At a Glance: To work legally in Korea, Chinese nationals must first verify whether they are permitted to perform the work under their current visa (status of residence). The typical paths are: ① Applying for a work visa such as the E-7 after passing an exam in China; ② Switching to a job-seeking visa (D-10) after studying (D-2) or language training (D-4); ③ If already residing in Korea, verifying a change of status or permission for activities outside of one's current status. Preparing academic and work experience certificates, as well as Korean language proficiency test scores (TOPIK), in advance increases the chances of success. Many Chinese job seekers are interested in employment in Korea. Korean companies are consistently seeking talent who are fluent in Chinese and understand the Chinese market, as well as experienced professionals in the fields of technology, content, trade, sales, and service. However, getting a job in Korea does not simply end with "submitting a resume → interview → hiring." There is a separate question that is most important for foreigners. Do my educational background, work experience, Korean language proficiency, and desired job meet the requirements for legal employment in Korea? In this article, I have systematically organized the essential steps and preparations that Chinese nationals must know when preparing for employment in Korea. 1. The first step to getting a job in Korea is not "applying," but "checking your eligibility for legal employment." Just because you are staying in Korea does not mean you are free to do anything. Status of residence in Korea is divided into statuses that allow employment and statuses that restrict employment , and foreigners can only work within the scope permitted by their visa. So, please check the following three things before applying. Is the job I want a position that foreigners can get hired for? Do you possess the educational background, work experience, and language skills required for that job? Does the Korean company intend to proceed with the recruitment of foreigners and visa procedures? If these three things are not verified, it may be difficult to actually join the company even if you pass the interview. You can save a significant amount of time and money simply by getting the order right. 2. 3 Representative Ways for Chinese People to Work in Korea Choosing the path that suits you best is the fastest way. Find the line closest to your situation in the table below. Route A. Apply for a work visa after passing in China It is the most ideal method. You live in China, participate in online interviews with Korean companies, and once your hiring is confirmed, apply for a work visa with the company's cooperation. Some job positions, such as professional, technical, administrative, overseas sales, and engineering, can be linked to the E-7 (Specific Activities) visa . The E-7 visa is a status of residence for foreigners who intend to work in specialized fields designated by the Minister of Justice by entering into a contract with an institution or company in Korea. When applying in China, the process usually proceeds as follows: the inviting company in Korea first handles the Visa Issuance Recognition Number (commonly known as the Return Number), and then the applicant applies for a visa at a Korean embassy or consulate or visa application center in China. The people who are a good fit for this path are as follows. Holders of a bachelor's degree or higher Candidates with relevant work experience for the position applied for People capable of business communication in Korean, English, or Chinese Experienced professionals in specialized fields such as IT, engineering, manufacturing, overseas sales, trade, content, games, design, hotels, and tourism. Someone who can prepare documents such as academic and work experience certificates and a resume Path B. Job Seeking/Employment After Studying Abroad/Language Training If you currently lack Korean language skills or interview opportunities with Korean companies, you can consider studying in Korea first. The general process is as follows. D-4 (Language Training) / D-2 (Study Abroad) → Korean Language Improvement · Part-time Job · Internship Experience → D-10 (Job Seeking Visa) → Conversion to Employment Visa such as E-7 However, D-2 and D-4 visa holders are not unconditionally free to work. You must check conditions such as part-time work permits or restrictions on working hours. Route C. If you are already staying in Korea If you are already in Korea on a D-2, D-10, F-2, F-4, F-5, F-6, etc., please first check if you are eligible for employment with your current visa. The following items are more important than a company's willingness to hire. Whether I can perform the relevant work with my current visa Is there a limit on working hours? Whether reporting to or permission from immigration authorities is required Whether there will be any issues when changing to other visas such as D-10 or E-7 later If you are unsure, it is safer to verify by calling the Foreigners' Information Center at 1345 or consulting an expert. 3. Korean employment fields well-suited for Chinese job seekers This is a field that Korean companies frequently look for when recruiting Chinese talent. field Representative duties Regarding the Chinese market Overseas sales, trade, e-commerce operations, customer support, social media operations, content localization IT·Technology Software, Backend, Frontend, Game Development, Data Analysis, AI, QA, PM Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality Machinery/Electrical & Electronics, Semiconductor, Production/Quality Control, Equipment Maintenance Hotels, Tourism, and Services Hotels, duty-free shops, medical tourism, etc. You should not judge service roles based solely on the job title. Employment eligibility can vary depending on the actual work content, company conditions, education and experience, and visa requirements. 4. Documents to prepare before employment in Korea If you prepare your documents in advance, the process will be much faster after you are accepted. ① Resume — Clearly state your nationality, current residence, availability to start, highest level of education, major, work experience, language proficiency, TOPIK score, experience living in Korea, and whether the company requires visa support. ② Certificates of Education and Career — Prepare graduation, degree, and transcript certificates; certificates of employment, career, and resignation; letters of recommendation; professional licenses; portfolios; project description materials, etc. Some documents may require translation, notarization, or an apostille (or consular authentication). The necessary procedures vary depending on the visa type, application region, and embassy/consulate standards. ③ Language Proficiency — While Korean is not mandatory for all positions, it has a significant impact on employment prospects. Korean language level Suitable job Korean is unavailable Some technical positions, overseas sales, and China market managers TOPIK Levels 2~3 Basic communication, service, and operational support TOPIK Level 4 or higher Advantageous for office work, business communication, and long-term employment TOPIK Levels 5~6 Advantageous for full-time positions, translation/localization, and management roles There are positions you can apply for even if you don't speak Korean. However, if you want to work in Korea for a long time, learning Korean is the most reliable investment. 5. Questions to Check for Korean Company Interviews Don't just look at the salary; be sure to ask about the items below as well. Does the company have experience hiring foreigners? Can you support the visa process? Does the position meet the requirements for an employment visa? Workplace/Accommodation (Housing Support) Status Probationary period and salary (whether pre-tax or post-tax) Standards for working hours, overtime, and holiday work Whether a formal employment contract was drawn up Do you assist with the alien registration process after entry? In 2026, the minimum wage in Korea is 10,320 won per hour, which is 2,156,880 won per month based on 209 hours. When checking your salary, be sure to examine whether the wage stated in the contract, actual working hours, and payment method are reasonable. 6. Dangers that must be avoided The most important things to watch out for when preparing for employment in Korea are illegal employment and fraudulent hiring . The following are warning signs. The act of working immediately after entering the country for tourism purposes A brokerage firm that guarantees employment if you pay upfront Jobs that pay wages in cash only, without an employment contract The act of submitting false academic background, work experience, or language scores Work outside the scope of visa allowance Companies that provide information regarding job duties, salary, visa, contract, and work location only verbally Be cautious of companies or brokers that do not clearly explain the terms in writing. 7. Self-assessment of whether I am suitable for employment in Korea If you answer the questions below, you will see the direction. Is my major related to my desired job? Do you have relevant experience? Are you able to communicate for work in Korean or English? Can you prepare certificates of educational background and work experience? Is the desired position eligible for a work visa? If the answer is unclear, it is recommended to first get an assessment of your employment potential. 8. Check your chances of getting a job in Korea for free on JOBPLOY.

