Footprints Recruiting

Hi, i have heard about ESL teaching jobs from a couple people at my school and i just had some questions about it. First off, i will be receiving my BA in 2011, but my girlfriend does not have a college degree. she is going to cosmetology school, but im sure that doesn't count. I would like to teach in Korea because my girlfriend was born there and has family there. Will we be able to get a place together and will we have to pay any extra for her being there.Also will she be able to work there to make some extra money(not teaching)? I just want to make sure that my pay will be able to cover both of us if she is not able to work. Thanks for your help

Hello Trevor,

Thank you for your email. When you have completed your degree and have graduated, we can certainly assist you in applying to the schools.

However, we can not assist your girlfriend unless she has a Bachelor's degree. This is a visa regulation and often a stipulation of our agreements with the schools and their hiring policies.

All is not lost though, as your girlfriend may be able to secure and F4 visa, which is granted to people of Korean heritage. She would be able to travel to South Korea, live and work there without issue, as that visa gives her nearly all the rights of a Korean citizen. She would be able to find work directly with the schools.
