 |
|
I am a late hire to the EPIK program. The orientation is scheduled to begin in Seoul tomorrow and end on Friday Sept. 1st. I will apply for my E-2 visa tomorrow in Bangkok. There are a few things I would still like to do here in Thailand (such as see a dentist and have some clothes made). I can also plan my flight to transfer from Seoul to Busan easily if I skip the orientation.
How worthwhile is the EPIK Orientation. Should I rush to catch the last day or two of the orientation or should I just report directly to my school on Sept. 1st? |

| As I understand it if you fail to show you may not get to work. Call the organizer Ms. Chung, pronto! |

Yes, my contract says the orientation is mandatory, but it also says it can be waved if there is a need to fill a vacancy.
Could you be a little more specific. It sounds kind of like the old joke with the punch line �contact Mr. Lee in China�. Is this person part of EPIK program recruiting, the orientation or a school district?
Thanks |

| Personally, I was also a late hire and never required to attend orientation, but it doesn't hurt to confirm with the school/recruiter... |
