Did anybody put unemployed / seeking work on the Consulate visa application? Will this be a problem?
I'm having trouble finding work right now, and it probably won't get any better by the time I send in my VISA application.
I'm currently out of work, but will start a GEPIK contract early march. |

A native English speaker unemployed and wanting to work in Asia teaching English? That's crazy. It never happens.
Only cultured and eccentric folk with PhD's in Anthropology make it over the Pacific  |

uh...Thanks?
I guess I should ask, has anybody done this before or did you simply list your last employment? |

| I put unemployed on my visa app and had no issues getting a visa. lifeinkorea's sarcasm may have been a bit over the top, but he has a point. |

The opposite happens (in Asia at least). They don't care if you have worked before in another country. If you have 5 years experience in another country, they still assume you have no experience. You have to work your way up (to the top of the bottom rung). |