You can check the latest information on visa systems and procedures at HiKorea and the Foreigners' Information Center (1345) . Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. If I get accepted to a Korean company in China, can I start working immediately? A. You cannot start working simply by passing the interview. Typically, the Korean company must first proceed with the visa issuance approval process, after which the applicant must obtain a work visa (e.g., E-7) from a Korean embassy or consulate or visa application center in China. Be sure to confirm during the interview stage whether the company is willing to hire a foreign national and support the visa application. Q2. Is it possible to get a job in Korea even if I don't speak any Korean? A. There are positions available. For roles such as managing the Chinese market, overseas sales, and some technical or development positions, you may be able to apply without Korean language skills. However, if you are aiming for an office job, long-term employment, or a transition to a permanent position, having TOPIK Level 4 or higher is a significant advantage. Korean is the most certain investment in competitiveness. Q3. Can I get an E-7 visa for any job? A. No. The E-7 is a status of residence issued only for specialized fields designated by the Minister of Justice. Typically, a bachelor's degree or higher, relevant work experience, and a contract with a company are required. Whether your job meets the requirements depends on the visa type, company conditions, and personal documents, so please check with HiKorea or 1345. Q4. Can I work part-time while studying abroad (D-2)? A. It is possible conditionally. D-2 international students must obtain permission for part-time work (activities outside the scope of their visa status) in advance, and permitted hours may be limited based on factors such as Korean language proficiency and academic grades. Working without permission can be illegal, so please check with your school's International Office or the Immigration Service first. Q5. How do I prepare documents such as a graduation certificate? A. Please obtain your graduation, degree, and academic transcripts, as well as your employment certificate, in advance. Translation, notarization, or an apostille (or consular authentication) may be required when applying for a visa. Since the necessary procedures vary depending on the visa type, application region, and embassy standards, it is safer to check with the competent embassy or call 1345 before applying.

Hello, this is JOBPLOY, a recruitment platform for foreign job seekers looking for employment in Korea. For foreign job seekers dreaming of a fresh start in Korea, Jobploy consistently provides accurate employment information and reliable visa and administrative services. Many foreign workers often face difficulties due to language barriers and complex administrative procedures when changing jobs, extending visas, or altering workplaces. Today, we introduce a vivid, real-life employment interview with HHTAY from Myanmar, who holds an E-7-4 (Skilled Worker) visa and successfully found a new job through Jobploy. JOBPLOY Real Employment Interview Thanks to JOBPLOY, I was able to succeed in the job change and visa issues that felt daunting on my own, along with warm support. Q1. How did you first hear about JOBPLOY? I found out about Jobploy because a Myanmar acquaintance living in Gimpo actively recommended and promoted it on Facebook. It seems to be very popular through word of mouth within the foreigner community. Q2. What duties did you perform at your previous job, and what was the reason for your resignation? At my previous company, I was responsible for heat treatment-related work. I worked day and night shifts for about five years, but unfortunately, I decided to resign because my health deteriorated somewhat due to the reversed day-night schedule. Q3. Were you aware of the 'change of workplace' regulations for the E-7-4 visa in advance? Since this was my first time changing jobs and workplaces, I was not familiar with the exact procedures. I was very worried because I only knew the superficial information that "it is difficult to change workplaces if you resign within two years due to personal reasons." Q4. Specifically, what kind of help did you receive from JOBPLOY during your job preparation process? Above all, what I liked most was that you connected me with interview opportunities quickly. Through JOBPLOY, I was able to swiftly interview with two companies that matched my career background. In particular, being able to honestly share my anxiety about the job search process was a great emotional comfort. Every time I had a phone consultation, I felt a warmth as if someone were listening directly right beside me, which was a huge source of strength. Q5. What was the reason you ultimately chose your current company (DS Soltech)? After visiting the company and seeing the workplace firsthand, I gained confidence that I could handle the job without difficulty because it was safe and free of dangerous elements. Commuting was convenient, but above all, the consideration shown in allowing my spouse (wife) to live in the company-provided dormitory was the decisive factor. Q6. What was the most memorable or rewarding moment you experienced while working in Korea? As expected, 'payday,' when I am rewarded for my hard work, is the most memorable and rewarding. Also, the very fact that I can work together with diverse foreign colleagues in the same workplace in Korea is a very special experience for me. Q7. What was the most difficult thing about finding a job on your own in Korea? Realistically, it is very difficult for a foreigner to find a legal and good job on their own. Usually, people pay a fee to look for jobs through an administrative agent, but they can be hurtful because some agents do not help with sincerity. However, since discovering JOBPLOY, my job preparation has become much easier because I can receive kind, detailed, and free assistance ranging from professional career counseling to guidance on complex visa documents. Q8. Please briefly introduce DS Soltech, the company you recently moved to! DS Soltech Co., Ltd., where I have started working, is a stable company established in 2008 and an excellent enterprise specializing in the surface treatment (plating) of ultra-high voltage connection materials and components. Here, I have begun a new career as an expert in plating and surface treatment. 👉🏻Introducing DS Soltech. Q9. Please say a few words to other foreign colleagues preparing for employment in Korea. It is important to always prioritize safety at work and strictly adhere to company rules. Additionally, maintaining good relationships with your superiors and colleagues through mutual consideration will make your life in Korea much more enjoyable.

We are providing clear guidelines to ensure that foreign job seekers do not suffer any disadvantages. Principle of Restriction on Changing Jobs: The E-7-4 visa is generally based on the principle of continuing employment at the initially designated workplace. Cases where changing jobs is possible: Cases where there is no fault attributable to the foreign worker, such as the suspension or closure of the original workplace, unpaid wages, or bankruptcy. In cases where a 'Transfer Agreement' has been issued with the consent of the original employer. Caution: If you resign without notice due to personal reasons or without the consent of your original employer, permission to change your workplace may be restricted, so you must consult a professional. 👉🏻 Can I become an E-7-4?

