Instead, Hannah Nam, another HR coordinator, put me in touch with Susie, the principal of YBM "Pine" division's Gaepo International Academy. After a static-y cell phone conversation during which I had to say, "I'm sorry?" a few dozen times, particularly when she asked how tall I was, we hung up on somewhat uncertain terms. The connection had dilapidated at the end, and I was so nervous I didn't realize until after it was over that I had no idea what she'd said. The only words I could remember were, "It's very late there?" and, "hour."
I convinced myself that she had meant, "I'll call back in an hour," which, of course, she hadn't, and she didn't.
So I may never find out exactly what Principal Susie said at the end of our interview. But when I tactfully emailed Hannah to try to feel out the situation, she responded with an official job offer and a multi-million won salary. I accepted.
I'll need another pair of slacks.
