I got nervous today as I read the forum and one guy applied to 100 different places with no positive results. Anyways it will be my first teaching experience, I have no TEFL certificate and was hoping to go somewhere for Feb 2014.

I have no idea how many places to apply for or what the turn around time is for these types of jobs.

Misty92, based on your user name I'm assuming you are young and female. You will get a job in no time. Welcome to Korea! Very Happy

Do you mean E2 Visa paperwork? If so just about everything, I have to wait until January 6 to get the last document (transcript) I need unfortunately. Then I can head down to the Korean Consulate to get them confirmed (Canadian).

having to wait a little longer will be a good thing anyway. Itll give you more time to save up since you'll probably need to pay for your airfare, need money to get you by for a month when you arrive and possibly have to pay twice as much for visa as before.

You have to have your paperwork or else no replies. Your paperwork is:

FBI CBC apostilled and notarized - they are only good for 6 months.
Degree copy apostilled and notarized - good indefinitely
Two written recommendations - at least one a professor or educational inst.

You will want to get multiple copies of all obviously. The recommendations must be signed and in a sealed envelope with a signature over the envelope seal and you will want to scan one of the copies for each recommendation.

This is the method for Americans .

Canadians need a RCMP CRC and Degree copy notarized by a notary public. Both documents then need to be stamped at a Korean consulate.
In regards to the recommendation letters, it can be an advantage, but usually not necessary.
