very pleasant school with a comfortable schedule and the kindest colleagues in Korea." |

"I used Worknplay Consulting for the first time to seek a public school job in Yeosu. I found the Company and Gloria in particular to be helpful in providing information about the process required to get the job. While under pressure, she responded well and also helped with providing information about the |
|
visa trip that I needed to do and providing me with a webpage of the school to look at.
She worked hard on my case and while it took a while to organise all the neccesary paper work, it was completed with time to spare. She was also helpful in providing information on the train schedules to come to my city.
The school that I work in is a private high school and they have been so far very efficient in dealing with me. They have been welcoming and helpful in providing me what I needed to make my time here easier. They have even acted so far above and beyond what was required under the contract and have been a good match for my type of personality.
I would use work n play again in seeking other public school employment and as they have followed up after I have been placed with a school with actions to try and increase my knowledge of the city and others who live here. I would recommend them as being the most professional of recruiters that I have so far dealt with. " |

| "I arrived at my first Public School Position through Work n Play about two years ago. I looked to Worknplay Consulting for help in selecting my new position in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do. Gloria Hwang at Worknplay Consulting has been my Angel. She was always available when I had queries and |
|
 |
|
issues. She is truly dedicated to placing the candidate with the best possible position available. The Worknplay Consulting website has been a Gem-pot of information regarding Jobs as well as Social Events and I am blessed to have come accross this company. I am constantly referring friends and prospective Teachers to Work n Play for information and Assistance. Thank you, Gloria and Worknplay Consulting! Keep up the good work!"

"I'm currently teaching in a public school in Yeosu , South Korea . So far, the experience has been extraordinary. The school has been supportive in every way possible, and have showered me with warm hospitality since my arrival in the city. Minimal obstacles have come my way, but they have disappeared |
|
just as quickly, with the help of efficient people such as Gloria, my Worknplay Consulting recruiter, as well as Hong, my head co-teacher.
Gloria has ensured that all contract points were have been met by the school, and also aided me in booking flights that I struggled to book from South Africa . Although I have been in the country for a month, Gloria sporadically drops me an e-mail to ensure that I am still happy in my position.
I would encourage any person considering South Korea as a destination for working travel to pack their bags immediately and catch the soonest flight to this beautiful country. Bon voyage." |

| " Worknplay Consulting took care of all my needs once I decided to work abroad in Korea . In the States I was working a full time job while also taking my certification class. They gave me the freedom to choose whichever school I was interested in while also accomodating my
busy schedule. |
|
 |
|
| They made it so easy for me! They worked directly with the school and let me know what I needed and when to send it. I really did nothing except sign a few documents and get my visa. They set everything else up for me. I am really happy to have had Worknplay Consulting. I really recommend their company!" |

" In the latter part of 2006 I decided to seek further employment opportunities and challenges. In doing so this meant that I would not only change jobs, but also change industries and countries by moving from New Zealand to South Korea . Throughout this period of change I had the good fortune to |
|
have Gloria from Worknplay Consulting, a Seoul based recruitment agency assist me.
Making any career or job change is stressful, however relocating to another country, especially one that is quite culturally different to mine, can be potentially very stressful. In my case it has proven to be remarkably stress free and for this I must thank Gloria. At every stage of the process she has acted professionally, and reassured me and offered explanations of what is happening. On a number of occasions she telephoned me in New Zealand to further clarify and explain various points.
I have now been in S Korea for approx eight weeks and I am happily settled into working at an elementary school in a small city in the southern part of the country. Often a recruitment agency will have no further contact with applicants after placement, however Gloria has checked on my status and I am reassured that should I require advise or assistance she is just an email or phone call away.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Gloria or her company to anyone seeking a teaching position in Korea . She is professional with a very pleasant manner and importantly clear and easily understandable English ability. Should you require any further comments please email me at: ron.hey@gmail.com" |
