How to work in korea?

Travel Tips
It sounds like you are from a non-native English speaking country. Your best option is to join a work program in your country for Korea. If you are from the middle East it's easy to get a job working in a Korean factory, or if you are a highly qualified engineer or professional businessman, you can apply to a large firm or company in Korea. You of course, first have to qualify for a visa, pass various physical and aptitude tests, as well as a criminal background check.

Go to your local Korean Consulate in your country for more information. I'm sorry I can't help you more, next time let us know which country you are coming from, it can make a big difference.

You have to list some specifics..are you going to live there? or is it for a short period of time? what is your area of expertise? can you speak Korean at all?We could answer your question better if we knew some things about you...
Depends. What do you want to do? I work in Korea teaching English. As long as you have a college degree, passport and aren't a serial killer it's pretty easy to get a job teaching.

There are a bunch of websites you can check out including Dave's ESL Cafe which is probably the best one. They have job listings and forums for discussing the move/job etc.

Before you start looking for a job I suggest you do some research. There are a ton of jobs, some are terrible, some are great. I love my job and I love living in Korea, but a lot of the people I know hate it.

I would suggest using a good recruiter like http://www.footprintsrecruiting.com/inde...

If you're looking for a non-teaching job I don't know what to tell you.
Work hard!
You need a D-8 Visa/Alien registration card to work legally in outh Korea. This will be impossible to get without an employer sponsoring you.
Teaching english is probably the easiest entry-level job here.
The pay and working/living conditions will depend on your qualifications/native-speaking ability and even your accent.
The very top of teaching possiilities would be a school like Seoul Foreign School, a school for Ex-pats children. This would take a strong background in teaching internationally as well as a Christian faith. They do, however, provide wonderful, on-campus apartment and good pay/benefits.
They recruit in the early winter.
If you are less-qualified, there are a lot of "hagwons", always looking for english speaking teachers. Korean-speaking is not necessary.
Tell you what. Korean are workholics... They spend their whole k-12 life in competition. Most of people are highly educated. But there are a lot of unemployment rates because most of they are educated and they don't want blue collar job.
