Working as a military civilian in Korea?

I teach full time on a Korean E2 visa. I'm now looking for part time army base/DoD type work to make some extra cash and stave off boredom. Am I eligible for a base job? If so, where do I look for openings? Any information on the civilian military job market you can give me is appreciated, and I'm especially interested in on-base car sales.

Cool Re: Working as a military civilian in Korea?

Start Here- http://<font color="red">http://www....my.mil/</font>
(Go to employment-click and follow directions.)
All Army jobs in Korea are accessible.
Commissaries (DCA) and PX (AAFES) each have their own websites. (Stocking shelves after normal hours may be appealing.)
The Auto Sales is privately owned I think. Someone else can help you there. Friends at US Army Garrison Humphreys can get you local info.
I don't know your background, so I can't tell you about your eligibility. Building yourself a resume on the site above will give you an idea of your eligibility for most jobs.
Air Force jobs are at https://ww2.afpc.randolph.af.mil/resweb/default.ht m (Go to- Select Topic and Become an AF Employee, and Step 3.)

If you have a recognized Teaching Degree, you may want to inquire of the DODDS Schools at Humphreys- it could open up a new avenue for you.

Re: Working as a military civilian in Korea?

As long as you're American you can get a job on base. I know that CYS (Child Youth Services) are always looking for staff. you can get a New Visa and also get cheaper food and what not on post. If you have free housing now you might not get that with some jobs on post.

The problem with getting an on post job is that it will be your "main" job, so any teaching job you get will have to work around that.

You can still get part time teaching jobs and make a lot of money.

You don't want to work for them. You won't make any money and you will have no time to teach part time. It will be easy to get the job, but after a few months you'll want another job. i should know. I worked for them.

If you have any questions feels free to ask.

The school teachers I know working for the Korean Government schools don't complain of boredom. Maybe you are working less hours? Anyway, the Auto sales thing, I suspect, fits best with retired military folks, who can afford to spend hours doing nothing just to retain a visa. DrWorm can fill you in better than I.
If you have little or no teaching experience, it may benefit you to finish your contract and get a nice referral, then continue or, talk about working in DODDS Schools, which can be a great job!
Something you may like to know- if you are hired for most jobs on Post, you will make more money if you are hired from the U.S. Being picked up here in country prevents you from getting the much higher housing allowance.
