I'm the biggest Planet People stan🤪😂 y'all should use them for a hagwon job. They're really fast and friendly

[@michellendlovu5199]

Thank you so much for this. I just got rejected by EPIK and I thought I would have to look into other countries which I don't want to teach in, but knowing there are options is great. Thank you for the tip that I need to have my documents ready first. I am waiting for my PCC, SAQA verification letter then DIRCO both and I am also only completing my PGCE end of this year and waiting for my SACE renewal. So with a lot pending, your advice makes sense that no business would take me on but I will definitely be a great potential with all those things done.

[@AnnahPokubye]

So informative!!! This will help so many people!! For those looking to go through Talk, please note this program has been cancelled. You now only have EPIK (EPIK no longer has their little babies 😂) to apply to the government public School 😋

[@golethabom]

Oh really,Thank you for making me aware hun.I saw a while back someone saying they are coming through the Talk program,like early this year.. Let me ask again..💞

[@thobileyaliwemnguni7142]

Thank you for the plug. So how much did you spend/save before going, even when you get there... did you pay for your own flight or they did everything for you?

[@roykent5594]

I feel the documents are so important but rarely are they covered with detail! I don't know what documents other than a background check. Pcc is what exactly? Thanks for the video

[@golethabom]

A PCC is a Police Clearance Certificate.

[@enhlesibiya678]

Thanks for the information girl 💞 When do you suggest the right time to start collecting documents as they are mostly valid for three months

[@golethabom]

6 months before your expected time departure should be enough

[@zinhlemaseko7663]

I didn’t know that GoldKey assists with Hagwon applications 🤭

[@golethabom]

Yeap they do😊Also with other teaching programs. They are a big agency

[@ruthjoseph8381]

Hey Lover, informative video. Thank you. Do you by any chance know if they can hire Batswana since we are classified as NNE? I have a BACHELOR Degree and a TEFL certificate.

Sorry hun my bad,TaLK has been discontinued

[@keikantsengledwaba297]

[@kgomotsohlaka7755]

Thank you so much for the info. Regarding vaccinations, do I need to produce a certificate or a negative covid test is sufficient???

[@golethabom]

Not as far as I know,you don’t need to provide either..

[@nonkululekongiba]

Thank you so much for the informative video🙏may I please ask if i have a degree, do I have to also complete the i-to-i tefl certificate? Or it is compulsory to have it?

[@golethabom]

It’s not compulsory to have it,you are just more likely to be considered with a TEFL certificate. If you are in possession of a BEd you don’t have to do it.

[@samkem2507]

This video is so informative thank you so much. If you don't mind me asking did you go to south Korea during the pandemic and if you did, did you pay for quarantine.

[@golethabom]

No hun,I didn’t pay for quarantine & I came in November 2021.. A lot has changed since then though

[@LilAandLilT]

Did you need to be vaccinated to be able to teach in SK

[@knowledgemxhalisa4739]

Very informative. If I may ask what recruiter did you use?

[@unathimajova9735]

Evening, my original degree certificate is laminated. do they require a laminated certificate at dirco or chinese embasy? there are rumours that they do not need a laminated certificate. please assist.

[@golethabom]

That shouldn’t be a problem,you only need to send a scan to SAQA for verification

[@leahsayers]

Thank you so much for this. I've been trying to decided between EPIK and Gone2Korea. The reason I don't really wanna go with Epik is because I can't choose which city I will go to and I don't wanna be in a foreign country away from my friends so is Gone2Korea good?? Or should I take chances with Epik??

[@golethabom]

Hey,I’m not sure if I understand well. I think what you are asking is if you should go with EPIK (public schools) or private school (hagwons)? I believe Gone2Korea is a recruitment agency recruiting for hagwons. It honestly depends what you value more. The ability of being able to choose your preferred location,with most probably a higher salary,but also more work & very little vacation days. (hagwon) Or a more relaxed work environment with less salary and more vacation days.(EPIK)

[@cosynightzversatileproduce5716]

Hey thanks for the info this was informative ❤️,if English is my first additional language not my home language can I still apply?

