When you were first looking for jobs, did you try and apply for two or three jobs at once, or just one job?

What do you suggest about the diploma? I don't really want to send the original. Will a notarized copy work?

Thanks all for any tips.

My school accepts notarized/apostille sealed copies as well as originals. Maybe try that?

Sealed? How would you notarize your diploma if it is sealed?

IF the copy has an apostille then it is acceptable to immigration in place of the original. IF you are from Canada then you need to have your copy certified by the KOREAN consulate in Canada.

Another alternative is to get a university issued duplicate of your parchment.
They are considered to be an original.

In regards to applying for jobs. Apply for as many as you like. Nothing is written in stone until you send the hard copies of your documents.

Don't send your original diploma. I used a notarized/apostillized letter from my Uni that said I graduated with immigration and they accepted it.

Handing over your original diploma to your employer can potentially be held by your hagwon boss and used as insurance so you don't roll out on them.
