Is it possible for foreigners to find work in south korea and across asia


Is it possible for foreigners to find work in south korea and across asia.?
Do you think that there are companies and organizations in South Korea that hire foreigners. For example, a foreigner (of Asian origins) who double-majored in Linguistics and East Asian Studies and who can speak up to 5 languages - English, French, Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean. To start, I know that I must set foot there - so I am specifically aiming to become an English teacher as a starting point. Then perhaps, I should shop around for jobs. I want to work across Asia, especially in the Entertainment industry.

There are some shows that feature foreign actors. I think it's Surprise or something, but I'm not really sure about the name. It's Korean.

Translators between countries are very needed in Korea because interaction between countries are becoming mandatory. Many foreigners became popular through StarKing. (wikipedia: starking) If you go on Youtube and search Starking, you'll be able to notice that majority of the contestants are foreigners.

Yes there are organizations that will hire foreigners. They aren't all closed off the foreigners working there you know. I would suggest finding an organization in America that can help get you started in Asia. They can contact over there & help find you a job. Or go to some of the schools around in Asia & talk to the people there & ask what they are looking for. There is competition because many people are wanting to teach English there nowadays. So it may be a bit tough to find a job there. But don't give up. You will get a job.
