Are there people out there that haven't received their contracts yet? I passed my interview at the end of May and turned my documents in (to my recruiter) during the beginning of June. I talked to my recruiter and he says he still hasn't heard from EPIK about anything. Should I be worrying or are there a lot of people in my position as well? Thanks in advance

I'm assuming you will be coming over with the batch that arrives in late August, to begin working in September? If so, don't expect your contract until early August at the earliest.

I think I am part of the late batch of applicants. Are there two groups that are going in the summer? Isn't the orientation planned for August 19th?

I was in the exact same boat as you guys. One thing that you have to learn about Korea even before you come here: EVERYTHING is done at the last minute, even something this major. You just have to learn to accept that.

You will most likely not get your contracts until August.

I got my contract on Monday. I seriously doubt they'll leave you hanging until August.

I hope you all get your contracts quickly, however last year, mine didnt arrive until less than 2 weeks before I was supposed to be on a flight to Korea. I suspect many of you will probably be in the same boat.