Hello, this is the Jobploy Recruitment Manager. The third week of May has already begun. How is everyone doing? Today, I would like to share some important news with international students preparing for employment in Korea. JOBPLOY has been assisting international students with their overall employment since 2025. [Job preparation that feels so difficult] Many international students struggle with whether to continue with master's or doctoral programs after graduation or to prepare for employment immediately. Many people apply for a D-10 visa and apply on various recruitment platforms, but often do not receive a response. Even if they are lucky enough to get an interview opportunity, they often struggle due to a lack of confidence during the interview in Korean . The concerns frequently heard, especially in such situations, are as follows: “Why haven’t I heard back from the company I applied to?” “Won’t I fail the interview if my Korean seems lacking?” “I don’t know where to start preparing for a job.” If such experiences are repeated, anxiety and worry accumulate, and in some cases, people eventually give up on finding a job and make a living through part-time work. However, I believe that with accurate information and strategic preparation, getting a job is possible, even if it takes a long time. [`The Key to Job Preparation is Your Mindset '] The first point that JOBPLOY emphasizes is a positive mindset . People who have the mindset of “I can do it!” are actually succeeding in finding employment and continuing their careers. A positive mindset leads me to good thoughts and directions. confident attitude Positive mindset A willingness to take on challenges These three things are a great help during the preparation process. As you prepare for employment now, ask yourself: What is my mindset regarding finding a job? [` Finding what I want to do ` ] Many international students look for “high-paying jobs” or “companies that support visas.” Of course, these are important, but what is more important is what kind of work I want to do . Even if you join a company that offers visa support, if the work is not a good fit, you will eventually consider changing jobs. Furthermore, if a short career is repeated, companies find it difficult to accept the reason for resignation, and changing jobs becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore, it is important to find what you truly want to do before graduating or even starting now, and to consider what preparations are needed for it. For example, “I enjoy communicating with people” → Sales & Marketing roles “I am strong in analysis and data” → Research and Planning roles “I enjoy coming up with creative ideas” → Design/Content role You can identify your tendencies, personality, and recommended jobs through a vocational psychological test. As such, identifying your own tendencies and strengths is the first step to successful employment. [ ` Job Hunting Strategies with JOBPLOY ` ] After graduation, you can stay in Korea for up to three years on a D-10 visa. JOBPLOY helps you develop a job plan and prepare for employment during this period. 1. Check Application: Even small activities are welcome! Organizing various projects, major courses, practical training, clubs, volunteer activities, internships, and part-time job experiences Please record the company name, employment period, and responsibilities in detail. 2.

The Door Is Opening Little by Little — Spring 2026, The Story of the Foreigner Visa System In early May, the Ministry of Justice released a short but meaningful press release. The title was somewhat long: "Learn Korean Cuisine, Revitalize Root Industries, and Enjoy Workcations." At first glance, it seems like a jumble of disparate words, but upon closer inspection, a clear trend emerges: Korean society is opening its doors to foreigners in a more diverse range of ways. A total of eight changes were announced. Since the numbers alone might not be very impressive, I would like to begin by discussing who stands before these doors and for what reasons. To foreigners dreaming of becoming Korean chefs The first story is about Korean cuisine. For foreigners wishing to learn Korean food at the 'Sura School' designated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, visa requirements such as educational background, work experience, and language proficiency have long been significant barriers. It essentially means that while they want to come and learn because they love Korean food, actually entering the country itself has not been easy. In this reorganization, these requirements are being relaxed on a trial basis. This means the threshold for the Korean Cuisine Training (D-4) visa is being lowered. From the government's perspective, this is about fostering talent for the globalization of K-Food, but it also holds significance for the job market. This is because it implies that within the next few years, a pool of personnel who have formally mastered Korean cuisine locally will be established. This is a change worth noting for Korean restaurants or food companies considering overseas expansion. There is a shortage of workers at the factory. The second story is a bit heavier. There is a term called "root industries." These refer to fields such as mold making, casting, and welding—the processes that underpin the very foundation of manufacturing. The shortage of skilled workers in these sectors is a long-standing issue. The difficulty in finding people is no longer a new lament for recruiters. The newly added category is 'Mold Maker' under the General Skilled Worker (E-7-3) visa. Until now, the mold-making sector was a field where visa pathways for legally employing foreign workers were effectively blocked. The pilot program is limited to 150 participants per year. You may feel this is a small number. However, once a track opens, it typically expands—this is the standard trajectory of visa policy. What is more important than the number of 150 in the first year is the fact that 'a closed door has opened.' The requirements are also interesting. If you pass the proficiency test conducted by the National Root Industry Promotion Center and possess Korean language skills equivalent to TOPIK Level 3, the experience requirement is waived. In other words, if you can prove your proficiency and qualifications in Korean, you can hire personnel who are close to entry-level. Foreigners working in Jeju The third story has a quite different atmosphere. It is Jeju Island. If a foreigner entering Jeju without a visa stays to work remotely, their period of stay is extended from 30 days to a maximum of 90 days. However, they must have an income above a certain level and obtain a letter of recommendation from the Governor of Jeju. When I first saw this item, the term 'Digital Nomad Visa' naturally came to mind. It is the system already in operation in countries like Portugal, Estonia, and Thailand. Korea has been somewhat late in this regard, but it appears to be launching a Korean-style workcation model in earnest, using Jeju as a testing ground. While 90 days may seem short, it is sufficient time to complete a project. If this expands to the mainland, the landscape of the foreign employment market could change completely. One year held back entry-level STEM talent The fourth story is about a wall that any recruiter has likely encountered at least once. The E-7-1 professional visa requires a one-year work experience. For bachelor's degree graduates, this one year often became a stumbling block. The complaint, "I want to hire a good entry-level foreigner, but I can't because of the visa," was quite a familiar grievance in the IT industry. This one-year requirement is waived for participants in the 'Overseas Specialized Technical Manpower Recruitment Program' operated by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The program applies to individuals who have undergone job training, language education, and a verification process in the overseas location. This effectively creates a verified entry-level track. While it may seem small, it represents a significant change in the actual recruitment landscape. The path to settling in Korea early The fifth and sixth stories can be grouped together along similar lines. They are all stories about education and settlement. Foreign students enrolling in the four international schools located within the Jeju English Education City will now be eligible for the D-4 visa for high school and below. This means that if students attend school in Korea from a young age, and this naturally leads to university education and employment, the number of foreign talents who will settle in Korea in the long term will increase. In a similar vein, graduates of foreign university campuses located in Korea (currently five locations) will receive the same special treatment as graduates of regular domestic universities. Previously, visa processing was somewhat cumbersome for foreign nationals who graduated from branch campuses in places like Songdo or Busan and sought employment in Korea. Now, they will be on the same starting line. One year in Korea before going to university The final topic is the gap year. It concerns the issuance of visas that allow foreign nationals who have graduated from high school in OECD countries to stay in Korea for about a year to explore career paths before entering university. This is a strategy to familiarize outstanding foreign students with Korea even before the admission stage. Although it comes with the condition that universities must specifically prepare program content and academic management plans, the shift in thinking to "bring them in advance and help them settle" is interesting when viewed within the bigger picture of attracting international students. One stream penetrating the eight If you have read along this far, you will see that while each individual item may appear to be a small change, a clear direction emerges when viewed as a whole. It is that Korea's approach to welcoming foreigners is diversifying, moving away from a single "big door" to "multiple smaller doors." Skilled workers, professionals, students, digital nomads, and aspiring chefs. Entry routes tailored to individual circumstances and qualifications are gradually increasing. This change is directly reflected in the recruitment market. We are slowly shifting from an era where only a single visa track was known to an era where one can select and utilize a visa track that fits the company's industry and job function. Of course, many items are still in the pilot phase. Both the numbers and the scope are currently small, such as limiting eligibility to 150 people per year, restricting it to Jeju, and limiting it to five universities. However, changes in visa policies typically start small like this and gradually expand. This is why JOBPLOY takes this announcement seriously. Jobploy's Next Story In this post, I have laid out the big picture. In the next posts, I plan to explore each visa track one by one and organize a practical guide on who applies, with what documents, and how. The E-7-3 Mold Maker, E-7-1 Entry-level Science and Engineering, and Jeju Workcation sections will follow in order. Just because the door is open does not mean everyone can find their way in. We believe that finding that door and walking that path together is Jobploy's role.

