Do f class visa holders actually take these jobs? This posting works out to 22,500 an hour (no airfare, no severance, that is it).

I have to wonder if asking for F class visas and offering ridiculous salaries is not a way of saying the company will take anyone in Korea even those here illegally.


Looking for teachers with F-visa series for 1-3 mos. to start immediately. Location: Bundang (suburb of Seoul) Theme: Internationalization Schedule: 830-530 M-F Contact hours: 30 hrs/wk Salary : 2.7 - 3.0 mil.won/mos Class size: small groups 12-15 Age group: 6th grade students in simulation workshops Meals: 3/day M-F Housing possible (free furnished pair-share dorm housing on campus) call Tess J. Kim 031-725-5611 [email protected]

It is the Seongnam English Town and they are desperate enough to take anyone stupid enough to sign on.

(they just had a major staff walkout - AGAIN).

Sign on at your own risk.

That's the best thing about having an F class VISA -- if the job sucks you can walk and the only thing anyone can do is watch you leave. I wouldn't take the job listed, but I'm sure someone will.

you can just walk out anytime? or still have to adhere to the contract and give your months notice?

If they are anal and don't adhere to the contract, why not?

It depends. If you need the reference, then you have to complete the contract and/or give notice. If you don't need the reference there is nothing stopping a person on a F VISA from walking. I have never walked out on a contract, but if I had a job that was intolerable, and had a new job waiting, then there is a possiblity that I would walk out. Hasn't happened yet, and don't plan on it, but it is possible.

what's your main beef with this ad? Isn't it offering more than most starting jobs?
