A contract is called "a rough outline of the working situation not to be taken seriously".


This hilarious, yet sad, and yet true all at the same time.

Could an employer discover that you previously had a visa issued to you through them?



When I was in Japan, I would work part-time with my sponsor school, and then they allowed me to get other work to earn full-time pay. I would do about 2 other private schools for about 6 months and go to another, but always continue teaching at the sponsor school. I didn't know about the one school rule in Korea when I first came. So, I left my first school in Korea after 6 months under mutual agreement and put the second school on my resume when I went to find a third school (for my second year in Korea).

That's when I found out about the rule, and I was worried immigration would compare my resume with my passport or ARC card and see that I didn't transfer locations or work 9 months as required at the time (now it is 6 I believe). Nothing happened. I even went through a recruiter and they didn't feel it was a problem. I used a recommendation letter from the school in Japan also.

Always remember this, and you'll not go far wrong.

I am a certified teacher How could being an ACTUAL teacher work against me?


While you're thinking it over you might apply to a Taiwan public school. They require ESL teachers to be licensed, so they will like you.

The cynicism is not too far from the truth and it's getting to be that way in the West as well.
