Will I be able to find a job in Korea?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Korea, they reponded...
"Changwon is an industrial city. There are many large factorys. Main products are automotive, heavy equipment, appliances and avation. There are many opportunities to teach English all over Korea," said another expat in ChangWon, Korea.
"The majority of expats are employed in the EFL industry. As is true throughout Korea, these jobs are easy to find and are readily available. As mentioned before, the science and technology sector employs some foreigners too, but the job market is quite competitive. Finding a job in Daejeon (EFL industry) is probably best done through a recruiter. They have the best access to the highest number of jobs and can place you accordingly. Most expats don't "choose" Daejeon when they first arrive, but there is a decent number who stay here after their first year," wrote a member who made the move to Daejeon, Korea.
