| I was hired through EPIK. I was interviewed at the Toronto Korean embassy. Will the idiots at immigration actually ask me to do this again. |

I know this is a leap of faith, but if you're in Korea, no. |

Well lets hope not, anyway. Whether re-sigining at a place, changing jobs, going travelling for a month or 2.... I still think this would be a ridiculous sanction to impose, and can't possibly see how this measure would reduce the number of unqualified/pedo/druggie/whatever-else-we-are-assumed-to-be's from getting a job here. |

What questions did they ask? Did they do a background check? Was it productive? |

The questions were pretty standard job interview questions.
I hope they did the background check. I have nothing to hide and don't want to do it again. |

You do realise that you are going to have to go back every year for the same interview don't you.
After all you could over the space of a year develop a strange sexual fetish or maybe even a dislike for Korea. |

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to simply put the same questions in writing on a job application? |

Just so I understand. The employer interviews over the phone, agrees to hire you, you sign a contract, THEN you have to get an interview at the embassy and answer some of their job interview questions? Hmm. Somethings not right. Can't seem to put my finger on it, though. 
Talk about the mother of all slam dunk interviews. Which embassy clerk is going to bother causing a huge rift by overruling the employer's take on the interview and communication that they've had with the teacher, reject the visa, effectively nullify the contract, and give a big setback to an employer with a teacherless classroom and a dwindling student enrollment?

| Posts like this confuse me. The new regulations (including the consulate interview) don't go into effect until Dec. 1 or later ("sometime in December" according to some) so why was the OP even required to do it? |

If a mistake is made at either end, they are not left holding the bag.
They are saving face. |
