_______________________________Description_____________________________
Korea is a very popular place to work abroad (typically teaching English.) These days it seems it’s getting more and more popular with things such as (KPOP, DRAMAS, MOVIES - PARASITE etc..)
I created this video because I also was in a weird place after graduating college wanting to travel the world but of course I was broke. So Korea was a little shimmering light that had a ton of working opportunities while at the same time being able to travel. So yes I came with the intention of staying for 6 months….which somehow turned into 6 years LOL.
I have experienced A LOT here as far as work/friendships/eating/drinking/culture/culture shock and a whole lot more so hopefully this video can be somewhat helpful for those also curious about working in Korea but need more insight.
Of course right now during the Covid-19 outbreak teaching abroad might not be an option. However when things get better get a head start and try it out.
____________________________HELPFUL LINKS__________________________
Here are some popular websites and programs I and others have used for work.
TALK - www.talk.go.kr...
This is an after school program (public schools) and actually the program I came to Korea
with. I had a great experience with it.
EPIK - www.epik.go.kr/...
This is one of the most popular programs also for (public schools)
Korean Horizons - www.koreanhori...
Kevin in the video used this and highly recommends it.
Dave’s ESL - www.eslcafe.co...
Best way to search for jobs in Korea. I used this site for every job.
_______________________________ Requirements __________________________
** Requirements totally depend on the school/program you are applying for. However here are the usual ones:
1. Bachelor’s degree / diploma (depending on the country you will have to get this apostilled.)
2. Sealed university transcript
3. Passport
4. Passport photos
5. National criminal background check
6. Employment contract from the recruiter/school
7. ** some jobs will require TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certification
Whatever you apply for the instructions will be clear on the website or from the recruiter

I love and appreciate your support but can all new supporters please comment relevant to the topic of this video? That would be the best and the most helpful to those who are thinking of coming here to work in Korea. =] Thank you again but let's keep the comments to the topic
Thank you so much for this HOPE, Dave. I supposed to go to Korea this May but yeah.... Again, thank you and stay safe ❤ love from Malaysia 💪

As an native Korean who is spend my whole life in here, I hope you(or soon to be an English teacher) don't feel that you are the alien or there is an glass ceiling in Korea. Cause we also feel the same way. Like, sometimes I don't fit in this society. I hope you guys stay curious and enjoy your life.
Hi teacher. I was one of the students in Bugil high school. Me and my friends really miss your class.... Be careful with the CORONA and we hope to see you when you come to Cheonan again :)
Is he Korean ?
I miss teaching you guys so much! And yes I am actually still in Cheonan =] Hope to see you again someday =]
천안북일고 !ㅡ!
Just curious, what does Bugil mean in Korean?
@@yovs2020 It's just a name of a high school.
In other words, it is not a common noun but a proper noun,
so there is no need to know it at all. ^^
I come from daud kim you'r very friendly keep going
Yeah
me 2
Yeah me toO
Samee 🤗
Mee too 🙋♀️
I am korean and used to be an art instructor at many hakwons for 11 years. I strongly agree with most of you talked about hakwon employers. Even Korean teachers/instructors are taken advantage by employers and exploited so bad. I was one who struggled with it then left the country.
DO RESEARCH to find the right one for you and be prepare not to get exploited. Not all the employers are bad, but just be careful.
There are many nice and fun Koreans you will meet. Good luck! 👍
Here from Daud kims channel...so very proud of u for trying fasting...must b really hard for u..really like ur positivity and energy for life...may Allah bless u tons...aameen.
I am here from daud Kim vlog and i just have to say that you did a really good job for fasting , I truly respect you from bottom of my heart and you earned that. Even as a non-Muslim you tried, I think that is a really big thing. And the thing is, you were willing to know several things like halal etc.
Yes, I think if he's curious he should ask him and do a separate video where daud teaches him about islam. I'm learning a lot from daud as well
Me Too
I am also here from daud ki vlog. Our all family members are so much love daud kim.
Who is here from seeing you fasting in daud channel
Me too

