Things to Consider before Applying.
Living and working in South Korea can be
one of the best experiences life has to offer.
However, there are certain things that you should personally consider before making that commitment.
The following are some suggestions that should help you determine if living and working in South Korea is right for you.
Be prepared to commit yourself to a full year in Korea
A yearlong contract is a sizable amount of time
in anyone’s life. All teaching contracts are for one calendar year.
Consider all your personal obligations both financially and to family and friends.
South Korea leads the world in cheap and reliable internet and tele-communications so staying
in touch is very easy. However, if you find that you are too homesick or don’t want to miss family events
this may be very difficult for you. While you have quite a bit of paid vacation time off heading all the way
home often is quite unrealistic.
