I have a recruiter that wants me to send my E2 documents to Korea before they secured a job for me. I personally think that it's sketchy, but they say they need them to prove to the schools that I am ready to work. I always thought that the schools hire you and THEN you send your documents. What should I do?

Scan into your computer your: diplomas, certifications, passport photo page, criminal background check, etc.

When a recruiter asks for these things, just email them as separate JPG files. That will be enough proof that you have these things ready to send along with your signed contract.

If the recruiter requests you mail your original or notarized/apostilled documents before they've found you a job, then that recruiter gets dropped from your roster, since they would have screwed you, whether on this or something else.

Tell them you already sent them to another recruiter, see what they say. "Well, then I can't get you a school". Exactly, so why would I want to give out my documents.
