Hello! This is Huong.😎 Last time, we talked about what brought me to Korea. Today, I'm going to introduce how to use public transportation in Korea. 😊 What type of transportation do you mainly use in Korea? I mostly use buses and subways , but at first I had a lot of difficulties because I wasn't used to them. One of them is an episode that is still funny and absurd even when I think about it now. Haha One day, I was riding the subway home as usual. When the train arrived, I got on without thinking much about it, but I was surprised when I saw the name of the next station I was getting off at. Wouldn't it be a different station than the one I'm getting off at? Feeling something was wrong, I got off at an unknown station and asked the station attendant for help. At that time, my Korean was very poor, so I could barely get help by trying hard to express myself with all the words I knew 😅 Later I found out that the train I was on was an express train , and that I had missed the station near my house because only local trains stop there. It was my mistake for not knowing that there was an express train … I can talk about it with a smile now, but when I think about it, I still get cold sweats… haha If this is your first time using public transportation in Korea, you may experience a similar situation to mine! I'll tell you about a convenient way to use public transportation. Korea has a very well-developed public transportation system, so it's really convenient to use for traveling or everyday life! In particular, Seoul and the metropolitan area are well connected by subways, buses, and taxis, making transportation easy and fast. Transportation costs are reasonable, so it is a useful system for travelers! 1️⃣ Use the subway Korea's subway system is divided into five regions : the metropolitan area, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Daejeon . Each area is made up of several routes, and each route is color-coded and numbered for easy identification. If you want to use the subway efficiently, I recommend the app called 'Subway Terminator', which lets you check subway lines across the country at a glance! This app lets you set your departure and destination points to check routes, and also lets you view real-time routes. And, like me, you should check the difference between express and local trains before boarding so that you don't get confused, right? ^^ 2️⃣ Take the bus Buses in Korea are largely divided into city buses, express buses, intercity buses, and airport buses . When you arrive in Korea and travel from the airport to your destination, you will most likely use the airport bus ! You can purchase a bus ticket at the ticket office in the airport. After purchasing, be sure to check the time, boarding location, and seat number ! Conversely, when traveling from home to the airport, you can purchase a ticket at a nearby bus terminal , or You can also easily reserve tickets online through the app called ‘BusTago’ . This 'BusTago' app is very convenient because you can purchase tickets for not only airport buses but also intercity buses nationwide. When using city buses , I use the 'National Smart Bus' app. This app also lets you check nearby bus stops and bus arrival times in real time. 3️⃣ Take a taxi There are two main types of taxis in Korea! 🚖Regular taxi There are many different colors and types of cars. The most commonly seen taxis are yellow, but there are also sky blue (electric taxis), yellow (coupe taxis), and pink (women-only). 🚘Model Taxi Although it is more expensive than a regular taxi, it provides quality service. Mainly black colored cars are used. The easiest and most familiar way to catch a taxi is to wave your hand when a taxi passes by. This method won't work if there are no taxis passing by. In that case, you can call a taxi with the 'Kakao T' app! This is an app that is widely used among Koreans. You can call a taxi by setting the desired departure and arrival points. You can use it with confidence as it confirms not only the route of movement but also the taxi driver's face, vehicle number, and phone number . Additionally, if you register your card in advance on the app , payments will be made automatically, which is very convenient. So today, I shared information about how to use public transportation in Korea! How could I help you~? 😊 We will continue to share fun articles, useful information, and tips in the future, so please read on and enjoy! Thank you.^^ ✨If you have any further questions for Huong, Please contact Jobploy Vietnam on Facebook !

Hello! I am Huong from Vietnam. 😊 Today, I would like to share my story and why I came to Korea! These days, Korea is gaining popularity all over the world with K-dramas, K-pop, and even Korean food. I also fell in love with it and came to Korea. ㅎㅎ Since I was in elementary school, I started watching Korean dramas naturally when I watched TV with my mom and older sisters. Among all those dramas, I got hooked on the drama called "Full House" and got to know the singer Rain . Since then, I've been looking for Korean dramas and songs of my favorite genre and I've become more and more immersed in Korean culture. ^^ Did you come here because you have the same romantic notion of Korea as I do? At first, I was simply curious about Korean culture, but I gradually developed a strong desire to live there myself! In particular, Korean food and everyday culture were very appealing to me. Scenes like eating tteokbokki, eating dinner at a street food stall, and drinking soju with a lover in dramas gave me a tremendous sense of romance and anticipation. I started to dream that one day I would live in Korea like a scene from a Korean drama! I've been learning Korean like that for 10 years now and I'm living in Korean culture naturally. Haha. There have been so many things that have happened during the 10 years I have spent in Korea! Today, I will talk about what brought me to Korea. I will introduce my life in Korea step by step! Please look forward to the next article. 😊 ✨If you have any further questions for Huong, Please contact Jobploy Vietnam on Facebook !

