IT Job - PostGraduate Degree but no Undergraduate

Submitted by on

Hello everyone,

my name is Filippo and I am an IT Consultant working in Prague, the Czech Republic, but originally from Italy.

Just to be short:
I have 5/6 years of experience in big enterprises, I speak English and Italian and I am a beginner in Korean.
I have the following certifications: Cisco CCENT, CCNA, CCDA, ITIL, HP Technical certified and I have a PostGraduate Diploma in Advanced Networking from an UK University.

My main problem is that I do not have a Bachelor Degree.

F3 Visa with hopes to work

Submitted by on

This is partly question and partly venting.

I'm with F3 visa i.e spousal visa. I understand that with this visa, one CANNOT work at all (now I know). Its quite frustrating because job posts that mention looking for F visa make it as if though ALL F visas are ok. Its pointless that we have that code at all. Then, employers rather people with no visa to begin with or already with the right ones.  If I need to change visa, I need to have an appointment letter first. Its a mad cycle for us F3 visas.

Many people think they know their rights here, eg whether you can teach privately, whether your boss can tax you, make weird deductions , punish, penalize, fire you, etc, etc.

 

The site below has the laws, try to get aquainted with laws.

Try to find out your job title, pay, tax,Codes of conduct, ect,etc- it's important to know if the Korean version of your contract is the same.

Non-ESL Jobs

Submitted by on

Hey all,

I'm getting sick of teaching English for those understandable reasons. I want to keep working here though and I find something else to do. I've found my first job off Dave's ESL Cafeand then just used my recruiter  for new gigs. Dave's doesn't post anything but ESL stuff.  What else is out there? Is it even possible to get something non-ESL related? Do I need to get married to a Korean?

 

 

Moving and working in Korea, a few questions

Submitted by on

So my girlfriend is living in Korea, and I recently visited. I would love to be closer to her while she's teaching and let her feel flexible on when she comes home. I don't have many ties in the states, a little bit of debt I can take care of easily but other than that, nothing serious. In fact, I'd love the opportunity to be there for a while, be it a couple of months or a year.