Foreign Interview Preparation Guide: Key Points on Attire, Timing, and Attitude At a Glance, basic etiquette for job interviews at Korean companies includes arriving 10 to 20 minutes before the interview begins, wearing neat, dark-colored business casual attire, and keeping your mobile phone on silent. Making eye contact with the interviewer, answering in a clear tone, and maintaining good posture have a significant impact on the evaluation. Foreign job seekers can also make a good first impression by simply adhering to these three things: attire, timing, and attitude. Hello, this is the Jobploy Recruitment Manager. I frequently receive questions from foreign job seekers in Korea who have interviews coming up, such as "What should I wear?" and "How many minutes early should I arrive?" In this article, we have summarized the key points of interview preparation to answer those questions all at once. What should I wear for an interview? Dark-colored suits or business casual attire that do not stand out are the safest choice. The key is to project a neat, tidy, and trustworthy impression. It is advisable to avoid flashy accessories and revealing designs. It is recommended to wear a matching set, from neat hair to dress shoes (loafers). If you do not have dress shoes, I recommend simple sneakers with a small logo. [ Business + Casual Attire ] The key point is to give a neat and tidy impression, plus a trustworthy impression. - Wear clothing with neutral colors - Avoid flashy accessories and revealing designs as much as possible [ For men → (Suit or shirt, jacket, slacks) ] - Recommended colors: Black, Navy, Dark Gray - Hairstyle: I recommend a neat style where the bangs are styled upwards rather than down, and not too long. [ For women → (Blouse, Suit or Shirt, Jacket, Slacks) ] - Recommended colors: Black, Navy, Gray, White, Ivory - Hairstyle: Neatly styled updos, a tidy bob, or long hair styled naturally. How many minutes before the interview should I arrive? It is most appropriate to arrive 10 to 20 minutes before the interview starts. Arriving too early may put pressure on the company, while arriving late may be perceived as a lack of time management skills. Checklist for Interview Timing: Avoid drinking and sleeping in the day before the interview, and take care of your condition. If the interview location is a place you are visiting for the first time, check the travel route and estimated travel time the day before. If you need to use a train or intercity bus, book your ticket in advance. We schedule the departure time with about 30 minutes of buffer time compared to the estimated travel time. After arriving, spend 5 to 10 minutes in the restroom checking your attire or catching your breath. Attitude and demeanor evaluated in an interview Interviewers evaluate not only the content of the answers but also posture, facial expressions, and tone of voice comprehensively. For foreign applicants, even if their Korean is not perfect, a serious attitude and confident gaze often lead to a favorable evaluation. The key points are as follows. Sit deeply in the chair, but keep your back slightly against the backrest to maintain an upright posture. When the interviewer speaks, lightly nod your head and listen attentively. When answering, look the interviewer gently in the eye. Finish with a clear tone without trailing off. For questions I don't know the answer to, I honestly reply, "I will learn that part quickly after joining the company." Basic etiquette to observe at an interview The evaluation begins the moment you enter the interview room. Your attitude toward the HR representative, the receptionist, and other waiting candidates may all be subject to observation. When you arrive at the company, greet the HR manager first with a bright expression. Please keep your mobile phone on silent or turned off while waiting for the interview (vibration may also be heard). When entering the interview room, lightly knock before entering, greet with "Hello," and take your seat upon being instructed. When the interview is over, say "Thank you" and exit calmly. Maintain a neat posture until you have completely left the company building. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. My Korean isn't perfect. Is it okay to have the interview? A. In interviews for foreign job postings, a sincere attitude and willingness to communicate are valued more than perfect Korean language skills. If you get stuck while answering, do not panic; instead, ask for a moment to think and answer slowly. You may politely ask the interviewer if you can provide supplementary explanations in English or your native language regarding parts where your Korean is lacking. Q2. What should I do if I think I will be late for the interview? A. As soon as you anticipate being late, you must contact the HR representative directly by phone to explain the situation and inform them of your estimated arrival time. A phone call takes precedence over a text message or email. Upon arrival, apologize politely once again and proceed with the interview. Unauthorized tardiness may result in the cancellation of the interview. Q3. I don't have a suit. What should I wear? A. A suit is not strictly necessary. A combination of a dark-colored shirt or blouse with slacks or neat cotton trousers is sufficient. Please avoid jeans, shorts, flip-flops, and flashy prints. While neat casual attire is often permitted in the food service, logistics, and manufacturing sectors, it is safer to dress at a business casual level to ensure a good first impression. Q4. What is the question you are most frequently asked in interviews? A. The questions frequently asked of foreign job seekers are: ① reason for coming to Korea and plans for the duration of stay, ② current visa type and expiration date, ③ experience learning Korean and level of communication proficiency, ④ previous work experience and reason for leaving, and ⑤ ability to work long-term. It is recommended to prepare answers for these five questions in advance. If you have scheduled an interview, it is recommended to prepare by reviewing your resume and practicing mock interviews. JOBPLOY's dedicated 1:1 recruitment manager will assist you with everything from resume editing to organizing anticipated interview questions. Check job postings available with your visa, or refer to the employment stories of other foreign job seekers.

