| western companies tend to hire internally in their own countries, Korean companies only hire waygooks who are highly skilled and have lots of experience. You might get lucky with an internship but you will need to be in country for that, the other option is to check out the Korean company websites and apply direct but usually this is during the summer months and i'm sure they will have quite high qualification expectations in order to hire you over a local. |

Non-English teaching jobs WHERE? Middle school, high school, university, corporate?
There are a ton of university level non-English teaching jobs, and more coming down the pike every semester. You can just look on individual university web sites or check out the Chronicle of High Ed's job page.
Corporations here do hire consultants, but that is on the business end, not on the education end; these people have experience and some serious degrees - they generally are seeking specific advice on specific projects, sectors, or markets, and they go to the big boys for it.
For middle and high school jobs, you'd probably have to check out the foreign schools. You'll have to get all your ducks in a row for one of these jobs as they're pretty competitive as far as I know.
Might help if you filled us in on your background and experience, plus your target market. Cheers, P.R. |

I did some consulting for a Korean company. The others are right. Half of my department had business degrees from Wharton and the other half had degrees from one of the top three Korean universities. At the time I was the youngest guy there and I got my gig through connections. I imagine those jobs would otherwise be difficult to get. |

Are you a gyopo? I imagine a job like this is difficult to land unless you are really VERY good at making connections. In which case, please let me take you out for a cup of coffee sir.

| Just means you'll pay (pick up the tab/foot the bill). But you shouldn't be using a blunt form of speech with someone you haven't met yet, especially if you may want to hit them up for a favour. Nice try, though. Drive on. |
