What is my next step toward work in Korea?
Choose the question that fits you, compare published conditions, then decide whether to apply. Anyone may browse without an account.
Where should I start?
Start with your goal, not a visa label. A listing or an account does not grant entry, residence or permission to work.
While studying
Compare schedules, duties and travel time alongside your course. Use the student guide to prepare questions for your university and the employer.
Student work preparation →Before or after graduation: your first career
Start with entry-level vacancies or internships. Confirm language expectations, pay and what the employer will do if preparation or a status change is needed.
Explore entry-level roles →For experienced professionals and residents
Compare duties, seniority and working conditions. Confirm whether changing employer or occupation requires action in your individual circumstances. The service is not restricted to graduates of Korean universities.

What should I prepare for a first role?
One-minute plan
Compare a real role, show relevant experience, then review the recipient and conditions before you submit. Use the same sequence for a career move.
- Compare duties, language, pay, hours and workplace.
- Choose coursework, projects or experience that show fit.
- Check that the vacancy is open and what you will share.

Compare role conditions and note questions. You may save useful roles without applying.
Prepare evidence
Describe relevant coursework, projects or work. Add a short resume and portfolio only where useful. A saved resume stays private until you submit it to a chosen employer.
Review, then apply
Recheck the vacancy, employer and information you will share. Confirm permission and any required steps before starting work; applying alone is not permission.
Do I have permission to work?
Everyone can browse, but an employer statement, application or account is not permission to work. FindJobs does not issue immigration decisions, arrange permission or guarantee sponsorship.
How should I read the named status families?
Employer filters may name D-2, D-4, D-10, E-7, F-2, F-4, F-5, F-6 and Other. This is not a list of statuses that automatically permit every job.
- D-2 / D-4: student part-time work requires checking the applicable conditions and obtaining the required permission before work.
- D-10 / E-7: distinguish job seeking from employment. Check the permitted activities, role and any change or permission needed before starting.
- F-2 / F-4 / F-5 / F-6: do not treat all F statuses as interchangeable. F-2 subtypes and F-4 occupation restrictions need particular attention; check the rules that apply to your status and role.
What do the work-authorization filters mean?
- Current status considered
- The employer says it will consider that current status for this role. A change or permission may still be needed.
- Document cooperation
- An employer statement about helping with paperwork, not an approval or a promise of sponsorship.
- Not stated
- Unknown, not a rejection. Clear the specific filter to see these roles.
Where should I confirm before a start date?