Are you dreaming of studying, living, and pursuing a successful career in Korea? If so, your most essential weapon is your TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) score report. While Korean companies are expanding their global recruitment efforts, Korea's business environment remains largely Korean-centric. Today, we'll delve into why TOPIK is a crucial gateway to employment in Korea and how to win the fierce competition to apply for the test. Why do I need a TOPIK certificate? When applying to Korean companies, the TOPIK certificate isn't just a piece of paper. It's the most reliable proof of your "survival skills" and "job performance." Business Communication: Even within the most global Korean companies, most daily work and meetings are conducted in Korean. Korean language proficiency is essential for collaborating with colleagues and meeting with clients. Gain a competitive edge: A TOPIK score will help you stand out from the crowd. It will reassure recruiters that you can immediately function in a Korean-speaking environment. Successful Settlement: Reducing the language barrier is the most effective way to smoothly enter and adapt to the Korean labor market. TOPIK grading system and appropriate employment level The TOPIK test assesses listening, reading, and writing skills (TOPIK II only) and is divided into levels 1 through 6 based on scores. TOPIK I is for levels 1 and 2, while TOPIK II is for levels 3 through 6. The minimum Korean language proficiency required for a visa is TOPIK Level 2. If you wish to obtain employment or permanent residency, we recommend that you prepare for at least Level 4. Grade classification TOPIK I (Beginner): Level 1 ~ 2 TOPIK II (Intermediate/Advanced): Level 3 to 6 Recommended level for employment Level 3 ~ 4 (Intermediate): This is generally considered the minimum requirement for admission to Korean universities and general office jobs. Level 5 ~ 6 (Advanced): Obtaining an advanced level is advantageous for securing a wider range of better opportunities, such as highly specialized jobs, professional positions, and research positions. Employers use TOPIK scores to determine whether applicants have the communication skills to succeed in a Korean-language business environment. Registration for the TOPIK exam is extremely competitive. Demand for TOPIK II, in particular, is so explosive that applications often close as soon as they open. Tips for Receiving Applications for Korean Residents (In Korea) Punctuality: If the reception server opens at 10:00 AM, you should be on the website at least 5-10 minutes early. One Minute Difference: Being even one minute late can cause thousands of people to wait in line, making it difficult to even enter the server, and greatly increasing the chances of missing your desired testing location. Tips for applying for a job abroad Overseas, the test is administered by Korean education centers, designated schools, or universities in each country. Since application methods vary by country, be sure to check with the local institution before applying online. Exam Preparation and Notes Here's a checklist of things you shouldn't miss when registering for and taking the exam. Prepare an ID photo: Prepare an ID photo file that meets the specifications to be uploaded upon application. Account Creation Required: Even if you take the test overseas, you must have an account on the official TOPIK website to check your scores. Using mock exams: Try taking the mock exams provided on the official website or past exam question sites. The shortcut to a high score is to understand the types of questions by year and difficulty level through past exam questions. From TOPIK test registration to taking the test 1. Choose the test method that suits you (PBT, IBT) According to the Ministry of Education's recent announcement (2026 implementation plan), the TOPIK test is broadly divided into three types. PBT (Paper-Based Test): Traditional paper-based test IBT (Internet-Based Test): Internet-based computer-based test Speaking Assessment: Separately administered 💡 What's the difference between PBT and IBT? Among job seekers and students, the PBT and IBT remain the most popular options. The difficulty level of both tests is the same, so you can choose the one that best suits your situation. However, there is one crucial difference. Note: If you choose the Internet-based test (IBT), you must practice typing in Korean. Since you'll be typing the Writing section on a keyboard, choosing the Paper-based Test (PBT) is recommended if you're not comfortable typing. 2. TOPIK Levels and Exam Fees The test type and cost vary depending on your target grade. (The costs below are based on the Korean version and may vary by country.) division Target grade Examination fee (KRW) note TOPIK I 1st ~ 2nd grade 40,000 KRW Listening, reading TOPIK II Grade 3 to 6 55,000 KRW Listening, reading, writing 3. Step 1: Create a TOPIK account A www.topik.go.kr account is required to register for the test. Overseas residents must also register to check their scores. → Go to TOPIK site Step 2: Practical Application Guide The TOPIK registration button is only activated during a specific period. Competition for test centers in Korea, especially in the Seoul area, is fierce, so strategy is essential. Application Process (Step-by-Step) Login and Access: Log in during the application period and click the [Apply for Exam] button. Test Selection: Choose the test you want to take: TOPIK I or TOPIK II. Information Verification: Verify your personal information and photos. (Prepare a photo file that meets the required specifications in advance.) Select your testing location (most important!): Choose your preferred region and testing location. Payment: Your application will be completed upon payment of the examination fee. 5. Finalize your exam preparation Now that you've completed the registration, it's time to show off your skills. Use mock exams: Familiarize yourself with the question types by using past exam questions provided on the official website and elsewhere. → Try taking a mock exam Check the rules: Be sure to check the test taker guidelines, such as bringing your ID on the day of the test. 2026 TOPIK Evaluation Schedule The 2026 TOPIK evaluation schedule has been announced as follows. method Application period Test date PBT December 9th - 15th (25 years) January 11th IBT December 16th - 22nd (25 years) February 28th IBT January 13th - 19th March 21st PBT January 27th - February 2nd April 11th and 12th PBT March 10th - 16th May 17th IBT April 7th - 3rd June 13th PBT May 12th - 18th July 4th and 5th IBT July 7th - 13th September 12th PBT August 4th - August 10th October 17th - October 18th IBT August 18th - August 24th October 24th PBT September 1st - September 7th November 15th IBT September 15th - September 21st November 28th How is it different from the Korea Inclusive Education Program (KIIP)? When preparing for employment and residence in Korea, you'll often encounter the term "KIIP" (Korean Immigration and Integration Program). The two have distinctly different purposes. While TOPIK is a purely language assessment test used to prove your Korean language skills for university admissions and employment, KIIP is an immigrant adaptation training program hosted by the Ministry of Justice that teaches not only Korean but also Korean culture and law. While TOPIK is advantageous for quickly perfecting your employment qualifications, if your goal is to earn bonus points for a long-term visa, such as an F-2-7 (highly qualified) visa, permanent residency (F-5), or naturalization, completing KIIP is essential. If you have KIIP, you are considered to have Korean language skills, similar to TOPIK. Once you obtain KIIP, you can keep it as a lifelong qualification, but TOPIK must be renewed every two years. In reality, KIIP is a more highly regarded qualification in Korea, but KIIP requires some time, such as completing training, so those who want to get a job right away usually choose the TOPIK test. However, KIIP is absolutely necessary for permanent residency, so if you are interested in living in Korea, be sure to prepare KIIP as well. → Go to KIIP information Remember your 'Why' The TOPIK test isn't the end, but a stepping stone to a new beginning. Whenever you find yourself struggling with your studies, remember why you're studying Korean. Whether it's for employment, academic pursuits, or personal goals, it will be the driving force that leads you to success. When you step into the exam room, confidently demonstrate the skills you've honed. Jobploy is here to support your successful career in Korea.

