Have you interviewed at a hagwon too? Drop any questions I didn't cover in the comments - the people want to know!✍
Thank you for making this video, it was super helpful! How was the resume process? Did they ever mention it during the interview? Would love to know!
I am glad you found it helpful - and great question! Most of them mentioned they had it in front of them and that they had read through it, but they didn't ask me specific questions about anything that was written on it. :)
I used that last question in an interview last night and the interviewers were so impressed and genuinely stumped.
Oh, and I got an offer less than an hour later. Girl, bless your heart cause your advice was a heaven send. 🙏🏾
extremely helpful advice!! very wise, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been watching a lot of videos similar to this and this is by far the most helpful! I love your content!
My pleasure! I am so glad you found it helpful. Good luck with you applications✨
At this point I am just thanking the universe for making me go through or see the right channels/videos to guide me in this. So yes, thanks again for the videos. It's so motivating and detailed. You literally say even the slightest points as thin as hair pins. Thanks for giving us the step on step guides. :)

Any time! Teaching at a hagwon is an awesome job. I am sure you would love it✨
These are really helpful tips! I've been trying to get my paperwork together for my visa before I hear back from the recruiters so when the interviews with hagwons start, I'll be ready. Thank you so much for making these videos! I'll definitely be subscribing and keeping an eye out for more helpful tips and tricks to get that hagwon job.
I’m so happy to hear you found them helpful 🥰 Having everything organized from day one will definitely make the process run most smoothly. If there is ever anything you’ve got a question about shoot me a DM and I’ll be happy to answer it or make a video!!
Wow I am already interviewing and JUST started all the process for my paperwork
I loved your honest answer about kpop. Thanks to kpop I also discovered a culture I probably would have never really looked into. After kpop, one thing led to another!
Super helpful video!💫
That's exactly it - one thing let to another. Now I am all about the food 🍗 aha
I'm so glad you found it helpful! **internet high five**
You deserve more subscribers, super informative!
Ah shucks - Thank you! I am just glad people find value in my rants lol

Of course! I am so glad you find them helpful :) Good luck with your interviews. Youa re gonna kill it~ 😍
Thank you so much! This video was super helpful

