I got my B.S. in engineering last year and I want to move to South Korea>no work experience>can't speak Korean>no TEFL cert. and would prefer not to teach English>haven't applied for a visa yet and might need sponsorshipWhat are my options for getting there and staying long-term?
>>2645686It’s not happening. The only way for white losers to scamper into those countries is via TEFL or they’re some remote coding dorker. It suits most fine, despite the squawking about how they have to work at night because they wouldn’t be doing cool things at night anyway
>>2645686get into a graduate programme with a korean company branch in your home countryhyundai heavy industries, doosan or samsung would be good choicesonce you are inside the company make sure you tell everyone how much you love korealook out for secondments/postings to korea on the internal jobs board
>>2645686>want to move to South KoreaThe question you should ask is: Why would a Korean firm want to employ me, and pay a premium because I cost more to import into the country (visas, permits, etc.)?If you cannot answer the question, then you have your answer whether you want to admit it or not. Daily reminder degrees are dime a dozen, and not worth the paper they're printed on (ironically, I'm a newly hired tenure-track prof)
>>2645686Start networking and pick up some basic language stuff, doesn't need to be "fluent in a week" but even a little shows people you cared enough to look it up.
Go as a student to Korean language school, find some students at companies for business English, eventually become a translator and billingual employee at the company.Actually just give up, they don't need you nor want you and you have nothing to offer. A bachelors in engineering? They have thousands of them who speak Korean natively and fluent English.