In a previous article, I introduced three major mistakes foreigners commonly make when seeking employment in Korea. However, because they're so common and so potentially fatal, this article will focus on two additional mistakes. They're pitfalls many job seekers unknowingly fall into. The good news is that I can help you avoid these mistakes and navigate Korea's job market with more confidence. My workshops provide tools and strategies to address these challenges, helping you reduce stress and navigate your job search more effectively. If you're unsure how to define your target industry, feel overwhelmed by how to showcase your strengths, or feel overwhelmed by the entire job search process, this workshop will provide practical solutions tailored to your needs. Now, let's examine the remaining two mistakes. Mistake #4: Jumping into a competition without preparation. Many foreigners apply without understanding Korea's competitive job market. However, they often indiscriminately submit resumes to fields that don't meet their qualifications or are unrelated to Korean industry needs. This indiscriminate approach leads to repeated rejections and ultimately, frustration. As the saying goes, "The lawyer who wins a case is the one who prepares best for it." The same holds true for employment. Jumping into a competition without preparation is a surefire path to failure. Job hunting in Korea requires meticulous and meticulous preparation. Success hinges on thorough, customized preparation of every element—your resume, cover letter, and interview strategy. This isn't a market you can just leave to chance. The results will be proportional to your thorough preparation. Applying hastily without understanding the job market or approaching it without a strategy is essentially gambling with the future. Conversely, identifying high-demand industries, developing your skills, and strategically positioning yourself are ways to maximize your chances of success. I've learned this firsthand. Mistake #5: Failing to Identify and Emphasize Your Strengths Another common mistake foreign job seekers make is failing to properly identify or highlight their strongest skills. Instead, most use generic resumes and cover letters, failing to adequately explain why they are a uniquely qualified candidate. Korean companies value clarity and specificity. They prefer candidates who possess the exact competencies the company needs and can clearly demonstrate them. However, if you fail to identify and clearly articulate your strengths, you will miss out on opportunities, even if you are truly qualified. For example, if you have expertise in a specific field, such as coding, foreign language teaching, or supply chain management, you should actively emphasize the skills relevant to that position. Blurring or downplaying these skills will weaken your competitiveness. A clear and well-organized self-introduction effectively conveys your value to the company and significantly increases your chances of being hired. way out To avoid these mistakes, approach the Korean job market with the following strategies: ✅ Market Research: Identify industries actively hiring foreigners and connect them with your own capabilities. ✅ Competency Analysis: Identify your strengths and find connections with the Korean job market. ✅ Customized Support: Clearly highlight your unique capabilities in your resume and cover letter. ✅ Leverage expert advice: Even the best athletes need a coach. Rather than trying to learn everything on your own, seeking help from a proven professional is faster and more effective. This process may be a bit tedious and time-consuming, but it can help you differentiate yourself from the countless applicants who blindly try their hand at it. By avoiding the mistakes of blindly competing and underestimating your strengths, you will not only increase your chances of finding a job in Korea, but also build a sustainable and rewarding career.

Job hunting in Korea can sometimes feel like putting together a 5,000-piece puzzle, with all the pieces being the same blue. It's exciting, but it can also be incredibly frustrating. Especially if you're a foreigner who's new to the Korean job market, you've probably searched for "How to get a job in Korea" so often that typing just the second letter will automatically complete the search. Many foreign job seekers face similar challenges and repeat similar mistakes. But don't worry. Today, I'll share some of the most common mistakes I've personally experienced and learned from. If you avoid them, you too will find your dream job in Korea much more easily. Additionally, I share various other tips and know-how in the workshops I run, so if you're interested, please be sure to participate. Mistake #1: Applying without understanding the Korean job market. Applying to the Korean job market without a proper understanding is like showing up to a K-pop audition with just a ukulele and no choreography. You're failing to capitalize on your strengths. Korea's job market is heavily concentrated in industries that drive its export-oriented economy, such as engineering, marketing, foreign language services, and technology. These fields are also key markets for foreign talent. However, many job seekers miss out on opportunities by focusing on unrelated industries or fields that don't fit with Korea's economic structure. For example, while opportunities exist in the arts and humanities, they are far less numerous compared to the key industries that make Korea globally competitive. So, if you shift your focus toward IT, engineering, or language-based careers, you'll find yourself with even more opportunities. Korea, in particular, is a rapidly growing country in the technology sector, with a rapidly growing demand for skills in areas like artificial intelligence (AI), software development, and digital marketing. The need for foreign language experts remains high. Aligning your career goals with these fields can significantly enhance your competitiveness and boost your chances of employment success. Mistake #2: Underestimating the Importance of Networking In Korea, the saying "connections are everything" is often used. This is especially true when it comes to job hunting. Many foreigners rely solely on online job sites, but that's like searching for a treasure without a map. Networking is the key to discovering hidden opportunities in Korea. Some of you might be asking, "So where should I network?" Visit the KakaoTalk community I run. If you join through this channel, you'll find information about relevant events and gatherings. Networking isn't simply about exchanging business cards; it's about building genuine relationships that build trust. Attending industry events, job fairs, and community gatherings for foreigners can provide a variety of helpful resources, from practical information about jobs to recommendations and introductions. Sometimes, a single recommendation or introduction can lead to faster results than submitting dozens of online applications. Keep in mind that "60% competency + recommendation" can be more advantageous than "100% competency + no recommendation." Mistake #3: Ignoring Your Korean Language Skills Finding a job in Korea without learning Korean is like playing a game with only one hand. While fluent Korean isn't required for every job, even basic conversational skills can definitely be advantageous. Being able to speak even a little Korean demonstrates a willingness to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers and adapt to new environments. Korean companies highly value this "adaptive ability." Small things like offering simple Korean greetings during an interview or understanding common company terms can make a big difference. This also makes communication with colleagues much smoother, making you appear like a talent who can integrate well into the organizational culture. As you can see, job hunting in Korea is a complex process driven by a variety of factors. However, if you understand the market, actively utilize networking, and gradually improve your Korean language skills, you too can find your dream job in Korea. If you're looking for more detailed tips and practical strategies, consider joining my workshop. I'll generously share the know-how I've learned through trial and error.

