I'm searching for an internship or short contract in South Korea in Information Technology?
Preferably in a Junior Business Analyst role, or either in a Test Analyst capability. I have an MBA (with Strategic IT) from a reputed university in Australia, and have Australian IT experience. Are there opportunities in South Korea for such work, and if yes, can anyone give me some pointers on how to go about it? I do not know any Korean though. Thanks in advance!

Working visa to South Korea
Working visa to South Korea?
Hey, I live in Ireland and want to visit Korea. I am going to take a trip there and if I like it then I would like to stay for a long time. But I was wondering if there was a way to go and work for like a year. Lots of people do that in Australia. Just go and live for a year. Is there a way of doing something like this in S.Korea?

Teaching English would be the easiest way to do that.

Yes you can. If you have a Bachelor's degree you can get a job teaching English. See link below for information.

As long as you get a job in China, you can get a work visa. Visa is nothing to do with your degree.
2 :
Your WORKING visa has everything o do with your degree. Obviously Chan has no idea of what he's saying whatsoever. As long as it is a 3 or 4 year degree it should work. If you feel so bad about it have a fake degree and it should do the job. 90% of the foreigners who are on a working visa and teaching have not degree or are young enough not to be at the uni, they either work illegally on an F visa (patching the wound but not healing it) or they just buy an online degree and include it in the documents to process the visa. The immigration office doesn't require the original copy of your diploma therefore a photocopy would do.

What is a good company to work for in Seoul, South Korea teaching English as a second language
What is a good company to work for in Seoul, South Korea teaching English as a second language?
I am going to Seoul late this summer and am trying to get a TESL job. There are tons of private schools, and recuirters to go through. I am bombarded with information and not sure how to filter out the "bad school" "bad deals" ect. I am hoping to teach adults, and i hear that YBM is a good private institution to go though. I have already talked to recruiters from footprints and ESLpia. Any one know of any specific schools in Seoul that are reputable?

In these uncertain economic times, private schools can close up with little warning. Your safest bet is to take a public school job. Public schools don't close when the economy is at a low ebb.

You might just want to go for an ESL Academy School (after-school academies offering extra English studies). http://www.kumon.co.kr/ <-- Kumon is a very reputable ESL School. It has, in fact, reached from Korea to the US. There are at least one or two Kumons each town. Check out your local newspaper, or try this site: http://www.pusanweb.com/ Hope I answered your question *^^* Cheers!

You should go on dave's esl cafe and look under the korean jobs forum. There is a thread about contracts that you should take a look at before signing anything. Keep in mind that YBM is a franchise and is only as good as it's owner/management. Personally, I didn't like the contract they offered me. I went with SMOE instead. Not to say that SMOE is perfect. Many schools have the "when in Rome do as the Romans (i.e. Koreans) do" yet forget that we do not know the cultural rules that every Korean grows up knowing. I have a good situation. Some of my friends also have good situations. Far too many are having problems. Some are making due till their contracts are up and others are quitting. Keep in mind that SMOE, EPIK, and GEPIK have basic contracts for everyone who signs, but the schools have their own ideas and ways of doing things. There doesn't seem to be any set rules the schools have to follow when they get a teacher through these government offices. I'm afraid working in Korea as an ESL teacher is hit or miss. You'll either love it or hate it. I worked in China for five years and I loved it. Right now, I wonder why I left. The money is better, but the stress is so much higher than in China and the free time is so much less. I'm going to stay one more year to see if things will change. If they don't I'm going somewhere else. As for recruiters, most of my friends went through Footprints and were quite happy with them. I went through ASKNow and barely had my questions answered. When they were answered it certainly wasn't in a timely manner. Once I signed my contract with SMOE I got no additional info from them. I found out everything I needed to know for my departure from facebook where a group of SMOEers were exchanging info.
