[jaiho]

Hi my name is Jaiho and I'm a university student that will be graduating after 2005 April. I've only got 1 more year to go of school then I'll be no longer a student

Anyways, this summer I'm really looking forward to go to Korea and would like to find a summer teaching job there. I have relatives, but I want to be independant and not live with them, do my own thing. I'm also a 2nd generation korean Canadian (born in Canada but both parents are Korean).

I've been doing a lot of research on this amazing website Dave's ESL Cafe and i must say it has been very useful, actually a bit too much information!!! I know I can apply for a F-4 visa cuz of my heritage and that there are a lot of bad schools to be careful of. Make sure I call a teacher working there and speak to them to ask how conditions are, etc...

But my biggest concern is, how difficult would it be to find a job teaching from Mid-June to end of August? Would a director sign me a contract for such a short duration?

Also, I've been looking at the Korean Job postings and everyday there are sooo many postings.. i don't even know which ones to start filtering out. I've already got a full arsenal of telephone cards to use but there are just too many schools and too many postings... i'm confused where to start...

Can anyone offer some advice?

Does an F-4 visa allow you to teach without a degree?
