 |
|
Probably a stupid question, I know. I guess I feel like getting out all my stupid questions while I'm still under the blanket of being a newbie.
My situation: I just finished working 3 months in Korea without a work visa. It was not a situation I went into knowingly and I did not like it, so I left.
I am now trying to find another job in Korea, this time go back legally. However, it would be really helpful to show on my resume that I have experience in Korea..... However however, that experience wasn't exactly legal...
Anyone know what the deal with that is? Should I be hiding that job until my dieing breath or does it not matter anymore since it's in the past?
simple, possibly stupid question, but advice is appreciated. |

| If you were on great terms with your last job and boss then by all means let them know, for SURE they will contact your old job. So if they will bad mouth you then best to not list any experience. |

| Most places only really consider experience by the year as far as pay grades go. I'd be inclined to leave it off myself. But if you left on good terms that's different than if you pulled a runner. I personally wouldn't want to explain during an interview why I pulled a runner. |

| If you are on an E-2, you should not write "undocumented" work on your resume'. Your employer has to submit your resume' to immigration to secure a visa and if "undocumented" work is on it, you could be fined by immigration. I have known more than one person who has had this happen to them. Be careful! |

yeah, that about finalizes it. Even though I pulled a runner, I was on fairly good terms with the boss. He knows he fucked up my visa and that's the only reason I left. However, if my resume is submitted to immigration, then nothing will be mentioned of that job |

| Perhaps in the future if you go to work, say, in Japan, you can list it. Definitely leave it off when applying for another Korean job. |

Why would you list criminal activities on your resume?
Immigration can use that information to deny you a visa.
Immigration can use that information to fine and deport you.
An honest employer will decide that you are untrustworthy and unsuitable for employment. |

yeah, I don't know. I thought maybe the fact that my intentions were to get a work visa, it just didn't work out.... that maybe that would make it okay. But it likely wouldn't |