📌What is a seasonal worker (E-8)? This visa allows for the short-term employment of foreign workers during certain seasons when there is a high demand for manpower in the agriculture and fishing industries. This visa is a system introduced by the Korean government to solve the problem of seasonal labor shortage in rural areas. The maximum period of stay is 5 months , and once the contract expires after that period, you must return to your home country . Since it is a short-term stay visa, the employer provides housing and basic living facilities, and the local government manages and supervises them.

Hello, this is Sophia. Today, I'd like to talk about the traditions of Korean workplace culture that foreign workers find difficult. Let's also look at some cultural points that foreigners who want to work in Korea should know in advance! Foreigners may wonder, “How did corporate culture form and develop in such a short period of time?” In fact, Korea’s modern corporate culture is a combination of traditional organizational culture and Western culture introduced during rapid economic growth, so it has a relatively “short and thick” history. Because they had to adapt to a rapidly changing environment in such a short period of time, Korean companies are quite capable of quickly adapting to new technologies and new markets. On the other hand, the culture of ‘teamwork’ and ‘dedication’ that was inevitably forced upon many companies due to rapid growth still remains in many companies. In the past, we would unconditionally stick together to achieve our goals, and if necessary, we would work overtime and burn with passion. The people who worked back then are now managers or executives in each company. So it’s inevitable that the old culture still remains. If you keep this historical background in mind, many of your questions about “Why does that person work that way?” will be answered. If you have any questions or difficulties about working in Korea in the future, please feel free to tell me at any time. I will always be here to help you :-) 1. The roots and understanding of traditional hierarchy Korean workplace culture has a distinct concept of 'hierarchy' that stems from Confucian traditions. In particular, you can often see that honorific expressions and attitudes change depending on age, position, and career. Use polite language: It is basic to always use polite language when speaking to superiors or seniors. It may feel unfamiliar, but this is a culture that comes from the tradition of valuing courtesy in hierarchical relationships. Decision-making style: Important decisions tend to be led by those above you. However, efforts to hear 'opinions from the field' have been increasing recently, so if you have your own ideas, don't be too intimidated and actively suggest them. Tip: At first, approach it with an attitude of respecting the hierarchy, but as you gradually become accustomed to the organizational atmosphere and build trust, it is better to cautiously express your own opinions or suggestions. The key is to find a “balance of respecting your colleagues, especially your superiors, while also expressing your own thoughts!” 2. Challenges and new trends of the younger generation In Korea, too, the culture is changing significantly as Generation Z (born after the mid-1990s) begins to enter the workplace. Preference for horizontal relationships: The culture of calling people by their first names or using nicknames, and the atmosphere of wanting to be evaluated based on 'performance and ability' rather than job title and seniority are spreading. Emphasis on personal growth and self-realization: The trend is changing to one where people want to gain diverse experiences while developing their job competencies rather than just working for a long time. Tip: In companies with a relatively young atmosphere or in business groups such as IT/startups, it is easy to express opinions to superiors without feeling pressured. However, if you go to a more traditional company (such as a large company), there may be generational differences or traditional cultures, so you need to understand the organizational culture well and be flexible in how you speak. 3. Adaptation points from the perspective of foreign workers One of the most difficult aspects of working in Korea is the 'supervisor-centered culture' and 'vertical communication style.' Also, there is a culture of naturally forming relationships over meals or company dinners, so you may often feel unfamiliar. Attitude toward the boss's opinion Rather than viewing what your boss says as “directions that must be followed,” it would be better to interpret it as an attempt to find a better direction through communication with you. However, since each company and each boss has a different style, it is safe to first show 'respect and courtesy', observe the situation, and gradually expand the scope of communication in your own way. Free expression of opinions Korean colleagues often find it refreshing when foreign colleagues actively express their opinions. You don't have to be too careful, but it's a good idea to express your opinions while avoiding direct expressions that may make the other person feel uncomfortable. Acknowledging cultural differences Many of the problems that organizations face stem from cultural misunderstandings. If your company has a “foreigner support department” or HR representative, it might be a good idea to ask for advice or feedback. Understanding Company Dinner Culture In Korean companies, there are many companies that have meals or drinks together as team activities. It is a place to promote friendship and cooperation. Although there has been a decrease in the pressure to drink these days, there may still be situations where you are asked to drink. If it is difficult to drink, you can be as polite as possible and gently ask for understanding by saying, “I am not feeling well today,” “I brought tea,” etc. 4. The importance of multicultural perspectives and coexistence As the number of foreign workers increases, a trend toward accepting a ‘multicultural perspective’ is gradually emerging in Korean workplaces. Some global companies are putting a lot of effort into bridging this gap through multicultural workshops and mentoring programs. Respecting different perspectives: I believe that Korean colleagues also gain new ideas and market information from their foreign colleagues, and an atmosphere of respect is gradually being formed. Do not unilaterally impose culture: Rather than ignoring the culture of each individual member of the organization or forcing each member's culture on others, we need to understand and respect each other's backgrounds and try to find common ground. Tip: If there are any areas that may be uncomfortable because you are a foreigner (e.g., excessive company dinners, decisions that are too boss-centered), it is a good idea to ask HR in advance or ask your team leader, “I don’t know much about this area, so I need help.” Being honest is a shortcut to building relationships without misunderstandings. 5. Balance between tradition and change: new possibilities Although Korea's workplace culture still has a 'hierarchical order', there is a growing movement toward a 'horizontal and multicultural organizational culture' as the number of young people and foreign workers increases. Ideally, we should maintain traditional courtesy and respect, but create a better organizational culture through open communication and self-expression. Mistakes and misunderstandings may occur during this process, but if you think of it as a cultural exchange process in itself, you will feel a little more comfortable. In the following article, we will take a deeper look at ‘hoe-siks,’ one of the representative characteristics of Korean workplace culture. Traditionally, it was a major means of strengthening solidarity and working relationships within an organization, but with recent generational changes and growing individualism, attitudes toward company dinners have also changed significantly. A company dinner culture that is considerate of foreign workers: There is a growing movement to reduce the types of food or alcohol that are forced on employees and to create a place where people respect each other's culture. If you have any questions about company dinner culture in advance, please feel free to ask. I will discuss it in more detail in the next article. I hope your life in Korea and your work life in Korea will be enjoyable and meaningful!

