It was a really chill interview, the lady Rachel was super nice. She just wanted to know why I wanted to join Epik and how I'd handle disagreements with a co-teacher. Just gotta show your personality and that you really want the job, like you're the best fit. If you're ready for whatever questions they throw at you, you'll do great! 💪🏽☺️

I had a recruiter who set up my interview for this month. My application was finished in mid-August and sent to EPIK by my recruiter on Sept 3rd. My interview was set for Oct 10th and I heard back the next day. The interview started with talking about any issues with my application and answering questions about my background. Then, the interviewer asked questions about teaching in Korea. After that, they had to ask the same basic questions from the application like about health concerns and tattoos. Once that was finished, they tell you what to expect if you pass and how long it will take to hear back. You can ask questions then too, but they'll tell you to ask your recruiter instead. It was a really fast process and straightforward. Still nerve-wracking though, just make sure you review all the possible questions.
Confirmed questions8 questions
- What differentiates you from other EPIK candidates?
- Could you describe your personality?
- What cultural differences have you observed between Korea and the US, and how did you manage them?
