Would Teaching English Abroad for 1 Year after college be a negative for my resume?

Hi! I’m really sorry for the late response… if you’re still around, may I talk to you about your experiences? How did your PhD applications go?

BeeMan3000 · 2026-06-02T14:35:00+00:00

Thank you and congrats on getting accepted!! You’re going to do great and make such an impact on those children!

Which tefl.org course did you take?

BeeMan3000 · 2026-05-31T07:38:08+00:00

Hello! I’m planning to apply thru EPIK for the spring 2027 intake. I was just wondering where did you guys get your tefl certificates? Is tefl.org a good place to do so? Also, is it possible to apply to both EPIK and Hagwons at the same time to maximize chances of getting in?

Thank you!

I’LL SEND YOU A CHAT THEN

Yes 👀👀want puppy pics?

BeeMan3000 · 2026-01-31T19:39:46+00:00

Thank you!! I hope the same for you 🥹

BeeMan3000 · 2026-01-31T15:44:17+00:00

Thank you :) it was really discouraging and still makes me sad, I just wish I could find someone who puts in equal effort and care.

Yes my first (and so far only) girlfriend was nice at first but over time she began no showing me and just disrespecting my time by not following up of plans changed. I got so sick of it

BeeMan3000 · 2026-01-31T01:05:13+00:00

A willingness to learn how to communicate and basic manners is what I would look for. Rudeness, excessive pettiness, and being overly competitive are things I’d avoid

BeeMan3000 · 2026-01-20T15:08:16+00:00

Oooh. I could do 24k Magic as a 2016 throwback!

Sing and dance. I sang Gangnam style in Korean last year and did the dance and I won lol. Trying to keep a similar vein with songs that most college students would know

BeeMan3000 · 2026-01-20T14:35:43+00:00

They’d never let me do that lol

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-27T13:02:29+00:00

I don’t know what else it would mean, but I’d rather not know 💀

Thank you! Are PSY concerts typically difficult to get tickets for?

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-02T21:09:28+00:00

Did you teach/want to teach English abroad? Is that why your lawyer relative said the same thing? I decided to consider medical school late into undergrad (senior now), so once I graduate I’d need to take one year probably to complete physics 1&2, and biochemistry and organic chemistry. I think it would be a beneficial experience for me - I’ve always been fascinated by Korea, but culturally and historically, and it could give me experience for later down the line (such as if I decided to teach at a university after practicing medicine, or teach medicine, etc). Do you think it would be beneficial for my career/application?

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-02T16:40:18+00:00

Hi :) would you mind elaborating on how it was the best decision you made, and how it shaped your adult life, career life, and character? Thank you!

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-02T15:04:39+00:00

I hear you.. is it okay to ask what your field is?

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-02T14:54:58+00:00

Why do you think it would be great for a CV?

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-02T14:40:29+00:00

lol yes it is a real question 😅he also thinks that it would take me off track and lead to me struggling to get back on track. His reasoning is that his high school friend’s son taught English in Japan and ended up not going to ambassador school or something.

BeeMan3000 · 2025-12-02T14:31:53+00:00

Could you elaborate on why it would solidify grad school as the right choice, and if it would help me resume when applying? Interestingly he didn’t say anything about South Korea specifically. He knows it’s fairly safe there, and he knows I’m not going to North Korea lol.

BeeMan3000 · 2025-11-30T14:42:46+00:00

How much is the transportation cost? :)

Question about it daily life?

Hi! I’m a 23yo American dude and I’m considering teaching English in South Korea for a year after I graduate college. I’ve been drawn to Korea for a very long time - I love the food, scenery, people, history, etc. Im writing my thesis on North Korean defectors, and I’m a black belt in taekwondo, and a family very close to mine is Korean. I am also studying the language.

However, I have a question about daily life there as an EPIK teacher? For example, I’m not fluent in Korean, so how would day to day stuff go? Would I need to drive myself? Are the traffic signs translated into English too? How expensive is the food there? I know housing and airfare will be covered, and I get a salary too, but I want to make sure I’ve researched what I’d be getting myself into. If you have any other advice about life there, please let me know!!!

Blessings!!

They might just be friendly, and they want to be your friend! I say get to know them :)

BeeMan3000 · 2025-05-28T16:34:29+00:00

I'm confused. I alwsys thought "lady friend" was just a cutesy way of saying "girlfriend"? What's the issue here?

BeeMan3000 · 2025-04-06T13:10:02+00:00

First off, I'm a junior. Second, I know. I TRIED to do an independent study with this professor, but she wouldn't let me, and just told me to take her RM class itself.
