A Few Things Every Applicant Should Know
- During
this stage of the process, your file is viewable by our GEPIK public schools. While
viewing your file, they can see your basic information (name, age, country of
citizenship and earliest start date), as well your picture and resume.
- Should a school be interested in you, they will request an interview – please schedule carefully, noting the time difference and be sure to keep your appointment. Contact your TR and SR immediately if something keeps you from the interview.
- Normally, it will be Scott, (ezmatch@hanmail.net) our GEPIK partner who will be in contact with you regarding possible opportunities. Usually the initial contact is by email, but sometimes Scott will call you directly so please answer any incoming calls during this time.
- All emails should be sent to both your TR and Scott.
- You will not likely have a multitude of offers coming at you. The job market in Korea is presently VERY competitive, and schools have the chance to be as picky as they want. While we don’t want you to blindly accept just any position, we are not able to market a picky teacher.
- Try to have your questions ready from the start – All GEPIK schools use the same contract, pay scale, and job description, so most questions can be answered by your Teacher Rep in advance.
- Please review the Interview Tips on our website well before your interview.
- Interviews for North American teachers are almost always at 11am KST (which is evening time here).
- Interviews for European teachers are at around 3 or 4pm KST (which is early morning for European countries).
- Interviews for Australia and New Zealand will depend on when it works for the school, as they are pretty much in the same time zones.
- Following an interview, a job offer can follow very soon. Schools expect an answer within 24-48 hours, so please keep that in mind and make your decision as quickly as possible.
- If you accept, send an email to your TR & Scott to confirm. You will need to sign the contract immediately, scan it and email it to your TR and SR.
- Your TR will then introduce you to the rest of the TEK team, including Aggie (VR – Visa Rep). Packing tips, what to expect when you land in Korea, connection to teachers in your area all to follow.
