When filling out the "apply now" form there is an issue that I am willing to bet other people are experiencing.

After taking the time to fill out all info. I received a message about "invalid date format"

I was trying the U.S. format since I'm American which is mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy

then I tried the UK format dd/mm/yyyy and dd/mm/yy

I tried all combinations with slashes and dashes and none at all but nothing worked!

I learned something new however! The form was looking for yyyy/mm/dd which is a format I was unfamiliar with (maybe this is the Canadian format)

Anyhow I figured it out by looking at the web page's code since I design web sites - but I think that it would be valuable to include a small note next to date on that page for others who try to apply and experience that problem.

Perhaps say something like (format is yyyy/mm/dd) and that should solve 90% of issues you may be experiencing with poeple giving up on filling out the application to teach ESL in Korea.

this issue only occurs when somebody is using "tab" to navigate between fields. If the date field is clicked on it brings up a pop-up calendar.