You guys are truly lucky. As native English speakers, u guys can apply jobs abroad easier than other non native speakers. I am korean and I try to live out of Korea but it is really really hard to get a visa. Firstly a language barrier. I know many Americans or British etc they are able to get jobs. English teachers guarantee fairly balanced life and reasonable wage and accommodation.
I came from dawod kim channel and i want to say There is one thing that David Kim did not tell you.
we Muslims fast Ramadan to feel the poor people and at the end of the month we give the poor people money and it is called (Zakat) which is the third pillar of Islam,i wish you the best in your life and with your RUclips channel 👍😊
If we fast to feel for the poor people, then why do poor people fast? I think this video with it's reason will help you understand better :) ruclips.net/video/dqEvZCXHPxM/видео.html
@@sheefum.4684
I know,There are so many reasons, but I cannot list all of them in this little comment.
@Muhammad Salim محمد السالم you have a right but not all of Muslims, the problem is with us and not in Islam. Islam taught us beautiful teachings, but we do not apply them in a correct way. In other words, Islam is perfect, but we as Muslims are not perfect.
I think descendants of Prophet Muhammad aren't allowed to receive the zakat, I'm not sure if it's just Bani Hassan & Bani Hussein or literally all of his descendants
came here from Daud fasting challenge it was fun to watch
Korea is absolutely beautiful. Always an amazing experience each time I go back!
It's such a cool place to be. I absolutely love it
Thank you for saying that my country is beautiful and has great work environment! Happy you guys are all loving the experiences
Feel a lot of this haha. It's my 5th year here and love it here. Your editing and video quality is so amazing as well! Dunno why your channel hasn't blown up yet
Awesome I'm glad you have had a great experience as well. Thanks!! And well I just need to keep creating I guess lol
Sadly, it's almost impossible to find a job without a college degree, but it's good that there is so much opportunity for English teachers.
This video is so helpful! I loved all the shots of Korea at the beginning 🥰 I ended up staying here longer than I expected too...
Thank you! And yes it happens to us all lol Almost like a trap. But still it's a wonderful place to be trapped in ;]
Hi, Ru working in korea?
Being born in a English native countries got such a privilege in many way. Other countries welcome you with open arms. I’m from small country in Southeast Asia. It’s impossible to get a job in Korea. I tried searching a yt video where people have the same situation as me but actually got a chance to work in Korea, but none.
Me too. I'm from sri lanka.and i just want to move s.k for a factory job
I come from Daud Kim Channel. You are a wonderful speaker. A good one. Positive vibes and open minded. Its really attractive and feels like want to hear you more.
Thank you! =]
I came here after watching you with daud Kim.... I respect you
Your videos are pretty good for someone who just started the channel. Really amazing
THank you Im trying haha
Yeah, do more collabs cause I found you from Daud's channel... even though I don't drink lol cause it's haram 😂 You have a fun presence in the videos so I stayed
한국인인데 이걸 보고있는 저는 뭐죱,,,하핳 많은 외국인 분들이 우리나라를 살기 좋게 봐주셔서뿌듯합니다♡
From Daud Kim challenge Ramadan
Love from Morocco 🇲🇦♥️🇰🇷
I also appreciate the effort you put in fasting together with Daud Kim. Everybody loves Daud Kim. In his shadow you will always shine and you have already started. Fasting let us feel how poor people feel. And it's also a rest for the body that helps detox
Great respect for all the teacher around the world
I'm currently learning Korean hahaha hopefully I can move to Korea
I was suggested this by a friend... and this is a really good positive exposure...
But since I am not in a conventional course... like teaching... so... yep... I've been doing research since I got into my undergrad(med school) need to update that!
You don’t need to major in teaching/education… I’m about to apply to teach in Korea and I was premed but that took my life down a dark path so I switched majors and just graduated with a degree and a happier mindset. My parents will not be happy I drop their dream of becoming a dr but I’m following my dream now and I want to be happy
@@13MusicequalsLife Good
Coming from Daud Kim's...May God bless you brother!
I'm here from Daud's vlog

From Daud's channel 🐼💞🐡your videos are very good. You deserve more subscribers
"It's easy to live and to get around." GOD how I really missed my 18months of grad school time there.
We took the leap to move to Korea to teach English and we're so glad we did. We have been super lucky to find an amazing school with great bosses. We even started our RUclips channel in our free time to share the amazing time we are having over here so others can check it out!

