Questions people ask
My Korean is weak. There are courses combining Korean classes with vocational training. Ask a Family Center.
I have no time to work because of my child. Discuss childcare and employment support together. Part-time placements exist too.
I'm on F-6 — are there employment restrictions? F-6 has almost none. See the f6-visa-basics guide.
Are there jobs that use my home language? Interpretation and translation, multicultural and bilingual instruction. Ask Saeil Centers and Family Centers.
I feel discriminated against at interviews. Hiring discrimination based on nationality can be reported to 1331 and 1350.
Take care
Beware places charging a fee to "get you a job". Public employment support is free. Always get a written labour contract and check the terms before starting.
