Call the school, ask them for it. They may only give you a Korean version, but just have it translated and notarized and you're done.

I may need to prove to an American employer that I worked for GEPIK, get some kind of formal proof of experiences. Has anyone done this? Anyone know the best person to contact? Phone numbers and emails would be helpful.

I suspect this won't be easy, but maybe I'll be mildly, pleasantly surprised...


Your old school is required by law (labor standards act) to give you a "certificate of employment" that includes:

personal identification information
Start and end dates
job description and duties

They are also allowed to charge a management fee of up to 1000 won for preparation of the document (plus postage if you want it mailed abroad).

Contact the school admin secretary (or someone who speaks English to translate for you).

It will be in Korean and may include an English translation if you are lucky (or if you e-mail them a copy of what you want they can print it on letterhead and add the principal's stamp).

In Korea, there are plenty of places to get it translated, especially in the Itaewon/Yongsan area. Signs up everywhere about translation and notary services (lots of international weddings around there that need translated documents).

Outside of Korea, that'd be a bit tougher, unless you're in a big city. Doubt there are a lot of Korean translators out there. Maybe their embassy/consulates can/will do it? Perhaps a university that has a Korean department?