This was spot on. I really enjoyed hearing different perspectives!
I really liked the quality of this video as well and it must have been a beast to edit~
Why thank ya Ms. Micaela =] And yes I agree with all the different perspectives because let's be honest for some people who come here the range of experience is so different. I've met people that hated it and loved it. Oh yea editing was no fun at all lol especially since all of the interviews were 20-30 min long lol
@@DaveysCakes For suuure. It depends on the individuals, their background, perspective, etc. It's awesome that you decided to include a range. Keep it up and am excited to see more ^^
You and daud kim are really really good friends :)

I’m living in Korea this semester and I’m considering coming back here at some point after graduating college. It’s been a really good experience so far ^^
Came here from Daud's Video 😅
Me too.
Great video. It would be great to learn about prior English teachers who went off to finding other career paths in South Korea as well!
Thanks for this video Sir! Hoping to be there after this Covid.
Mashaallah may allah always help you and protect you . I hope one day you will coming right path . If you got a time please visit makkah and madina. Came from daud kim
Ameen
Aamiin..
Good to see Mr. Miller in this video. He was one of the best English teachers I've met in Korea
I've met some English teachers in Korea, but it's really hard to find who speak Korean of them, even they lived in Korea for years. They don't even try to learn it.
That's one of biggest reasons why you are just forigner.
A lot of Korean try to speak English for forigners, but if you don't understand Korean you'll never understand Korea.
Just think about it, in USA how they treat people who don't speak English
You have a great personality 👍🏻 Hopefully your channel will get much bigger
Thank you I hope so too =]
@@DaveysCakes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello dave I came across you after watching Daud kim's video and tbh you made the korean reaction on indian and pakistani actress 100%more funny and interesting! You are so humble and admirable a cute lil piece of cake .loads of love from India ❤
I've been in Korea and have lots of Korean friends but its hard to learn Korean for me but you speak Korean so fluent. Are you half Korean?
Hey, seems like you luv travelling, spicy food, and surving. Come to Indonesia, we have many beautiful places like Bali and Raja Ampat. You can surve till you drop. Saw you from Daud Kim's vlog.
Yes I love Indonesia! I traveled to Bali and UBUD and hope to go again soon =]
@@DaveysCakes awesome, can you share me the vlog?
It's good to see teachers are happy working in korea, usually salary always so low in other countries. Great video keep it up. ^^
I knew about your channel from Daud's and I like the content. Best of luck.

