Ivy in Asia

Well, it's actually Denver at the moment, but I'll only be here another few weeks before I ship off once more to Asia - specifically, Korea (for sure), Japan (maybe), Singapore (maybe), and China (unlikely but possible). I'll explain all that in a minute...

I'm in Denver now because I decided to strike while the iron was, well, lukewarm and expand further on my teacher recruitment business. I'll have a new website up for it very soon (www.ivyinasia.com), and it's obviously called "Ivy in Asia". It's just an improvement on my previous Yahoo pre-made website, but it will make recruitment much easier for me, for the teachers, and for the school Directors I work with. It will allow automatic uploading of all necessary files (like resumes and contracts), it will have a members-only section for teachers to network amongst themselves while in Asia, it will have a school Directors' page for them to easily request teachers from me, and it will organize everything so there's not so much confusion with the Visa and hiring processes like there is right now. Basically, it's just further automation of little things that I shouldn't have to waste my time on. I'll still be contacting my recruits directly - I wouldn't want to lose my personal touch! - but now I think I'll have some more time to spend on other things, like going to Asia and finding some great schools to work with.

More on all this later, and hopefully more frequent posts!
