Skyped with current (western) teachers who told me everything I needed to know and asked straightforward questions, very relaxed, got confirmation within a couple days. It took a couple months to get the background check and visa and then I flew over and was reimbursed for airfare on arrival. Hospital visit with a drug test on arrival as well. Pay a courier to save you time on the background check.

The interview was over the phone, and very casual. The employer asked me about my past experience in educating children and what I learned from it. He then went on to ask about my personal life and goals, and what I do on my downtime, and why I want to come to Korea.