On November 27, 2024, the Ministry of Justice will temporarily ease the requirements for issuing visas for foreign skilled workers (E-7-4). ✔ Allows post-fulfillment of Korean language proficiency requirements Previously, foreigners who had worked for more than 5 years on a Non-Professional Employment (E-9), Seaman Employment (E-10), or Visiting Employment (H-2) visa had to meet the Korean language proficiency requirement in advance in order to switch to a skilled worker visa. However, this has been changed so that it is possible to switch to a skilled worker visa for a limited time until December 31, 2026 , and then meet the Korean language proficiency requirement within 2 years. However, family invitation is possible only after the Korean language requirement is met, and if the requirement is not met within 2 years, the period of stay can only be extended by 6 months. ✔ Relaxation of criteria for allowing foreign workers in the construction industry In order to resolve the difficulties in securing manpower for small construction companies, the construction capability evaluation amount has been added to the criteria for calculating foreign workers. Previously, the number of skilled workers that could be hired was allowed to be '0.1 foreign worker per 100 million won of annual average construction cost', but going forward, it will be allowed to be '0.4 foreign workers per 100 million won of construction capability evaluation amount'. ✔ Relaxation of requirements for non-metropolitan area residence Considering the preference for employment in the metropolitan area, the residency requirement for conversion to a skilled worker visa has been relaxed from 4 years to 3 years when there is a recommendation from the head of a local government in a non-metropolitan area.

