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. 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. 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 get a positive response by writing 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.” 04. 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.

Foreign workers who enter South Korea through the Employment Permit System may experience significant differences in language, culture, religion, climate, food, and lifestyle.

Below, we will introduce some useful information about foreign workers through the image.

What is the Special Employment Permit System? A system that allows employers of businesses or workplaces, as determined by the Foreign Workforce Policy Committee in consideration of the characteristics of each industry, to hire foreign nationals who have entered the country with a visa for visiting work (H-2). ✔ If a foreign national with special employment privileges (foreign nationals of Korean descent, H-2) seeks employment in a business or workplace that falls under an allowed industry such as the service industry, he or she must receive employment training necessary for employment activities from a foreign employment training institution (Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Industry) prior to applying for a job. ※ The employment training hours for foreigners with special employment privileges (foreign nationals, H-2) are not training conducted under an employment-dependent relationship with the employer. This is not labor provision under the Labor Standards Act. ※ For information on online job training, please be sure to read the “Online Job Training System Guide” in the notice. ✅ Job training ◾ Target: Foreigners with special employment privileges who enter the country with an H-2 visa (or who obtain an H-2 visa in Korea) and seek employment ◾ How to apply: Online application ◾ Cost: Non-residential (new) 127,500 won / Re-entry 75,000 won ◾ Location: Job training center operated by Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Industry ◾ Content: Training time - New 16 hours (3 days), Re-entry 6 hours (1 day) Curriculum - Understanding Korean language and culture, employment permit system (information on signing up for various insurances), labor laws such as the Labor Standards Act, basic skills, etc., necessary for adapting to life in Korea ✅ Guide to applying for job training ◾ Confirmation of receipt and printing of receipt - Log in to the website of overseas Koreans > My Page > Check employment training receipt and refund history > Click [Print receipt] button ◾ Virtual account job training fee deposit deadline - Until 12:00 PM the next day from the date of receiving the virtual account number * If you do not pay the job training fee by the deadline, your job training application will be automatically cancelled. * When depositing money into a virtual account, a deposit fee set by each bank may be charged when depositing money at a counter or using an automated machine. ◾ Other inquiries - If you are unable to apply for a refund, please contact the Foreign Workforce Counseling Center at 1577-0071. - If there is an error during payment or the refund account entry fails, please contact Toss Payments Electronic Payment at 1544-7772.
