 |
|
are they widely available or few & far between?
i'm 6 months into a contract, and not sure i can cope with another 6 months of underhand behaviour of my unscrupulous director.
not ready to give up on korea as i love it here. just worried how the next 6 months are going to pan out.
if there was a chance of getting another job i'd grab it. |

6 month contracts can be had by those who are in the country already.
The tricky part is getting released from your current one.
Unless you plan to blackmail a release letter from your school you may be stuck there until the end of your contract or forced to quit and wait out your visa while sitting on a beach in Thailand or the Philippines.
Even if you quit or get fired your current boss does NOT have to release you from your visa to allow you to find another job. You may have to use the labor board and immigration to fight for it. |