JOBPLOY Resume Registration Tips! A guide to writing a resume that increases your chances of being hired! At Jobploy, you must register as a member and submit your resume to apply for various job openings . How you write your resume can have a huge impact on your chances of being hired! Below we will go into detail about how to register your resume. 01. Profile picture is the beginning of trust! The profile photo attached to your resume is an important factor in determining the first impression you make on recruiters. A resume with a profile photo is more memorable than one without a photo. Since recruiters are especially interested in whether foreign applicants can adapt well to the Korean organizational culture and work environment, it is important to convey trustworthiness and friendliness through your profile photo. It is better to choose a photo that feels neat and tidy rather than too casual, and a photo with a slight smile is good for a trustworthy and positive effect. 02. Write in Korean to increase your passing rate! If you are looking for a job in Korea, writing your resume in Korean is a basic way to make a good impression on recruiters. Writing in Korean serves as an important element in demonstrating the applicant's willingness and readiness to adapt to Korean culture and work environment. Even if your Korean skills are lacking, if you use a translator or show an effort to write in Korean using simple sentences that you know, this can leave a positive impression in appealing to the applicant's passion and potential for growth. 03. Be specific about your career and skills! When writing about your career history or skills, it is important to be as specific and detailed as possible. Rather than vaguely writing, “I have marketing experience,” it is better to write about specific achievements and your role, such as, “Increased followers by 30% through 3 years of media marketing experience.” The more detailed you are, the better it will help recruiters understand your international applicant's abilities. Korean language proficiency is also an important factor when working in Korea, so it is recommended that you include it. Even if you are not good at Korean, it is recommended that you include your will and passion to learn, showing that you are a foreign applicant trying to overcome the language barrier. 04. Keep your self-introduction short and impactful! The self-introduction should be able to convey the applicant's personality in an impressive way. Writing it too long can actually have the opposite effect. Because recruiters have to review multiple resumes, it's important to write them down so they can quickly get to the point. If you briefly and clearly summarize your strengths and your willingness to adapt well to Korean workplace culture and work methods, and convey one or two impactful experiences that you would like to emphasize, you will not only receive a positive evaluation, but also give the impression that you have clear goals and the ability to eliminate unnecessary parts. At the end of your essay, you can write about your ambitions, such as, “I want to use my abilities to contribute to the growth of your company and grow together with you.” or “I want to become a person who constantly learns and grows even in a rapidly changing environment.” This will elicit a positive response. 05. Don’t forget to choose your desired job and region! Jobploy recommends optimized customized job postings based on various data entered by foreign applicants. In particular, desired working conditions are an important factor in recommending customized job postings, so it is important to carefully check the desired job and region. Through these carefully set conditions, you can receive and apply for job postings that match your needs, thereby achieving a highly satisfactory employment. Your resume is an important resource for recruiters to understand you and an opportunity to appeal to them. Please remember that all the information provided reflects the foreign applicant's ability and will, and each detail can have a positive impact on the chances of being hired. We hope that Jobploy will be of great help to foreigners in achieving their dreams.😊

South Korea employs foreign workers through the Employment Permit System (EPS). An important concept in this process is the sending countries. Sending countries are countries that can officially dispatch workers to Korea and are countries that have signed agreements with Korea. Before leaving the country, workers complete training in Korean language, culture, and industrial safety in the sending country, and then obtain the necessary visas to enter Korea. This will allow foreign workers to work in Korea through systematic procedures. Countries that are not designated as sending countries have difficulty officially dispatching workers to Korea, so an agreement is required to send workers through this system. This system serves to provide a stable working environment for both foreigners wishing to work in Korea and their employers. 💙Country-specific broadcasting agencies ※ For more detailed information, please visit the Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Industry website.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor is accepting applications for employment permits for foreign workers (E-9) from October 7th to 18th! A total of 33,803 workers will be assigned, and employment is possible in various fields such as manufacturing, shipbuilding, agriculture, livestock, and forestry. In particular, from this round onwards, a new system of additional forestry workplaces will be implemented, providing a flexible work environment for both employers and workers.

👉 Minimum wage The Republic of Korea has a minimum wage system to guarantee a minimum level of wages for workers, ensure living stability, improve the quality of the workforce, and promote the sound development of the national economy. This also applies equally to foreigners working in Korea. 📍 The minimum wage in 2024 is 9,860 won (2.5% increase from the previous year) Based on 40 hours of work per week and 209 hours per month, approximately 2,060,740 won per month 👉 Holiday allowance Workers who work more than 15 hours a week are given one day off per week, during which they are entitled to holiday pay. This is equivalent to 120% of the minimum wage and is calculated as 'daily regular working hours X hourly wage'. Salaried workers receive holiday pay included in their monthly salary, while hourly workers receive it when they work more than 15 hours a week. ex) If you work 8 hours a day for 5 days a week, you will receive an additional daily wage of 8 hours X (hourly wage) 9,860 won = 78,880 won as holiday pay. 📍 The hourly wage including holiday pay in 2024 is 11,832 won 👉 Night shift allowance This applies only to workplaces with 5 or more employees, and is an additional 50% of the regular wage when working from 10 PM to 6 AM. ex) If you worked 5 hours at night, you will receive an additional 24,650 won, which is 50% of 5 hours X (hourly wage) 9,860 won = 49,300 won.
