What is the best way for an American to begin a search for employment in an Asian country (specifically Korea)

We Answered:

Try teaching English. There are several programs that will certify you to do this. Korea should be pretty easy to get a job of this sort from what I hear.

How is the best way to search for employment in a city you dont live in?

We Answered:

A damn good question. I'm glad I saw this question because I've had trouble with this myself.

Unless you have friends or relatives in the area whose address you can borrow to put on job applications, you're really going to have a hard time at this. The thing I've found about employers is that they're biased towards applicants that list an out-of-state address or even a local post office box.

I lived for two years in Florida in the mid-90s and couldn't buy a job interview--I honestly believe one of the main reasons I had so much trouble is because of my physical address. I was in college at the time and had a campus P.O. Box.

I was young and naive at the time and now, looking back, I wish I had given the physical address of my dormitory (even though it was not an approved mailing address), or even asked a classmate if I could use their home address.

Really your only bet (if you've got your heart set on relocating to the Big D) would be to save up some cash, quit your current job, and move there. You'll struggle for a little while (you may even have to take some menial job to tide you over) as you conduct your search for full-time work.

One thing that's in your favor is that housing is pretty cheap in Dallas, so you won't have to worry about breaking the bank while you're unemployed and looking for work. It'd be a lot worse if you were moving to somewhere expensive like San Francisco or New York.

One other hint: employers probably won't mind much if you have an out-of-state area code on your phone, with cell phones nowadays being so widely available and people keeping their numbers with them as they move around the country.

But, you need a local mailing address.

Employment search: How not to get discouraged?

We Answered:

Remember that jobs are getting harder and harder to find as the economy is bad, and other are looking for jobs as well. More people are applying, and so it might take longer for them to get back to you. Companies are hiring less, so sometimes it just doesn't happen. You might need to keep trying and trying, but NOTHING will happen if you give up! So keep trying! :)
You want to send in lots of resumes too, just think- that gives you more possibilities. What if they all call? Then you have more to choose from. Good luck, and don't give up!

Where are some places to search for employment in the accounting field?

We Answered:

Don't know of any accountant specific websites, but you could try applying to the big accounting firms like E&Y and PWC on their websites.

You can also apply for accounting/controller/PnL positions in financial firms like Goldman, Sachs or Morgan Stanley via their websites. (You'll typically need a few years' experience for these type of jobs.)

Good luck!

My problem is that I have felony prostitutions in my backround and how does it affect my employment search.?

We Answered:

Did you ever thought about to get your record expunge. This is one step that can help you in your job search. Then, there are some employers will overlook this. Their reason is that you did not murdered or steal property.
