Hi everyone,

Came across this today, so thought I'd post it here. Korea Tourism Organization is hiring an English Editor. As the ad says, they are looking for "native level" English, so maybe nationalities are open. Quite frankly the salary and benefits are insanely low, but it's the kind of position that might look good on a resume and get your foot in the door in Korea. Here is the information, but bear in mind that I have no connection to the KTO or this opportunity:
