|
|
I've an interview at a public school.. they've asked for 'proof of teaching experience'. Now, it's not for SMOE and the pay,
but, normally, what is considered proof of experience. I know it's a standard question and needed for public teachers.
reference letters?
Would pay receipts for the different jobs suffice?
They've just told me 1 day ago, so no time to get refs from all employrers.
Thanks. |

Typically, your certificate of employment from past employers.
(they are required by law (labor standards act) to give you one).
It would typically have:
name and ID
Start date
End date
General job description (ie: teacher, English, G4,5,6)
And have the school director/principal signature and dojang on it.

FYI: No reference letter/ no pay stub will suffice. This is a different legal document.
Proof of teaching experience/certificate of employment form
is an official document from your school.
All Public schools have a standard form that says CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT at the top. It is used to verify your length of service (start and stop date)hours per week.month,teaching experience, Name/ID #/School/ Position/with a red school stamp on it signed by the principal.
If you have worked in a private school, you most likely did not receive one upon contract completion and will have to make your own CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT paper with all of the information printed on it, and have your previous boss(es)/owner(s) to sign it and stamp it.
Non signed/ stamped letters are not accepted by public schools. Also please make sure they/you put FULL TIME TEACHER on the form.
When/IF you arrive at an interview without the info, the public school/interviewer is usually quite surprised because it is usually given on the last day of employment. But of course, hagwons are notorious for not following protocol.
If you do not provide proof from ALL of the places that you mentioned on your application,(at the signing of the contract) no pay increases will be given and your salary will be lower than anticipated.
Prior to this year, you could submit the forms at a later time, and still be given the pay bump. New rules say salary will remain the same throughout the year. So please try to get in touch with your schools ASAP!
I hope this helps!
EDIT: Sorry, I just re read your post and you mentioned that it "wasn't " for the pay. Disregard this post. |

ohh, thanks for all the quick info.
And, of course, no one has ever given me this form. I have only worked as an afterschool teacher before, which technically, is sort of a hakwon.
I can not prepare these forms in one day, but I do have pay stubs (official) from most of my jobs, and my last 2 letters of release (which have the start and end date), so that'll have to do I guess.
I'll type up a list of numbers they can I guess to check.
PS: It isn't for pay, as I'm only their morning teacher for 3 hours.
I guess I'll see how bureacratic they are. |
