When to apply


	Private language institutions, such as Hagwons, accept hundreds of teacher applications every month of the year. Korean public schools hire a majority of foreign teachers before the start of each semester (March and September). However, Provincial Office of Educations that were unable to find a suitable candidate for these dates continue to accept applications during the other months of the year. For September public school semester for example, application documents should arrive in Korea by the end of May. Ideally, submitting an application to I Love ESL Ltd. 3-9 months prior to when you want to depart is best. This should allow the necessary time required to complete the placement process. Since the good jobs always go first, 7-9 month earlier is recommended if your choice is the public school job.
