Application Process

If you meet the required criteria and are interested in teaching English here at Woosong in South Korea, please send a copy of your CV and Cover Letter, scans of your highest degree diploma and transcript, scan of the information and signature pages of your passport, ensuring your passport is signed, passport photo and information page, and Korean Residence Card (ARC) if you possess one, to hiring@wsu.ac.kr.  

Submit all documents as PDF files.  Each document should be in a separate file:  one of the resume, one for the passport scan, one of each degree.  As the subject of your email, please write your name, highest degree, and years of teaching experience. We can then keep your resume on file for when we begin hiring. Please make sure you meet the minimum job requirements before applying for a position at Woosong.

Important Notes

1) Woosong University will also require further documents later, if you pass the initial screening process. These include a federal criminal background check (or your country’s equivalent), scans of all degree diplomas and transcripts, and the original copy of your highest degree earned, scans of verification of employment documents (in Korean these documents are called 재직증명서 for a current job or 경력증명서 for a previous job), and passport-sized photograph taken against a white background. Note that in some countries a federal background check can take up to twelve weeks to be issued. The background check must be issued within six months of the date of visa application.  

2) If this is your first visa for Republic of Korea, you may be asked to do an interview at an embassy in your home country. 

3) Visa transfers from another employer in Korea require a letter of release from one’s current Korean employer. Transfers can be done up to the date of visa expiration. Failure to provide the relevant paperwork in a timely manner may be grounds to cease the application process. Check out our FAQs for all the required documents.
