Korean Job Discussion Forums

I just want to get an idea of how many Korean-American/Canadian/Aust.... are able to find a job in Korea. I know that it's much harder for that group to get employment in Korea as an English teacher over other race. There are many reasons for this and I just wanted to see how many are out there and what you believe these reasons to be?

There seems to be a lot more positions being posted for Kypos now than there used to be. An interesting question though.

Hi ghostwhadow,

Have you seen these threads in the FAQs? They may not answer your question, but you may find a bunch of people you could PM with your question and encourage to post here. Some people I haven't seen around the board for a while like Jurassic5 and Jaebae I'm sure would be really helpful.

Will I Have a Problem Finding a Job Because I am Not White?

1. How Common is Discrimination?
2. Reasons Why Gyopos Aren't Hired?
3. Non White Teachers in Korea?
4. African American Teachers?
5. Caucasian Olnly?
6. Looking for Some Insight
7. Need info on Hagwons that hire non-caucasians

Gyopos are in high demand at leading test preparation hagwons in the greater Seoul area.

Conversation oriented hagwons definately prefer caucasians over gyopos, but test prep hagwons generally only hire gyopos.

Test prep hagwons also pay much better than conversation hagwons, often 2-3 times better.
