Korean Job Discussion Forums

[LeChuck]

My plan is to start applying for teaching positions in Korea as soon as possible, as I would like to have a job lined up for the beginning of the Korean school year in March. I'm currently wrapping up my last semester at university and will have the paper copy of my degree by the end of January.

My questions is, is one month (end of Jan. - beginning of Mar.) enough time to find a job, or am I going to be cutting it close? I understand that teaching positions are available year-round, but I would simply like to start at the beginning of the year more than anything else.

You can find one very quickly. Just make sure you have all your documents in hand, and start searching the job board.

'm sure you know this, but documents you'll need:
university degree
Criminal record check
Medical checkup

Make sure these are in hand so that you can proceed quickly once you get the right offer.

If you are Canadian make sure you get the VSS added to your criminal check.
