                                                            Option to Send Documents Before Job is confirmed    

                                                            ·      Normally we don't ask teachers to send any documents before we have the jobs 100% confirmed, but right now we're having more calls than ever, from schools who are only concerned with ASAP teachers. This means the teacher starts as soon as their E2 visa is done.  Schools often ask two questions of us: 1) Are the documents already in Korea?; and 2) When can the teacher start? 

                                                            ·      Many recruiting companies will not start job-hunting for you until you send them your documents, which we don’t agree with.  We think it is important to give you the choice. Please know we will hold your documents 100% safe, and you will be given full right to confirm or deny a school before we submit your documents to a school. If you change your mind, or find a job with someone else, we will forward your documents wherever you'd like.

                                                            ·      Another reason to send documents ahead is that some schools are in need of a teacher as soon as possible and trust our opinion when we recommend a teacher (combined with your application, resume, referral from school, etc).

                                                            ·      If this works for you, please let your Teacher Representative know, and s/he will introduce you to Aggie, who is our E2 Visa Representative for all teachers. She will provide you will full, detailed instructions on what to send, as well as for the rest of the E2 visa process.
