Teaching in Korea: Contracts

Recently a subscriber from YouTube contacted me and asked me to take a look at the ESL contract offered from a school. Normally, I wouldnt take a second look at such a personal matter, but seeing as how this has been a long-time subscriber and commenter, I thought Id offer up some help and Im glad I did, since the contract raised many red flags. Please let me be clear that the following are my own personal opinions and reflect the way I do business and your situation and beliefs may be different. With that in mind, lets take a look at four (4) key areas of the contract. First, the contract wanted this person to come to Korea one week prior to starting the position so that they could process the E-2 work visa. This was a massive red flag because it indicates the school is either shady or doesnt know how the visa process works. At this time, all new E-2 Visa applicants must be interviewed by the Korean Consulate in their home country before a visa is granted. Asking someone to come to Korea without a visa, is simply illegal. In the old days, one could simply go to Japan and get the visa there, but thats no longer the case for new teachers.

November 30, 1998 www.amazon.com Watch the full lecture: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com The Fast track negotiating authority (also called Trade Promotion Authority, TPA) for trade agreements is the authority of the President of the United States to negotiate agreements that the Congress can approve or disapprove but cannot amend or filibuster.

It expired at midnight on July 1, 2007. Congress enacted fast track in the Trade Act of 1974. Pursuant to that grant of authority, Congress then enacted implementing legislation for the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, the United States-Israel Free Trade Area, the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). The authority then expired in 1994. Presidential candidate George W. Bush made fast track an integral part of his campaign platform in 2000. In May 2001, as president he made a key speech about the critical importance of free trade at the annual Council of the Americas in New York, founded by David Rockefeller and other senior US businessmen in 1965. Subsequently, the Council played an integral role in the implementtion and securing of TPA through Congress.
