Last week, I faxed a lot of documents to the Administration team for the SNET program. I'm curious as to how fussy they are with the submitted documents - for instance, they wanted all my transcripts and photocopied degrees/certificates. I'm just not sure if those turned out well through fax, or if they even turned out at all.

Also, I've had 3 places of employment - 2 of the schools I've worked for gave me very positive letters of reference which also included the dates of my employment tenure. However, I did not get any kind of certificate of employment from either of them - will the letters of reference suffice if they have the start-end dates of my employment on them?

I have a certificate of employment for one of the schools I worked for, but it's all in Korean - the dates are very clearly marked though, but I'm not sure if that would be rejected.

Finally, I have a criminal background check from Canada from 3 years ago - I've never been in Canada since that background check. I wrote an explanation for it in an attached fax document, but I don't know if that'll be deemed acceptable.

The gentleman handling my application sent me an e-mail saying he'd "investigate and research my application package closely" - and I'm not quite sure what he really meant by that! I wonder if he thinks my documents are fishy...argh.

I had to get all of my Korean documents translated and then stamped again with the appropriate official stamp.....and it proved to a royal freakin headache getting translated papers stamped as the korean offices involved wouldn't stamp it as the translated document, in their eyes, wasn't one of their official documents. Several rows ensued but I finally managed to get all the right stamps....

Get them translated, as if you are leaving Korea it is always useful to have them in a file somewhere for your future job applications....
