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 postings. 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! Profile photos on a resume are a very important element that determines the first impression of the applicant. Recruiters are particularly interested in whether foreign applicants can adapt well to the Korean organizational culture and work environment. Attaching a profile photo will help you make a good impression by making you seem more approachable and easier to remember. 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. 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 capabilities. It is recommended that you include your Korean language proficiency level, as this is an important factor when working in Korea. Even if you are not good at Korean, it is recommended that you include your will and passion to learn, showing that you are making an effort to overcome the language barrier. 03. 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 aspirations, 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. 04. Don’t forget to choose your desired region and job! This is also a section where you can show your goals and intentions, including what kind of job you want and where you want to work. By selecting a location of your choice, you are showing that you are ready to work in a specific area of ​​Korea, and you are also showing that you are interested and passionate about the job. This creates a better hiring opportunity for both you and the company. A resume is an important document that allows recruiters to understand me and is an opportunity to appeal to me. 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. For more information, please visit Employment24 . ▶Article Contents

Foreign workers who enter South Korea through the Employment Permit System may experience significant differences in language, culture, religion, climate, food, and lifestyle. This can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts, but it is important to make an effort to prevent this and understand each other. In particular, helping foreign workers who have come to Korea for the first time to understand and adapt to Korean culture will be successful communication and cooperation. Below, we will introduce some useful information about foreign workers through the image.

On the [Easy-to-Find Living Law Information] site operated by the Ministry of Government Legislation of the Republic of Korea Provides detailed legal information related to the employment and employment of foreign workers. It includes the residence qualifications required for foreigners to legally work, types of visas available, and related legal procedures. This information will be useful not only to foreign workers, but also to employers who wish to hire foreign workers. In addition, it is explained in an easy-to-understand manner, from card news viewed through images to question-and-answer explanations using case examples. Multilingual translation services are provided to provide foreigners with convenient access to information. Click on the image to see more details! ▶

👉 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.

⭐What is a regionally specialized visa program? This project was created because we believed that a vicious cycle of population decline in local areas, decline in regional vitality, and social outflow of population due to low birth rates, aging population , and concentration of population in metropolitan areas was continuing, and that a response was needed at the level of foreign policy. We also judged that customized visa issuance was necessary by reflecting the exact needs of local governments and regions in establishing foreign visa policies. Accordingly, the project is being implemented in areas with high population declines that are highly receptive to local residents. >The Ministry of the Interior and Safety designated 89 areas with population decline based on the '21.10 8 indicators' *annual average population growth rate, population density, youth net migration rate, weekly population, aging rate, child ratio, crude birth rate, and financial independence , and 66 local governments were selected.
