An interview with the Korean Consulate or Embassy... sounds daunting... it's not.
The only difficult thing is if you don't live in the city where the Korean Consulate is located you have to find some way of getting there. This can be problematic but work with your Placement Coordinator with Footprints. They are magicians at logistics and they can usually sort you out pretty good to save time and money.
Our motto is be prepared. There are some consulates who don't take this very seriously at all. Expect questions like:
- Why do you want to teach in Korea?
- Have you ever had a criminal record?
- Have you ever done drugs?
- What is your degree in? Why did you get that degree?
- How do you think you will be a good teacher?

“I'd like to start off by saying that my choice to teach abroad in Korea was one I know I will never regret! Footprints made it very easy to communicate with the school regarding details of where I'd be living and what I'd be teaching as well as taking care of my flight information. At the airport the morning we left, my boyfriend and I encountered overweight bags and extremely long lines at security, and we missed our flight by literally one minute. As we watched our plane pull from the gate, we just about lost our minds and any hope that we'd make the long journey we'd been planning for so long. We made one simple phone call to the travel agent, Claus, that Footprints set us up with. It was 6AM where he was on a Monday morning when we called in a panic. He said, "Stay by your phone," and we knew that he would fix this fiasco for us. Luckily, while Claus was searching for a solution, a woman from United Airlines was able to book us on another flight so that we would make our connection out of the U.S. to Seoul. We would like to thank Claus and Laina at Footprints for all their help in getting us to Korea!
