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

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

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

Going back to South Korea for Teaching by marieking
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 ...

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, Im Dalia. I am looking forward to work in a Foreign School in Ulsan. I wanna know what are the documents needed. I am now residing in Ulsan and hopefully can get a teaching job for the next school years. Thanks, D

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

Seeing as how you girls are from Cambodia and the Philippines respectively, I'm afraid I have some harsh things to say on the topic. Many ladies from your countries are essentially imported to Korea as "mail order brides". A ... Read More