That’s so exciting! It’ll be lovely to move here with someone beside you ☺️ I’m really glad you’ve found my content helpful! Ohhhh Cannnnnnadaaaaaaa! 🎶 lol
second time watching this video cause I have my first interview tmrw BUT!! I wanted to come on here and say that i was so distracted this whole video CAUSE YOURE SO INSANELY STUNNING??? like ... wow. anyways ok! I hope you have a great day :)
OMG! I hope your interview went well~ Please report back✨ (And thank you that is very sweet 🤍)
super helpful video!! thanks a bunch :):)
My pleasure! I'm so glad you found my ramblings helpful lol👍
😍 Thanks so much for this video. I’m interviewing soon, wish me luck! 🤞🏼😁
Good luck!!!!! You'll knock it out of the park 🏆
@@CamilleBlais thank you! 💛
so informative video! i regret that i haven't watched your video before going to the interview hha. For those who are not native speaker, be prepared for the question "how did you learn english?". It looks like an easy one but they are actually expecting us to say some incredible story hmmm
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And wow - that definitely sounds like it is set up to be some sort of trick question!
I have an interview in an hour. Thanks for this. Definitely calmed me down
I hope the interview went well!! 💕
@@CamilleBlais it did!!!! I got the job. I’m moving next month ☺️☺️☺️. Thank you so much 🌸
This was so helpful!!!!!!!! Will keep it in mind once I begin looking for a job. I don't drink at all..but I don't mind it once in a while but I do know the drinking culture is big there from personal experience so the question you mentioned they asked made me think what I could answer to seem like I can still fit in haha.
Oh yay! I'm so glad😇
The best way to answer that question if you don't drink is be as vague as possible lol Don't even assign a frequency - just let them know that you enjoy the occasional with friends (even if it is once in a blue moon 🌙 lol)
Thanks a lot for the info!
My pleasure!
Wow you’re such a great speaker! And thank you for this video, I have an interview tonight and this is helping me feel better
I also have an interview tonight lol
Thank you Grace! You’re gonna kill that interview 💪🏻
Good luck Allison!! You’ll have a fantastic interview - I just know it 🙌🏻
@@CamilleBlais I got the job!!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊
@@allimarshi That's right girl!!!!! Congratulations~ Next step is to hit me up when you arrive :)
loved your video! did you have to do a mini video showing how you would teach something? thanks!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I did not have to for the schools I interviewed with - but it is not an uncommon request! I know lots of schools ask for something similar ✨ I'm you'll make an amazing video!
Hi - love your videos! They're so helpful. Can you make a video about the visa process and documents you needed to gather before leaving for Korea? Thanks!
I am so glad you are enjoying them!💫
It's been so long, I might have to fact-check myself against my colleagues lol. Definitely a video I can add to the list for you!
@@CamilleBlais You're the best thank you!
My weekly rendez-vous 😁
Oui oui! Happy to have you here again✨
@@CamilleBlais aww - I wouldn't want it any other way
the smoking thing made me laugh so hard I just knew as soon as u said drinking and smoking where this was headed LOOLLLL. Its hard to know about the smoking culture without having lived there so your answer was totally understandable!!!!
I was mortified when it happened - but it is easy to laugh about now lol
@@CamilleBlais Oh I wouldve been tooo lol like those are situations where your face visibly drops and they see the panic D: but I can see why they offered you a position regardless you're great!
💜💜💜💜
Is your CV like the one you would use in North America? Like include all your work experience, or do you just include whatever (if any) teaching experience?
Great question! I kept all my work experience because I didn't want it to look like there were any gaps in my employment. I just rewrote the less applicable positions to speak to the skills I learned that would be transferable. The one big difference though was putting a professional headshot on my resume. It is standard practice over here!
Thank you for this! I have an interview w a hagwon today and I wasn't too sure what to say
Of course! I hope it goes well ✨
@@CamilleBlais you helped me land a contract :)
@@ryanasksaround Congrats!!
Hi! Great video! I will be interviewing to teach English in a Hagwon. I was referred by a friend who works for one also.
My question is : If I don’t hold a bachelor’s degree, will I automatically be rejected? I’m also Canadian. Thanks in advance! :)
Hey Sandra, good question! Unfortunately, in order to teach at a hagwon you need to hold an E2 visa and the only way to qualify for an E2 is with a bachelor's degree.
How would I explain to a company that I’m still interviewing with other companies and want to keep my options open for the time being, say mid-October? I’ve sent my application to a dozen schools and I’m just not ready to dive right into the first school I interview with…
This a toughie! The positions fill really quickly so if you do choose to tell a school you want to consider other options, they might extend your consideration period slightly but likely only by a small number of days. And you'd need to be prepared for them to fill the position with someone else while your considering, especially if you let them know your fielding other offers/interviews.
I would definitely agree not to take the first school you get an offer from but it probably best you interview with as many schools as you can in a short period of time close to mid-october in order to get the most options on the table in a short period of time. Schools will likely not hold your offer from now until then, in my opinion. I hope that helps!! And good luck with your search!✨
@@CamilleBlais I’ve had 4 interviews now and am just waiting for responses… I am prioritizing 2 over the others so it’s all just a waiting game now…
Is it possible for Indian citizen to apply for Hagwon? I mailed in EPIK but there are so many criteria.
Hi Aien! Unfortunately, I don't believe so. To work at a hagwon you need to be eligible for the E2 VISA. The E2 visa is only issued to citizens of one of the seven following native English-speaking countries: the United States, Canada, UK, Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
🤧🤧
hey!! fellow Canadian here :) just wondering if we could chat and more about your experience and whatnot, I'm currently in the process of applying through Hagwon! :)
Yeah! Absolutely ✨ You can just shoot me a message on Instagram @camilleblais Happy to answer any questions your might have
@@CamilleBlais I don't have instagram actually! just facebook!
I'm the reverse! lol You can leave any questions you have on this thread and I'll make sure to talk about them in the video :)
If it wasn't mentioned in the interview should I ask about pay or is that in poor taste? I feel like its important to know but I am also blunt by nature and dont always know what is socially acceptable lol
Great question! In most cases, the pay will be clearly outlined in the job posting. It is often written as a range but only varies by 100 or 200 USD. I wouldn't bring it up in a 1st interview but I think it is fair game in a 2nd one. If they like you enough they'll just send a contract with the details included right after your first call.
@@CamilleBlais Ah I heard about the hagwon I am applying to through current teachers that reccommened me the job and not through a job posting. All I know is that pay is negotiable. But I'll wait to see if it comes up in an interview or is specified in the contract- thank you!
Anyone please comment the last questions she ask to interviewer
I had to watch it back myself! lol
1) What does success in this role look like?
2) Is there anything that concerns you regarding my ability to do this job?
@@CamilleBlais ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘
I've had 2 interviews and I asked the "is there anything about me that concerns you about mhy ability to do this job" question and they just completely swerved it :(
Really?! That surprises me~
But, hey - maybe they just can't come up with something!
@@CamilleBlais or maybe they didn't want to be hash because I didn't get any of the jobs :'( lol
@@jiminspinkyfinger9763 Then they just weren't the right fit! It doesn't mean you won't find something perfect for you [insert heart emoji] (... I am on a computer with no emojis lol)
@@CamilleBlais thank you girl! 😭
do you need any type of degree??
In order to qualify for an E2 visa you need a Bachelor's Degree, but it can be in any discipline. For example, I have a Bachelor's of Design. I hope this helped!
@@CamilleBlais thank you! Are there any other qualifications for an E2??
Your hair is getting so long!
Right? I feel like that means it is time to cut it off lol
