Teach and Learn in Korea interview questions

Applying to the TaLK program is a very long process. I applied on 7th Feb (but their office was closed) so I resubmitted my application on 22nd Feb (because you can make changes before they actually get to reading your application). I was then contacted by email to arrange an in-person interview with my local embassy in London, UK on 27th March (so a month later). They basically contact you one week before they want to interview you, so if you're far from your local office, be prepared to travel. Had my interview on 5th April. (This interview is basically to check to see if you can actually speak English and aren't a weirdo, very easy questions!) When you pass the first interview, you are required for a second over Skype with the Head PR Co-ordinator of the TaLK office over in Seoul. This interview was arranged about a week later. I had mine on the 12th April - this interview was the real deal, questions about experience, situational questions, lifestyle and such. The final results whether or not you get in are given an entire month later. 25th May, the be exact. All in all, it was a stupidly LONG process. At least a month in between each stage.

1) Apply online 2) Video Interview with someone from your local Korean Consulate: this interview is very easy, there's nothing you need to study for. Mine ended up being a phone interview because they had technical difficulties, it lasted less than 10 minutes. Keep in mind that Korean is their first language so speak clearly for them. 3) Video Interview with one of the heads of the TaLK Program: they will ask you more about yourself and give you situational questions to make sure you're mentally tough enough to stick it out. My interviewer was American, so there weren't any language barrier problems and it lasted about 20 minutes. Be professional but also relaxed. Many TaLK scholars are young with no previous work experience, life experience where you've proved yourself to be independent is more important. Also, I was accepted into the program 3 weeks before Orientation began in Korea. Everything about this program and Korea is done very last-minute, just expect that going in.
