Sure, you'd make more flipping burgers at home, but just think about the experience!

The employers knows some poor soul will jump at the chance. These are the same kids driving down wages and benefits. People, be smart!

The airfare might make up the difference for those hired from overseas for a short term job.

...is it legal to hire an out of country person without the correct visa for a short term position like that?

If they gave me the pay plus what my airfare would be, I'd go for it! Just booked ticked to the eastern US and it was darn close to 2 mil a ticket!

The earlier you apply the less you get. Leave it to the last minute and you should easily get 1mil+ per week.

I bet this ad won't be choosing anyone who needs more than a flight to Japan.

A C4 Visa in Korea is for temporary employment and most commonly used for English teachers working in summer or winter camp position in Korea. However, this visa is also for artists, athletes, models, hi-tech experts and other performers that will be working less than 90 days in Korea.

But they'll still have to make a visa run to somewhere to get the E-2.

No, the C-4 allows them to teach short-term for 90 days or less.

I guess if someone got the 1.5 and a ride over here, it'd be worth it.

My guess is they'll only fly someone over if they can't hire someone in country. If I took it,. I'd try to negotiate for the airfare in cash or I wouldn't take the job.
