Seoul opens career workshop for foreign residents

Finding a job in Korea can present many hurdles, from writing a resume to adjusting to the Korean workplace culture.

Seoul Gangdong Foreign Resident Center is opening introductory job preparation classes in July for foreign residents seeking employment in Korea.

The four-session program will cover resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, Korean workplace culture and hands-on experience in a real-life work environment.

Foreign residents from all districts in Seoul are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to applicants with F-series visas, including resident visas, overseas Korean visas and marriage migrant family visas.

Class dates and hours will be set based on a survey and announced later to selected participants.
