Greetings,

I'm new here and my situation is a little unusual. Well, at least I seem to find it a little odd.

I'm currently in Osaka on a WHV and while Japan is awesome in tens and thousands of ways, the financial side of things isn't quite as rosy as veteran teachers back home were lead me to believe.

So, I decided that Korea might not be such a bad option after all.

I've done some reading and know that some places are better than others and not to expect a perfect dream job. I'm not in it for the money so much as the experience of living abroad.

My only concern is that I'm currently in Japan and have no intention of going back home only to then fly off to Korea, not when I could get in for a lot less hassle and flying time. Getting the Visa would be pretty easy, I already have a place to stay here and know Osaka well enough to run around on my own.

Will this cause any issues with potential employers?

Just make sure that the return ticket clause in your contract specifies a ticket to your HOME country or cash equivalent.

Other than that it should be no problem.
