Dear Dolly,

Welcome to SouthKorea;)
Korea is a very safe place, transportation is good. Without knowing korean you may find it hard, but it is manageable. Few know english here.
Where is S.Korea, Suwon?

Hi kavya
Thanks for your reply.ya its Suwon in South Korea.

Hi Dolly21

Good to know you are coming to Suwon. Im staying in Suwon and my DH is working in Samsung.

Job opporunities in Suwon is teaching jobs mostly recommend for foriegners that too native english speakers only but if u learn korean language first .then u can send resume to the consultant and get a job.

Here one problem is vegetables u cannot find some indian vegetables like beans, ladiesfinger, sorakai, drumstick etc., and saudiarabia/ Indian wheat is not available here now korean wheat is available.

Rice u will find jasmine and thai.

one more thing u need to get smallgrinder if u are eating idili or dosai otherwise no need.

If u are health club person u will find yoga and aerobics classes etc

Hospitals are really good some doctors knew English and medical shops can speak english too that will not be a problem.

Here Indians having community for Indians in Suwon and Seoul is mainly for Families, kids so that they cannot miss Indians festivals and kids interaction, friendship etc.,after coming here u can join the community.

Otherthan here people are friendly, helping and safe. Climate is good and u can enjoy ur life here.

If u need any other information i can help u.

Hi kavya

Are u working in a hospital?Where did u do your MBA?Is there any distance education to do MBA in Health care?I'm curious to know?

Hi Dolly21

Im really sorry for the late reply. Here there is no restrictions (noncitizens/ non PR)can apply for jobs. Here teaching jobs their first preference is native english speakers only and some non native speakers can get jobs like kindergarden parttime teacher but should know korean language very well. So you can give a try.

I have done my MBA (H&HSM) in Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute in Chennai. I was working in Lifeline Multispeciality Hospital Chennai for 1 year, i got married n immediately moved to SouthKorea at present not working.

MBA ( Hospital and Health Systems Management) is really a good course.Since your background is lifescience it will be moreadvantage in ur career.( u need to learn advanced accounts papers during the courses that time u will find difficulties otherthan that u can manage the course verywell)

You can try BITS Pilani offering MPhil distance education in Hospital and Health Systems Management really a good one.

I have attached the links below u can find which are the universities offering correspondence course;
