| Is now considered late to be applying for EPIK or Gepik? When is too late? |

I read on their Twitter & Facebook page that they're planning on accepting applications until December.
They've already started interviewing so I would apply ASAP! |

Thanks. It seems like GEPIK accepts later than EPIK. A recruiter emailed me today and said they're no longer accepting apps for EPIK March 2013. |

I did, last week. But don't I have to have the CBC returned, and apostilled, before I can apply? Someone told me you have to attach a copy of that to your app or they won't even look a it. If that's true I can't apply until I get my CBC back. If it's too late by then maybe I'll look into hagwon jobs. It seems like some recruiters haven't even started accepted apps for GEPIK yet though. |

All you need at first is the application and your 2 scanned letters of recommendation. You do not have to submit your CBC until you pass the interview and move into the document collection stage. I have already applied and have an interview scheduled and I am still waiting on my apostilled CBC to come back. |

You have it reversed. You can apply right now for EPIK (and get accepted if you pass the interview), but then you have to get the CRC and stuff in as soon as possible. You do not necessarily need the CRC until after your interview.
For a hagwon job, they won't even probably consider you unless you have 100% of your documents. Since my CRC is getting old, if I fail to get into EPIK I had the foresight to order additional checks last week just in case since they only are valid for 6 months. |

Oh, thanks. I still have to get letters of recommendation together which could take a little while, so I don't know if I'm going to make it in time for EPIK. GEPIK seems to be later though, so I'm going to shoot for that, at least. I'll still try EPIK though if I can get everything together fast enough. I'm still deciding who I'm going to ask for my letters of recommendation though. |
