I have decided to write a series of blogs for people who are interested in working in Korea. I am posting them all at once so sorry if you get a lot of emails from me today. If you are interested in working in Korea or have questions please ask me.
Qualifications:
You must be from an English speaking country and have been taught in English in high school and college (some employers will require elementary school too).
This only includes USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Have a clean criminal background check
To work in Korea you must have a B.A./ B.S. from an accredited 4 year college. It does not matter what your degree is in. My degree is in Communication and Chris has a degree in History.
You can get better pay and better jobs if you have one or more of the following but they are not necessary:
Teaching Experience (My 15 years of teaching Sunday school got me in the door)
A Masters degree (Chris has one of these which looks good on his resume and got him a higher salary at his first job, even though his Masters Degree is in Military History. They don’t care as long as you have one. He didn’t have experience teaching but they didn’t mind.)
A teaching degree
A degree in English: or other related fields
A TESLO / CELTA certificate: These are programs that you can complete if you want to learn how to teach English in a foreign language.
Thats it! Just three simple things.
