Why choose Gone2Korea?

Gone2Korea was created in 2006 between a small group of friends who were teaching English in the city of Gumi. We’ve grown a lot since then! Today Gone2Korea is a leading recruitment and job placement agency for adventurous grads who are interested in teaching English in South Korea.

As your recruiter, our top priorities include:

a) Flooding you with an abundance of information & resources
b) Listening to your preferences & offering realistic advice
c) Matching you with a Korean employer
d) Getting you prepared

Oh ya, we’ll be answering all your questions along the way…we know you’ll have a lot of them

Ultimately, we’re with you through each step of the process. Job details, visa numbers, consulate forms, airfare details & everything in-between comes directly from us. We try to make things as seamless & stress free as possible for all our teachers.

The process of finding a teaching job abroad, and moving all the way across the world is a bit overwhelming when you are first seeking out information and browsing your options. Starting the process can feel simultaneously like information overload, yet also like you still know nothing about how to go about it. This feeling can definitely be a deterrent from moving forward in your search, but that is why finding a program that knows what they are doing and can help you is so wonderful!
Go Overseas made the process of applying to jobs and landing one much less stressful. I felt supported, and received fast responses to my questions throughout the process. The process of getting my job (which I love!), would not have been nearly as smooth and uncomplicated without Go Overseas. Thank you Go Overseas!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

As simple as it sounds, be open minded! There are going to be moments of culture shock, and perhaps frustration along with said culture shock, that might leave you feeling isolate, peeved or just uncomfortable. That's totally expected, but don't let those moments define your experience! I won't tell you to assimilate to the culture fully, but adapt, get to know the culture a bit more personally - make friends, do some research, get out of your accommodation and explore! As fun as traveling and living abroad is, it is also very challenging, so keep that in mind, but don't let it deter you! Some of the best memories are just waiting to be made if you seek them out!

Pros

Community
Adventure
Personal Growth

Cons

Homesickness
Adjustment Period to New Life

I have to say, this whole experience felt a bit daunting to begin with but honestly with their help, it made the journey a lot easier.
They would always reply to my emails so quickly and to answer all my enquiries or concerns I had.They most importantly helped me find the School that suited me best so I am eternally greatful.
I would definitely recommend anyone use this recruitment agency. They really want to get to know you first so they can find the perfect fit for you which I think is so important.

Pros

Efficient
Helpful
Kind

Cons

None

This recruiting agency made sure I got exactly what I wanted when finding a job abroad. I had extra issues with paperwork and my documents, and I received daily guidance to fix everything I needed to land the job I wanted. When two other recruiting agencies (before this program) told me that I was not going to be to land a job in the area I wanted, I knew I made a great choice here when I had multiple job offers that coincided with exactly what I asked for. I never felt completely on my own or misguided, and the agency was helpful all the way through booking my flight and accommodation prior to the start of my work.

Take the chance if you are curious about it. The experience has become everything I hope it could be and more.

Pros

Fast replies
Answers to everything
Careful guidance

Cons

Nothing

I used Gone2Korea as a recruiter to move to Seoul, South Korea. They were incredibly helpful (replying to emails quickly, answering all my questions).
Ensure you do your own research into the schools you are offered too. It does feel a bit like a leap into the dark because you won't see the school before you go, so make sure you ask specific questions in your interview & to the foreign teacher they put you in touch with.

Also note that it will be hard work! Some classes are a challenge behaviour-wise so the job won't always be smooth sailing!