[@golethabom]

Yes you can still apply for private academies/hagwons.

[@nanayaatwumasi5579]

@@golethabom which site ? Because it’s eligible to only 7 countries people from Zimbabwe don’t even qualify

[@allbyhisgrace8925]

@@nanayaatwumasi5579 these jobs only consider South Africa in the whole of Africa as an English speaking country to offer the jobs .Unfortunate but true.

I have Advanced Diploma in Internal Auditing. Am I eligible to apply

[@golethabom]

Yes you can,please check out Palesa Jonas YT channel for more details,she made a video about that not so long ago

[@danielkguto8922]

Hey, how long does the process take ? If I start today with it, do you think I can get a contract this year ? When is their intake ?

[@Salma-xl4ns]

Thank you so much for info! What if you got uncomfortable or saw that this employment is not right gor you can I simply withdraw and leave after a month or two or three!

[@golethabom]

You can quit the job if you do not like it, just make sure that it is clearly stated in your contract what happens when you resign.

[@oliviamagaya5079]

Hello pretty lady. I have a question. Say you signed a 12 month contract. What happens when it's over. Do you pack your bags and go back to SA? Are there any opportunities to find another job there? Or even in another country. If yes, do you have to go through the same process regarding documentation, can you complete this process in another country or does it have to be in your country of birth?

[@golethabom]

Hey hun,so usually before the end of your contract your school would ask you if you would like to stay again for one more year..if you choose not to stay,you can look for a different school to sponsor your visa at the end of your 1 year contract. Or you can prepare documents for your move to a different country,for this you don’t have to be in your home country.

[@Ty-jc3ic]

❤

[@Khutso_mara]

What’s mostly preferred? Public or private?

[@golethabom]

Depends on each individual,the safest option would be public

[@SavedByJesus2022]

How much did it cost to legalize your documents at Dirco?

[@golethabom]

It’s free hun.🙂

[@gospelinfluence]

Hello sisi…. I create content for SA youth (especially for the unemployed youth and unemployed graduates)… can i use your platform as one of their-go-to?

[@victormirror4796]

How can I contact you inquires

[@SimplyAbby01]

Quick question... Did the recruiter/agency not require a medical check before you were placed at the school?

[@golethabom]

No,just a health check that you can fill in by yourself.

[@theshadysunshine]

Yoh I've never been so angry! i just had a conversation with a recruiter from Korean Horizon. He was so rude and condescending. I've never.

[@thulanimsomi4054]

Is it advisable to use Afiswitch for finger prints since it’s way quicker than SAPS?

[@golethabom]

They only accept the ones done by SAPS..

[@mogakenchabeleng3342]

Hello, my highest qualification is honours so when getting SAQA approval do I use my highest qualification or the degrees

[@golethabom]

Yes you do,it’s best to use your highest qualification.

[@zama_lehottie4596]

I’m interested to work in Korea but want to come with my two kids . Which agency/ program do u recommend?

[@golethabom]

I wouldn't recommend coming to Korea as a family of three. The cost of living is very high here.

[@DoubleChanceTreble]

Hi new to your channel. One ? Whats PCC? Also how is your salary paid? Do you have to open an account in korea?

[@golethabom]

A police clearance certificate

What documents are needed pls mention

[@thatomokgwasa4074]

Do you have to do the PPC every year does it expire ?

[@golethabom]

It expires after 6 months,it must still be valid when you send it to SK

[@mashototshoga49]

Hello, I trust you are well. Quick question; did you pay your recruitment agency to place you and all?

[@golethabom]

Nope,you don’t have to pay anything at all.

[@LilAandLilT]

Which schools pay more? Public or private schools?

[@golethabom]

Private schools tend to pay a higher salary but public schools are a safer option for a first time teacher.

[@LilAandLilT]

@golethabom Thanks for your response! So its basically the opposite of South Africa 😊

[@noziphojele6400]

Any educational consultants if I wanna study in Korea?

[@cheerykyleemerson0408]
