Right now, life is filled with two basic things: Paperwork and Dunn Bros Coffee. When I'm not barista-ing it up at DBC, I'm doing one task or another that is all building up to couriering all of my paperwork to Korea in order to get my official contract for my visa.
Once I've got my hard-copy contract, it's off to Chicago (where the nearest South Korean embassy is) to file everything for my E-2 visa. And then, in a few weeks, with visa in hand, I am off to Ulsan by August 25th.
I am navigating all of this with the help of a couple recruiting agencies. I started out with Pegasus recruiting, which I encountered at the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities job fair. Once I interviewed with them, my application was sent to the Ministry of Education in Korea and I was referred to work with Footprints Recruiting- a buddy to Pegasus. Since then, I have been coordinating all of this with Footprints, and they have been über helpful.
That's about all the news for now... some Ulsan pics follow. Enjoy.
Kick ass. That'll be such an amazing life experience - I'm sure you'll make the most of it. Sounds like you're excited, anyhow. :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and take my word for it - living in a foreign country is not nearly as scary as it's made out to be :-) I mean, I made it through alright, haha.
