 |
|
Recently, I learned of an ESL teachers who fled the country this weekend. The decision to leave was based on personal reasons.
I know the director and worked for him in the past on a few occasions. I also know of a couple unemployed candidates in the area who could fill the position.
If I were to arrange a meeting between the potential employee and employer, could I expect financial compensation if he or she were hired. Or, would I be screwed over my the employer.
Since I am not a recruiter, I guess I would have to rely on the discretion of the director, or could I actually sign a contract to work as middle man.
Your thoughts. |

Well for one, if you're on an E-2 visa it would be illegal, even if your employer okayed it, as it is outside the bounds of an E-2 visa. An E-2 visa is for language teaching only.
Two, if you're on an E-2 visa and the Director of the school decides not to pay you once you've done the work there is nothing you can do about it.
Three, if you tried to cause problems for the director for not paying you he can just tell immigration what you did and get you in a whole heat of sh*t. Especially if you have a contract between yourself and the school because then there would be irrefutable evidence to prove it.
Now, if you�re on an F-2 visa, you are allowed to work anywhere you please but to work as a recruiter you do need to have a recruiter�s license, which is not easy to obtain and takes time to get, and therefore would still be illegal. As you are not working for a recruiting company, you would also have to open your own recruiting company which means that you would also have to get a business license and an actual office to obtain both of these licenses. |

Yeah...we don't swim in your toilet, so don't pee in our pool! hahahaha
I know plenty of people in Korea doing this on the side. If a school wants to give you some money to find them a teacher, take it. Same as doing privates and we all do them.
However, if you are one of my clients, I strongly advise you not to in anyway follow the practices of anything untoward or illegal throughout your stay in the great nation of ROK.
But really, the pair of drunk MM's is right...high risk factor of not getting paid or getting caught by Immigration.
I do hope you are going to organise a workable contract, all visas, flights, airport pickups and give 12 months of A/S also.
It is a great way to make extra money here mate. Go for it! Don't forget to put your contact details on the contract also. Immi officers love that. |

We should have a chat sometime AussieKimchi. We are both in the same line of work and both Aussies to boot.
Take care Mate. |

Thanks for the love, VirginIslander, and for hammering home the point I was trying to make.

To canker sore,
Who are you trying to impress by publicly insulting me on the internet? Are you honestly that insecure about yourself? After years of being rediculed, it must feel good to lash out at somebody, anyone. I am glad that it is me and not one of your students.
Typing on a forum is like having a conversation. I am not writing a thesis; I am not looking for grammatical errors; and I dont give a dam how I type after a four day weekend.
Wow, if employement in Korea is an indication of language proficiency, then you mastered your first language. Your parents must be very proud. What else can you do?
My advice: You are an ESL teacher in Korea, grow a pair and dont take yourself so seriously! |
