I've been offered a contract with a school that doesn't list specific dates. Instead, it just says that the contract will start on the next day that I enter Korea (I'm not in Korea right now), and will last for twelve months. That's a little different from what I've dealt with in the past. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of situation?

I've been thinking about this a little bit more, and I realize that there needs to be a date in the contract, otherwise they could buy me a ticket for June!

DONT SIGN IT!

Have you posted the entire contract in the contract review thread? I would guess that contract is packed with clauses that will have you bent over begging for lube before you even step on the plane to come to korea...

Your one-year Period of Sojourn will start the day you enter Korea. If the contract doesn't expire until 366 days later, you will need an extension in order to finnish the contract.

Be careful.
