All right, I'll take a stab at it: 1. Learn Korean. Begin doing this now. Sure you will likely never approach fluency, but every little bit you learn will help you get by in a place that values personal connections. Sure there are TONS of ... Read More

Just curious by Lethe

I really like the Korean culture and people but one thing does not makes a sende in my mind. Why a Korean manager want to employer drink alcohol, he or she had to join? Thanks

liancourttalks

Indeed you are right, but what is important there isn't what is fun for you, it's what is fun for your manager :/ A good way around it is to claim that you are on medication that doesn't allow you to drink alcohol, Read More

Locals (or experts) I need your advice by InvisibleLegend

Hello guys, I need your advice on whether what I am planning to do can be of any use. Simply I graduated last year from the German University in Cairo, my major is mechanical and production engineering (I have a bachelor of Science now). I was ...

Indeed it is possible to find a job while on holiday here as a foreigner... However, you should realize it is far from likely. It's not like jobs in your field are posted on public job forums. Even when they are, it would most likely be in ... Read More

Hey Mr. Egypt! You sound quite accomplished. I am not sure weather you'd be interested in coming to Korea under a student visa or a working visa however. If you go the Student route you might find it to be easier. It seems there are quite a few ... Read More

Hello! My boyfriend and I taught for one year in South Korea and after a year of traveling and living back in Canada, we are thinking of going back again. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has experience in this situation? When we first ...

liancourttalks

Hello, I have been in this exact situation. I first came to Korea in 2009, left from 2010~2011, I returned in 2012 and intend to stay until 2015. I think a TEFL would be worthwhile. The English teaching industry has really gone into decline, so ... Read More

Hi Dalia, What visa do you currently possess? For most teaching positions (except university) you will require an E2 visa. If you already have one of these, you will need to get it transferred from your current employer to your new one via a ... Read More

Daejeon or Ulsan? by 92kimberly

Hi everyone! I just got accepted into the EPIK program, but since I'm so late to the process my recruiter has advised me that it's going to be too competitive for me to get placed in my original destination of choice, Daegu. He's ...

Congrats on getting a job Kimberly! Sounds like you're about to embark on an awesome adventure. If you like outdoorsy activities and picturesque scenery, then you would likely actually NOT want to be located in a city of any kind, and the ... Read More

liancourttalks

Yea, you'll be fine. It's certainly "safe" to be in Hongdae alone at night, but you may find the lure of local guys and chic clubs will be enough to get you in trouble with your host family for staying out late. You will likely be ... Read More
