 Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 2:42 pm Post subject: Broken contracts returning to work in Korea |
 |
|
| I ended/broke two hagwon contracts within one year. I was at the first school for five months and received a letter of release. I then transferred my visa to another school that had a six month contract and left after two months... not on good terms. I've been back in the States since last July. Can I get another E2 visa and should I not tell anyone (recruiter/school) I was ever there? That's the advice I've been given. I am working with one recruiter that knows everything and another one that doesn't. What would happen if I get a job through the second recruiter? Would they find out through immigration? |

Can you get a new E2 = maybe.
IF you handed in your ARC when you left then yes.
If you did NOT they maybe.
- If your ARC expired then yes.
- If you still have your ARC and it is not expired then NO.
Immigration will know and they do see the resume you send with your application.
Your best bet is to put both schools on the resume.
Tell them what you want (don't know the contact number, real names, etc) if/when they query it or ask for contact information.

| So it's better to work with the recruiter that knows everything? The resume he has has the first school on it but not the second, though he knows about it. Problem is I have an offer from a school/recruiter that doesn't know anything. So immigration would see my resume without Korean experience and probably not grant me a visa? Perhaps I should pass on this and just work with the other one, that way I won't have to worry about anything. and yes, I've turned in my ARC and I'm pretty sure my visa has expired. |

If a document legally requires you to list every school you've worked for or every E-2 you've obtained then you must do so.
Your resume should, IMHO list the five month job but not the two month one. I think this because you obtained a letter to leave the first job but you said nothing about the second job and 5 months is a bit more of a commitment than two. It is not unusual to leave out jobs that you worked for a short time.
You may be asked what you did after you obtained the letter and you will need a reasonable answer. Your commitment to finish a contract is a legitimate concern for any job. |