Hello! This is Huong.😊 Today, I will show you a YouTube rural vlog taken by a Vietnamese person. I'd like to introduce it to you! First, let me introduce you to the cherry tomato project in Korea. This job involves cutting cherry tomato shoots. Because it is a very light task, it is suitable for women and the elderly . Here, you simply need to pick out and cut the tomato stems . However, tomato stems have a lot of small hairs , so a lot of dust is generated during work. So, you should wear a mask and a hat to prevent dust from getting into your eyes or nose ! ✅ Working hours: 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM ✅ Lunch time: 1 hour provided ✅ Dormitory: Those who come from far away can stay in the dormitory . If you're interested, please contact us! 😊 Next, I will introduce the process of planting garlic. This is a job that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can do. ✅ First, start by gently leveling the ground . You can do it by hand, or as shown in the video, you can use a machine to level the soil . ✅ Next, use a rake to level the surface of the furrow. If there are any weeds or stones, please remove them . ✅ The next step is to spread compost (manure) on the soil . This process helps the garlic grow healthily and quickly. ✅ Afterwards , lay the vinyl on the ground and cover it with soil using a shovel to secure it . This will prevent the plastic from blowing away in the wind. ✅ Lastly, plant the garlic seeds . Usually, the plastic has holes pre-drilled in it, so you just need to plant the seeds one by one in each hole! This is how garlic planting is done. It's not difficult, and anyone can do it if they learn slowly! 😊 Finally, let me introduce you to the ginseng harvesting process ! Ginseng is mainly harvested during the cooler season , and the work is done using a combination of machines and hand labor . ✅ First, use a machine to turn over the soil on the surface of the field , Next, the soil is lightly scraped away with a rake and the ginseng is harvested by hand . ✅ All you have to do is put the harvested ginseng in a bag or sack . The ginseng root may break while working, so the point is to handle it gently and not too hard 😊 ✅ After harvesting, there is also a process of sorting the ginseng according to its size and shape . This job is not too difficult, so anyone, whether male or female, can do it! At JOBPLOY, agricultural work is conducted continuously from March to December every year . If you live in Korea, you can apply for jobs no matter where you are! ✅ Generally, working hours are from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM . ✅ 1 hour lunch break is provided . ✅ The daily wage ranges from 90,000 to 120,000 won depending on the job description and gender . ✅ Dormitory rooms are also provided in double occupancy (for residents of remote areas). If you are looking for agricultural-related jobs, please contact us through the link below! I'll help you get a good job 😊💼🌱 ✨Nếu bạn có bất kỳ câu hỏi nào khác dành cho Hương, Vui lòng liên hệ với Jobploy Vietnam trên Facebook !

Hello! This is Huong.😊 Today, I'd like to introduce agricultural jobs ! The timing of field work varies depending on the season, and from March to May is the time to plow the field, apply fertilizer, and plant seeds. As the temperature rises, the full-scale farming begins. The farming season begins and crops grow from June to August , so it is important to water, remove weeds, and control pests and diseases. However, from September to November is the harvest season. Grains and vegetables are harvested and the fields are prepared for the next farming season. December to February is a difficult time for crops to grow, so it is the time to apply fertilizer and prepare for the next farming season. Depending on the time of year, the work process may also vary. The first step in starting field work is to prepare the soil . To grow good crops, you must first till the soil well and fertilize it. It's important to create a rich soil. In late winter and early spring, turn the soil deeply to loosen it. This process helps to aerate the soil and eliminates pests and weed seeds in the ground. The second step is sowing seeds and planting seedlings. After deciding which crops to grow, this is the stage where you sow seeds or plant seedlings. Depending on the size and characteristics of the seeds, they should be planted at an appropriate depth and spacing, and seedlings should be planted carefully to avoid damaging the roots. Next comes maintenance . Water the plants, remove weeds, and add fertilizer as needed to keep them healthy. Plants need to be supplied with the appropriate amount of water needed for growth, and each crop requires different amounts and water cycles, so care must be taken. And weeds can interfere with crop growth, so they should be removed regularly. Plants, like people, require nutrients. Appropriate nutrition must be provided according to the growth stage, and organic or chemical fertilizers must be used appropriately. Finally, there's harvesting and storage . Depending on the crop, harvesting can be done by hand or by machine. Vegetables must be harvested carefully, and grains require drying and storage. To maintain freshness, harvested crops must be stored in an appropriate location. From March to December, various types of farm work are available depending on the season, and can be done by men, women, and older people.

