I have an interview with the KC tomorrow.

I don't know what to expect.

Didn't seem to find anything on a search. I'm sure people have done it. What should expect? What should I bring? The lady sounded so casual on the phone..... I don't know if this is going to take 5 minutes or 30.

Thanks

If it's anything like mine it'll be brief but it'll be hard to understand the guy cause he'll have a very thick accent which will turn out to be thicker than any accent you'll enocounter in Korea.

Expect to be asked probing questions about Why you want go Korea.

It's a formality. Look nice, don't be retarded and answer the questions honestly. Though the questioning process differences in Canada between men and women reminded me of the part of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the Knights of the Round Table are trying to cross the bridge.

Haven't figured how to get the interviewers to fly out of their seats like that though.

Cool. But I'm hardly on this site and obviously not as tech-savvy as you.

But thanks for looking that up for me, I'll be sure to hit you up for easy info next time I need help Cool
