Teaching Korea Newbie 2 - ESL Teaching

Hey,

I went on to my recruiter's Korean site and translated it for a bit more info. Oddly, when a list of their candidates came up, including me, it listed name, nationality, hopeful area and the date we all registered.

Under "hopeful area" it came up as Military officer for a lot ot people. I;m guessing this was a bad translation but, just incase, does anyone know what this might mean? (I'd asked for a position in Seoul or Incheon).

Hope it's ok to post a link to it, here:
Translation result for http://total-english.com/board/bbs/board.php?bo_table=lec&wr_id=394

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about but unfortunatley I began worrying. Apologies.

Interesting. I just took a look at your link, and sure did see "hopefully area" as Military Officer. I think it's a bad translation. You may want to contact your recruiter and clear it up with them.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to be talking to them on the phone in a few days so I'll maybe just clarify with them that I'm not looking to join the army.

Hahaha... funny. I don't think they have plans to sign you up into the army.

You would think English schools get their ads proof read before posting to set a good example.

That would be a let down and a shock.

"So where's the school?"
"What do you mean school?"
