I have a friend, who is already in Korea, trying to find a Chinese teaching job in Korea, but doesn't know how to do so. Her circumstances require her to obtain a job within 15 days or she has to leave the country. She is Chinese, knows English, BUT she doesn't know Korean. Does anyone know of any resources or just anything that can help her in her search for jobs that teach Chinese in Korea?

don't know of any online resources, but the only advice i could offer would be to go to as many hagwons as possible where chinese is taught and see if they are hiring. they hire foreign staff just like english hagwons do, just not in the same numbers.

I knew someone who worked on an E2 visa teaching Chinese. I'm not sure how she found the job, but she did it without speaking Korean. She could search for the information in Chinese, which I presume she already has. Other than simply cold-calling hagwons, the 750,000-strong Chinese community in Korea would be a good place to start. Try a Chinese grocery store as a starting point, maybe, to see what someone knows.

There are a Chinatowns in the area. The one I've been to is the one by Garibong Market in southwest Seoul.
