Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a guide? I searched online and I can find tons of job openings.

• Unfortunately, many of those “job openings” are bait to get you to sign up with a recruiter. While we don’t deny that recruiters have their place in the process, the only way to really ensure you get the best job possible is to take the job hunt into your own hands. We give you the tools to choose your own employer and negotiate your own contract.

I have a bunch of student loan debt and credit card debt. Will I be able to pay my bills while teaching in Korea?

• Absolutely. South Korea is the place to not only save money, but also to pay off your school loans and other debts. We did both! And the best part is you’ll still be able to travel and have tons of Korean fun. We believe it’s possible for anyone to save or pay off at least $1,000 per month their first year.

I’m confused by the visa process. I don’t even know which one I qualify for!

• No problem! Our visa walkthrough starts with a simple flowchart to show you which visa you need. From there, we show you exactly what you need to to each step of the way.

I’ve never even taught before. Should I apply to teach in Korea?

• Absolutely, but you need to make your application stand out from the crowd. The competition for ESL jobs in Korea is greater than ever before, but it’s still entirely possible to get a great job with no experience. We’ll show you how to optimize your resume and cover letter and nail your interviews with Korean employers so you’ll stand out as a “must have” candidate.

I have a ton of job offers, but I don’t know which one to choose! What should I look for in a job contract?

• We’ve included a contract checklist that tells you exactly what needs to be in your contract before you sign. You’ll never have to worry whether you are being scammed or shortchanged by your employer.