I encourage you to read this with a smile, because it will likely bring out many emotions you've experienced or will experience in the future. Don't tell me I warned you in advance 😀😅 Finding a job is no easy feat. Finding a job abroad is a whole other level of challenging. The job search process is like riding a roller coaster with no end in sight: exhilarating highs, nerve-wracking lows, unpredictable turns, and moments when it feels like the bottom is gone. For foreigners seeking employment in Korea, this roller coaster ride can feel even more intense due to cultural differences, language barriers, and navigating an unfamiliar job market. The image below illustrates this emotional journey step by step. After reading, please share in the comments where you are or have been in this phase. 1. Excitement: The Beginning of an Adventure You've decided to land your dream job in Korea. Your resume is polished to perfection, your confidence is at its peak, and you're ready to apply to jobs in Seoul (and maybe even all over Korea!). I refresh my inbox at least 15 times a day, thinking, "I'll get an interview invitation soon." I already picture myself in a tidy Korean office, sipping iced Americano and politely greeting my colleagues. Reality: It's so quiet. So quiet, I'm ready for disappointment to creep in. 2. Confusion: Why haven't I heard from you? A week passes, then another two weeks, and your mailbox remains desolate. You begin to wonder if the email has somehow disappeared into space, or if you've attached a meme instead of a resume. I search for topics like "How long does it take to hear back from a Korean company?" and console myself with the thought, "They're probably taking their time preparing a job offer tailored just for me!" I was so confused that I believed recruiters weren't responding to my emails because of my Gmail account. So I created a separate Naver email address and applied. Bottom line: It was a mistake. There was nothing wrong with Gmail. 3. Self-doubt: Am I qualified? After submitting 37 applications and not receiving a single response, self-doubt creeps in. "Is my Korean lacking? Should I have majored in something more practical? Why did I list a farm internship as my career?" You begin to question your entire life. Eventually, you even begin to question your own worth. 4. Anxiety: Am I missing something? At 3 a.m., I read the job posting for the twelfth time. I double-check to make sure I haven't missed any instructions like, "Please attach a cover letter of no more than 300 characters along with your resume." Family and friends also exacerbate the problem. Every time they ask, "Have you got a job?" or "How's your job search going?", they're reminded of their unemployment and feel sorry for those around them who might be expecting something from them. Bills keep coming, and I have no idea how to pay them. It's a really tough time. In my case, the anxiety was so intense that I even went into seclusion, like an ostrich burying its head in the ground. Every time I open my laptop and go to a job site, that weight suddenly hits me and I want to close the laptop, go back to bed, and pull the covers over my head. People around me tell me to "take a break," but it's hard to relax when you're already caught in the whirlpool of self-doubt. And it's even harder when the health insurance bill comes flying in... 5. Burnout: I can't do this anymore. I'm finally hitting rock bottom. The mere thought of having to write another cover letter makes me queasy. Keyword searches that used to be "Seoul marketing job openings" are now turning into "any job." Now, I spread negative energy by telling people around me, "It's so hard to find work in Korea." The emotional exhaustion deepens, and a sense of helplessness creeps in, leaving me with no desire to do anything. 6. Fear of trying: What's the point of trying? When a friend tells me about another job, I wave it off, saying, "It's not going to work out anyway, so why bother?" Just hearing the word "resume" makes me want to crawl back under the covers. But knowing that if I give up completely, my chances of landing a job are 0%, I reluctantly continue applying. My mind is already half-way there, so it's hard to express my passion in my applications. So, naturally, I get no response. Then, out of the blue, an interview offer comes in. 🤩 It briefly brings a surge of joy and hope, but when there's no word after the interview or you receive a rejection email, all your enthusiasm vanishes. Any remaining motivation is further eroded. 7. Uncertainty: Thoughts of 'what if...' "Am I being too picky?" "Or am I being too squeamish?" "Am I doomed to never be able to work in Korea and just live here?" All sorts of thoughts swirl around in my head. They range from "Should I just go back home?" to extremes like "Should I become a monk instead?" At this point, you start to doubt not only your ability to find a job, but also your entire life, the meaning of your existence, your values, and your self. 8. Impatience: Please hurry up! Finally, another reply arrived... an invitation to a group interview next month. I'm elated, but at the same time, I'm starting to feel a sense of impatience: "Why is it taking so long?" I want to start right away, but the Korean hiring process is often a long one. Every day feels like an eternity, and it's tempting to send an email saying, "Remember me? I'm the most amazing candidate! Please contact me soon!" 9. Breakthrough: Finally! And finally… the offer email arrives. Interview, acceptance, and finally, the final offer. Shaking hands, screaming, I send screenshots of the approval email to everyone I know. In that moment, all the stress and tears feel worth it. I'm finally ready to start my new job, and the iced Americano I've been dreaming of is just around the corner. Conclusion The journey of a foreigner seeking employment in Korea is an emotional rollercoaster, filled with twists and turns and life-changing moments. But ultimately, the journey is worth it. Every rejection, every self-doubt, and every sleepless night ultimately leads to where you belong. And when you finally get a job, you'll look back on the journey with pride and a little laugh. We all love a good roller coaster story, don't we? But you don't have to endure these feelings for months. That's why I support job seekers like you by developing effective strategies to avoid (or minimize) these feelings. With a solid strategy, many of these challenges can be addressed beforehand.

Hello! This is Huong.😊 Today, I'd like to talk about ' choosing a career' .^^ Indeed! What kind of job would be good for working in Korea? Understanding Korean society well can help us more effectively find opportunities that are right for us! For example, Korea is currently experiencing an aging society at a very rapid pace. The rapid increase in the elderly population is affecting various aspects of Korean society. As the influx of foreigners continues to increase, the multicultural society is accelerating. Amidst these changes, career fields such as SNS global marketer, nursing assistant, caregiver, and hospital coordinator are bound to receive active attention! I'm actually a nursing assistant, so I'm going to talk about this! ✅ What is a nursing assistant? While nurses mainly work in large hospitals, nursing assistants assist nurses in small hospitals such as clinics. Helps the hospital run smoothly through patient care, medical support, and administrative tasks. ✅ Obtain a nursing assistant license To obtain a license, you must complete at least 740 hours of theoretical education and at least 780 hours of practical education at a nursing school in each region. It took me about a year! Since this is a job that requires understanding medical terminology and communicating effectively, Korean language skills are obviously essential, right?! 😉 I was able to learn not only medical knowledge but also counseling skills and customer service. Despite working hard in practice There were some difficult parts because each hospital had a different method. If you have any difficulties, be sure to ask for help from people around you. It's better to do things accurately and calmly rather than rushing. It is very important to learn step by step and build your skills! I have always been a meticulous and thorough person. I enjoyed dealing with people and found it rewarding to help others! There are many difficult aspects, but I also thought it was a good fit for my aptitude. I chose this job because I thought it would be a necessary and important job even in Korea's current situation. As I mentioned earlier, the influx of foreigners into Korea is increasing. The role of healthcare professionals with foreign language skills is becoming increasingly important. If you have a nursing assistant license, you will not have much difficulty finding a job. You will be even more competitive if you have communication skills, especially for multicultural patients! I got a job at a hospital through Jobploy and am still working there! Thanks to that connection, I was able to post every Wednesday! Haha If you are also wondering which job to choose, Think about areas where you can best utilize your strengths! When choosing a job in Korea as a foreigner, think about the field you are good at and think it will be the most advantageous. There are fields where you can effectively utilize your foreign language skills along with global experience! Translation and interpretation specialists, foreign language instructors, and cultural instructors are all fields in which foreigners can demonstrate their great strengths! So, let's talk about how to choose a career! I hope many foreigners make wise choices and find fulfilling work! 💪 See you next time~ 👋 ✨If you have any further questions for Huong, Please contact Jobploy Vietnam on Facebook !