This video really helps me out about how can i find the way to have my dream job and yeah most importantly this video will help me out in researching about hagwons etc. Thanks mate you have my full support. I have my teaching youtube channel will probably share your content too. Prayers and support from Pakistan 😊 Hope to see you in korea soon 😉
Thank you I'm glad this helped out a bit. Good luck with everything and hope you can visit Korea someday!
Watch you fasting from Daud Kim channel. Bravo bro... u made it for 1 day fasting. I know how does it feel when you break yr fasting.. the food taste so delicious... If u hv time .. come visits Malaysia... it’s the food heaven capital.. Malay, Chinese, Indian & Western food... pick yr craving... and it’s cheap... the best is seafood.
I just saw your fasting video. You did a great job! Thanks for being so positive and charming. Hope to see you Pakistan soon! I’m already manifesting it lol. :D
It was indeed very informative😅 thank you!
Fun video mate! As a former full time ESL teacher for 4 years myself, I am enjoying your videos! Keep up your work brother-!
Came from daud Kim video. Stayed for the content.
Wish I could do what you do and travel to Korea!!!
Thank you :) I wish I could travel right now too :/
only jobs in other countries always seem to be teaching
Yeah I was hoping to see different professions. Lol
Nuff Respect to you for the Fast Challenge with brother Daud. I subbed to ur channel and really like your video style. I look forward to seeing more of your vids. May Allah shower you with blessings this Ramadan. Salam from Detroit Michigan
Awesom! I will post more in the future thanks for the support =]
🥺🥺 this video was really helpful thank you
You did really good job for fasting 1 day 👏👏👏
.
I'm not criticizing but its a fact that Its a privilege for a non asians go get a job in south korea, specially if their mother language is english they get the job right away as an english teacher. Me struggling to find a job there. 🥺😭 i really wanted to pursue my fashion in beauty industry but the competition wasn't easy.
With English background, Becoming a English teacher in Korea is kinda easy life.
This is the first video that really encourage me to go to korea...
wow this video is so cool, thank you for making this video, and giving so much useful informations, it's really inspiring me to go there :D
Hey , I have seen a video for you when you fasted with Daud it was an amazing experience , big love from the place where Arabic language was born ofcourse it's Saudia Arabia ❤
Your new subscriber is here!
Came from Daud Kim channel..you were so cool to complete that fasting challenge!
Money remains my biggest barrier!
I wouldn't miss a similar opportunity just because of that, but there is the fact that I am from Morocco, so no matter how good my English and Korean are, I can hardly find a program that will take me. I'm also 20yo and I've never majored in English, so there is that!
But I really appreciate this video, it was quite informative and it made me weirdly excited for the idea again after losing all hope.
MashaAllah may Allah guide you soon happy to see you fasting
thank you 😊❤️ stay peace
Came here from Daud Kim fasting challenge, you did good
I don't know why but I have this feeling that your channel will grow real soon. You are very good at what you do.
thank you that’s so nice of u to say :) And I hope you are right :)
كانت تجربتك جميلة مع داوود كيم والصيام 🌹 تحياتي 🌹
wow the editing to this video is unreal😦 👍🏼
Thank you! I try haha ;]
I am working on finishing my Masters in Information Technology in hopes to move to South Korea when I am done. Maybe try it out for a year so get a paid internship, teach, or something. I love the culture and currently learning the language as well.
i cam from daud kim ramadan challenge :) i like you channel 💜✨ keep going!
Korea is awesome and Indonesia too 😍
And davey is great teacher, funny teacher and what else??? Speechless😂😂 you are awesome
came from daud channel, your editing and camera is really good pro quality.
It was so helpful! Thanks a lot! 😍
well im not the only who came watch, subscribe and support this channel from daud's channel.
the only one*
Thank u for the impressions of this incredible country🙌🏽
absolutely! :)
i saw your video trying to fast for the first time... i didn't know you have this amazing channel 😁
Native speakers from US, UK, Australia, Canada, NZ and South Africa could easily find employment as English teacher in South Korea. However, I think that being a native speaker doesn’t mean you’re a great teacher. Teaching is a skill, a talent and a noble profession. As a noble profession, it involves the passion to inspire and mentor your students to become a better version of themselves. Teaching also entails creativity and grit to making learning more interesting to learners. Not everyone can effectively teach a lesson. I just hope South Korean schools will revise qualifications and give chance to non native speakers, but are effective English teachers. Qualifications should be based from one’s ability to effectively deliver a lesson and not from one’s race. 😊
Glad to follow you buddy
I came from daud kim it was great meeting between you
Stay safe
Wish you all the best
Greetings from Morocco
Thank you so much for this! I have been considering working in SK for a while but I have been a bit skeptical. Hearing about people's various experiences definitely puts things into perspective. I love how you instructed the interviews by the way. Good luck!
Thank you I appreciate it. And yes getting multiple point of views is the best because everybody has a completely different experience some good some bad it’s up to the personality of the individual, how open one is to face new foreign differences, culture etc..and of course the job they have. But all in all from the majority of people it’s a positive experience :)
This vid is helpful 😊 thank you for sharing.
bravo! it's good information dave, and i hope more like this one? maybe. I'll be waiting for the next video
awesome thank ya!
