So, I have a C-3 visa, the tourist visa. I can get the F-4 visa, but only if I'm in Korea, which is not likely to happen unless I get a job first (free airfare and all). I don't have relatives with free time who can get the family registry for me in Korea... so yeah.
Has anyone in the same situation as me been hired before? |

Not unless you meet the requirements for an E2 (assuming you want airfare and housing).
Where are you / what passport do you hold that you need a C3?
None of the English qualified countries need it, they get 90 days visa free, so you are equally as unlikely to get a job in advance of your arrival.

hmmm you have an actual C3?
Since Americans get an automatic 90 day entry on arrival now I am surprised that you actually paid for a 90 day visa and even more surprised that a consulate let you get it.
Unless you have all the other requirements for an E2 (BA, clean CBC, etc) it is virtually unlikely that anyone will front you a plane ticket.
Could you get a job (as a teacher) after you land and change to an F4 = probably (even if you are not qualified legally).

Since what year have Americans have been able to enter w/o a visa to Korea for 90s days?
I got my visa in 2005, and it's gonna expire soon. |

Since Koreans were allowed to enter the US visa free (2008).
Guess you have been out of touch for a while. |

Not really. I got my visa in 2005, and the visa isn't one-time entry, but expires after 5 years. |
