Hey guys, my name is Peter. I am graduating from Fordham University this May and am currently in the process of searching for a teaching position in Seoul for no more than one year. Basically, I have sent out numerous emails, posted my resumes on job boards, etc. I received an acceptance letter from Aclipse and Aclipse directed me to Chungdahm, where I am in the process of filing out my application for them. I am in search of a teaching position in Seoul (I know it is harder for me to get in if I have a preference). I was wondering...
1. Since I am a dual citizen (exempt from military service in 2012), is it legal for me to work in Korea as an English teacher without getting into trouble?
2. What recruiters have you guys applied to? Success stories? Failures? (Only for people with knowledge of dual citizens teaching in Korea please!)
3. Any further advice?
I also heard I do not need to do the finger print cbc crap that is required by a lot of the recruiters since I am a dual citizen.
I am in the process of applying to EPIK, GEPIK, Chungdahm
Applied to: YBM, Poly...
ANYWHERE ELSE???
Sorry for the annoying post, I have looked on google and Esl cafe for similar threads, but making another one will help me out a lot. Take care. |

Yep annoying! Why should people help you out if you are not bothered to do the work or reading. You are going to get a degree. Use it and do research.
Use google to search Daves ala site:forums.eslcafe.com/korea dual citizen.
1. No experience myself, but for some people it sounds tricky. COnsider giving you local consulate a call. Yet they will likely give wrong information.
2. Recruiters are a dime and dozen. They can both be great to scum. They do not work for you. Really search the board about recruiters and read the stories.
3. Do your own work and read more. Really check out the FAQs. Did I mention read.
FBI Check = If you want EPIK and heck all the others, you are legally required to submit a fingerprint check. As a dual citizen you can work in Korea, but to work in education you have to legally have the requirements. So clean record you can teach at a hagwon. You have a record congrats you get to tend bar or any thing else but teach. |
