This is for people that are serious and who don’t want to be misled as we have tried many things and have found a company that has been around for 21 Years and pays you to advertise for them. My wife and I just started and are doing well. It is not an MLM company and no selling, no deliveries or stocking product. My wife’s aunt has been working with this Company (Melaleuca) for a little over 3 years and home schools 3 kids and makes $9,000 a month. It is a 500 Inc company and the CEO is on the U.S. Chamber of commerce board. I can arrange a web cast with my wife’s aunt for you and you can decide by yourself and WE WILL help you be successful. It is an honest Win Win. If you want to see a web cast (presentation) from your home let me know and I will arrange it as that truly is the way to see all about Melaleuca. Have you heard of it. We have just gotten started with my wife's aunts help as it is a team effort and it is fun. Just a quick F.Y.I. 8 out of 10 people that see the web cast join the company and 95% of the people that join re-order product each and every month. Let me know when you are ready and we will set up the web cast. e-mail: cleanandsafehome@yahoo.com Thanks, Rich & Teresa

The truth is you can't work for any well established company in Korea without a college degree. Unless you have special talent that corporation can use and must have they won't sponsor you and you'll never get a working visa in Korea. It's better to just face the facts and get a degree in Korea and work on the side illegally as an English teacher.

why are you going to korea if you don't speak korean/ Craigslist is a good place to start. also the classifieds section of "korea times"
3 :
first, go learn korean
4 :
Possibly, you could get a job in pharmaceuticals at a large international company here in Korea. I have a friend who works for one, and they have had foreign managers who don't speak much Korean. So wherever in the world you are, enquire at any of the leading pharmaceutical companies and see if they have any positions available in Korea. Good luck :D
5 :
You might want to try international search firms / headhunters to find any openings. There is no job search site in English in Korea - plus most jobs that require English skills also require Korean, and those jobs that don't need Korean are mostly manageral roles which are not usually posted in public often.To answer your question, yes you can, but you gotta find a right channel and I recommend start with search firms.

Hello, I am currently working in South Korea as an English Teacher. I was offered a job in Shanghai making 12,000 + housing included and I was offered a job in Singapore making 3,500 + 500(housing). Which one would be better for saving money. I have student loans that I have to pay. Thanks for your help!

Cost of living in Shanghai is a little lower than Singapore and you have more options in China.
2 :
certainly Shanghai as everything in Shanghai r a lot cheaper than Singapore. this is the 2 countries that i travelled a lot there as my mother was borned in SH & we visited there like every year & Singapore, my big sis was migrated there w/ her son so i go there often. Singapore is more like the living standard in HK. and SH definately a lot cheaper on everything unless u always hv to visit those luxury places / restaurants. n if u r teaching Eng in SH. u definately win their respectation a lot.
3 :
i would definately say Shanghai since housing is already included, to get a place anywhere in sh is usually really difficult. im not sure what singapore is like, but trust me when i ssay, you do NOT want to miss out on a place like Shanghai. that all im gonna say
4 :
Stay in Singapore i loved it there. Whenever i go there for holidays i don't want to come back, it's not always about money, you need to like the place too. Also, it is the safest and cleanest country in the world. You'll be better off in Singapore. Why? Great Food! Indian, Chinese, Portuguese etc.. Great Shopping Malls!!!! Another big + Ok Local people!!! Beautiful view of City and feel safe to even walk at 5 in the morning and live your day hehe

Are there Chinese language elementary schools in South Korea

There are no international schools that offer full Chinese immersion. At the public school level, I think the best you'll be able to do is find a school that focuses on foreign languages and have part of the day in immersion. Good luck.
2 :
In primary and secondary schools and universities (public and private) in South Korea, there are classes that teaches Chinese, Japanese and English, as well as Korean. You will find these in metropolises and large cities, particularly in Seoul and Busan. Your daughter can speak Chinese, is that correct? How old is she now? If she can speak and write Chinese, I encourage you to go speak with the principal of the desired school about giving her Chinese language analysis test first to see what is her level of proficiency in Chinese language. If possible, you may also need to ask whether she can attend Chinese language class in at least an intermediate level after the testing determines what level is she in right now. I hope this helps you with your question. Good luck!
