5 Sites to Find Jobs in Korea

Image
When I was looking for jobs in Korea, I heard from several of my peers where to find them. I tried them out, and they are quite legitimate. Some of them require you to have a bit of knowledge in the Korean language. You need to know how to read hangeul. But apart from that, they work just like the usual job site you would find in any country. Here are some of the job sites I used while looking for jobs in Korea. 1. Saramin The most popular job site in Korea for both Koreans and foreigners is Saramin. When you search for jobs on Saramin, it allows you to filter based on the area or field of expertise, the location or region where you prefer to work, and keywords if you have a specific job or criteria in mind. Saramin also gives you job recommendations based on your profile and resume. Not only that, but employers think highly of Saramin because of its track record and credibility. 2. Jobkorea If you have no luck finding a job in Saramin, you can try out the second best site I have found

3 Tips on How to Become a GKS Scholar

I studied in South Korea for three years under the Global Korea Scholarship Program or GKS, formerly known as the Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP). The GKS program provides opportunities for people all around the globe to learn the Korean language, be exposed to Korean culture, and do their undergraduate or post-graduate studies in South Korea. It has a rigorous selection process which lasts for approximately six months from the time you apply until you fly to Korea, if you are fortunate to be selected as one of the scholars under the program. Each year, the Korean government opens the application period for the undergraduate program around August or September, and for the graduate programs in February. Generally, thousands of people apply every year, although that number may have increased since the popularity of Korea surged in recent times, but only a handful get selected. So, the question that I have received occasionally is, "How do I become a GKS scholar?".
