Ok, everyone - be nice. I am very new at this. Is there any way to legally work 2 positions? eg. Hagwon m-f 2:30 - 7:30 and a part time kindy or corporate job for example 3 days a week. Any way to do this legally? Thanks much all.

Assuming you're not either ethnic Korean or married to a Korean, you'd need permission from both employers and immigration. There are jobs that are part time and offer visa sponsorship sometimes, but they generally don't offer housing. check out www.worknplay.com

The first job has the visa and the house, so the part time would be an add on. If the Hagwon says yes, then immigration has paperwork and a process for the part time add on? Where does Worknplay fit in?

Ok, so what you are saying is that a part time position will get a separate visa and it is possible and that Worknplay may have some. Right? Thanks much. I'll talk to them.

nope- thought it was strictly hypothetical. worknplay is a good place to look for part time work though.

for more info on the visa situation, see this thread:
