 |
|
I have seen job ads for public schools, through EPIK and GEPIK and those jobs start in spring. I have my criminal record check but not my apostille. Is it too late to apply?
I have seen the new EPIK application form for August, and it seems even more complex than expected. But I would prefer to work with GEPIK anyway. I would prefer to get a teaching job this spring than wait till August. I have recommendation letters and proof of employment for one year.
I choose public schools because they seem the safer option. I do wish Korea could go back to 10 years ago when lots of jobs were on offer there. |

Bad News: Yes, you're around 1-2 months late for the Spring 2013 intake.
Good News: You're right on time for the Fall 2013 intake. |

I've seen GEPIK and other POE/MOE public schools still hiring. All is not lost. Hit the job boards. |

I've seen a few alright. Also on the GEPIK FB page sometimes people post up ads there. |

| I'll add that you can find positions that are available all year long, but that the main intakes are March and September. |

| Jeolla provinces' intake is April 15th or around then, so if you apply for your apostille today and start the process with a recruiter you could still be in for that. Try footprints or canadian connections |
