I know you want to hear what came next. So here goes.
The application process was pretty long but well guided by my recruiter at Teach Away. I think I was the first person to apply for the 1000 positions in Korea through Teach Away. My Application was in before the jobs were posted on their site on Jan. 1, 2011. I had the whole EPIK application filled out and filed by Jan. 15, 2011 and began the VISA process. So much paperwork and notarizing and apostiling documents. Finally the application was sent to EPIK on April 1, 2011. Still more waiting.
My EPIK phone interview was on April 20, 2011. I was confirmed sometime in June and recieved my NOA and contract July 21, 2011. That was just a few weeks ago.
Remember I told you all of this started in November 2010. A LOT of work and waiting!
Now I'm down to 3 more days until departure and I am very ready to go, and continue this adventure on Korean soil. I have 2 extra large duffles packed and ready to check, and 1 back pack ready to carry on with me. On Tuesday, August 16 at 9:00pm I leave for LA. My international flight is with Asiana and departs at 12:30 am. After crossing the international date line, I'll arrive in Incheon, South Korea at 5:00 am. I will have had a complete nights sleep and be ready to start the orientation with a semi clear head. haha or so I think. Wish me luck!
