Hello and I am hoping someone out there still reads this thread:
I was made an offer three weeks ago that I had to turn down. I teach at a university in Korea and the offer was for while the semester was still on. Even if I could get out of my contract early, I can't just leave my students without grades, reference letters, etc. Anyway, I mentioned this as the reason for having to refuse the offer, and asked when I could expect the next one so I could prepare to leave. I still haven't heard back from the recruiting office.
I have seen in this thread that they may just close your file if you refuse an offer. I was assuming they would tell me in that case, but does this sound like it may have happened here and I have to reapply?
Do they take into account why I couldn't accept that offer (it was just too little notice) and can they push the start date ahead, or can they only make offers for the next start dates?
Thanks for any info you can provide. I am sorry to have to bring it to this board, but I am not getting any info from the recruiting office and I need to start making some plans.
