School Promotions
For a school to gain more students it has to undertake a few promotions. Some teachers have been horrified to find they have been asked to dress up in humiliating costumes and stand inside amusement parks, public places etc. to hand out flyers for their schools.

A few teachers happily enter into the "thrill" of days like this and understand the odds of anyone they know actually recognising them, let alone laughing at them, but a few teachers have been known to go running to their contracts and say NO way! ?Show me where it says I have to do this!!!!?

For the few times this might happen don?t cause a hindrance to your director and please try to just go with the flow, sure it is not written in your contract that you have to dress up as giant teletubby for a morning but if it is only a day is it worth seriously complaining. Other types of promotions include:
  • Photo shoots - A situation like this is when you are asked to stand as a posed model for a long-time while 30 children individually have their photo taken with you. Or you are asked to pose somewhere else for promotion shots. You may even find your photo appears on flyers around the district and you never knew it was going to happen.

    Maybe you should have thought of the photo you first presented in your resume for your placement! A few teachers have been shocked to even find their head has been cut off and put onto a beautiful body ?just for promotion (These posters make great souvenirs of your trip to Korea when you return home.
  • Delivering flyers -You may be asked to be involved in the mass distribution of the promotion flyers and walk around apartment buildings handing these out, or maybe you will be positioned on a street corner to hand these out. Once again it is only a few times a year or it may never happen at all, just go with the flow.
