“I hope I stand a better chance abroad,” Jung told the Korea Herald after the interview on Sept. 6. A graduate from a four-year university in Busan, she spent almost a year studying English in Canada.<br/>
If successful, she would be working in New Zealand for the Korean businessman who is seeking to expand his food and beverage business there. <br/>
The company was one of 17 employers participating in Korean government-backed K-Move Overseas Job Fair organized by Human Resource Development Service of Korea.<br/>
Elusive jobs at home <br/>
Jung fits one of two typical profiles of job seekers turning their eyes abroad -- a female graduate of a lesser-known university from outside Seoul. <br/>
And it also represents the most marginalized group in Korea’s job market for college graduates. They are also the ones taking the heaviest hit from the local economy’s slowdown. <br/>
Korea’s youth jobless rate soared to 9.3 percent last month, a record high for the month of August. Long-term unemployment – joblessness lasting over 6 months like Jung -- is approaching a level last seen in the height of the biggest economic crisis in Korea in the late 1990s. <br/>
“There are few jobs to apply for in Busan, and even fewer high quality openings,” Jung said. <br/>
A veteran career expert at a Seoul-based university is an eyewitness to the deterioration in the country’s job market for fresh graduates. <br/>
“The job market has gotten worse in terms of size and quality in recent years. That’s for sure,” she said. <br/>
“Under such circumstances, female job seekers face more difficulties as some companies still shun them, citing the higher employment costs, such as maternity leave.” <br/>
According to the HDR Korea, 55 percent of those who found employment in foreign countries last year were women -- 1,605 out of the total 2,903. The actual size of overseas employment is believed to be higher than the HRD tally. <br/>
“Graduates from lesser known schools are more eager to find opportunities abroad,” said Lee Woo-jin, director of HRD’s overseas job support programs. <br/>
In Korea, the university ranking is a major factor determining one’s chances at getting a job or the quality of jobs he or she will be getting. But the school’s name value doesn’t mean much for overseas employers, he explained. <br/>
Fed up with Korean work culture <br/>
Among Jung’s competitors for the New Zealand firm was Shin Mi-ran, a 29-year-old designer who graduated from one of Seoul’s top schools. <br/>
Shin, who wished to use a pseudonym because she was still employed, represents another set of job seekers turning overseas. <br/>
She has a well-paying job at a design company but wants to escape “hell Joseon,” a satirical expression used by young Koreans to describe the country’s socioeconomic conditions – including the world’s highest suicide rate, low birthrate and soaring youth unemployment. Joseon is the name of Korea’s last dynasty. <br/>
“I want some balance between work and life but it seems to be impossible with frequent overtime work (in South Korea),” Shin said. “Furthermore, I feel I have hit the glass ceiling at work and I am the only female on my team.”<br/>
Data from the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation reveals that South Korea’s working environment is one of the toughest. <br/>
The country has the longest working hours only after Mexico. Its gender wage disparity is also the widest among 36 member states, with women earning 36.7 percent less than their male counterparts as of 2014. <br/>
Reality of overseas jobs <br/>
The reality of overseas employment often belies expectations. <br/>
Moon Jae-woo, 28, was one of the lucky ones who landed a job in Singapore. But he flew back to Seoul earlier this week, ending his overseas career that began in November 2015.<br/>
“I originally planned to work in Singapore longer and I even paid 3.5 million won in fees to a famous job agency,” said Moon. <br/>
Moon, a graduate from a Seoul university with a degree in electronic engineering, worked as a bellboy at a hotel in Singapore. <br/>
He thought doing a bellboy job in an English-speaking country was better than not working at all in Korea. It would help him improve his English at least, while bringing in some money. But his English has not improved as much as he expected and he had to struggle to make ends meet.<br/>
Whether it’s for frustration at home, genuine desire for a different work experience, or simply learning English, more and more South Korean young people are seeking jobs abroad. <br/>
The Korean government has also been encouraging them to broaden their search to outside Korea. <br/>
In 2008, it launched an initiative to assist Korean youth’s global job searches, with a goal of sending a total of 100,000 young people abroad via internships, volunteer opportunities and permanent employment between 2009 and 2013. <br/>
The government allocated billions of won every year and various ministries and government agencies ran dozens of programs. <br/>
The efforts, however, bore little fruit. <br/>
Overseas internships, in the vast majority of cases, failed to lead to a regular job and many of those who were successful in getting regular employment were in low-paying, menial employment. <br/>
Government resources spent on assisting job seekers financially and non-financially to get an internship overseas, meanwhile, ended up benefitting private brokers who linked job applicants and overseas employers. <br/>
Amid such criticism, the Park Geun-hye administration eliminated most of the internship programs and merged them into HRD’s K-move program in late 2013. <br/>
Lee of HRD explained that K-Move now puts a greater focus on the quality of jobs and credentials of employers. <br/>
“We want our young generations land a good quality job overseas,” he stressed. <br/>
Moon, the former bellboy, is not skeptical about overseas employment, particularly as finding a job here is so tough.<br/>
“I believe my experience in Singapore may increase my chances of finding a job here. If it doesn’t, I may try another foreign country for a job.”<br/>
Neither Jung and Shin got the New Zealand job, the two informed this paper last week.<br/>

“I just finished submitting resume and cover letters for three companies this week, and I plan to apply to about two more next week,” said Jeong Su-ji, a senior at Konkuk University in Seoul. <br/>
“Now I have to prepare for the personality and aptitude test of each company. I feel quite stressed,” she said. <br/>
In Korea, almost all major business groups, including Samsung, Hyundai Motor, SK, LG and Lotte, require job applicants to take their own entrance exam, developed exclusively for each group and typically divided into two sections -- personality and aptitude tests. <br/>
Samsung Group, Korea’s No. 1 conglomerate and college grads’ all-time favorite, will hold its Global Samsung Aptitude Test, or GSAT, on Oct. 16 in Seoul and four other metropolitan cities in Korea along with New York and Los Angeles.<br/>
The dates for LG, Hyundai Motors and SK are set for Oct. 8, Oct. 9, and Oct. 23, respectively. <br/>
In 2014, Samsung saw a record number of test takers. Roughly 100,000 people sat each of two exams that took place in spring and fall that year. Stung by increased recruiting costs and concerns over the ever-intensifying competition for a Samsung job, the group decided to tighten resume screening and reduce the pool of candidates advancing to the written test. <br/>
Still, tens of thousands are expected to take the Samsung exam this fall again, although the group declined to disclose the exact number. <br/>
It also refused to disclose the number of people it plans to hire, although multiple sources say it is likely to stick to a similar scale of recruitment as last year. <br/>
“Group-wide, we hired about 14,000 employees last year,” a Samsung spokesperson said. “We can’t disclose this year’s numbers.” <br/>
GSAT is required for applicants to work at nearly 20 Samsung Group companies, including the world’s largest smartphone-maker, Samsung Electronics. Those applying for software development positions are required to take a different test. <br/>
There are private cram schools to prepare for the Samsung test. Questionnaire books for GSAT and other company’s aptitude tests occupy an entire section of Seoul’s largest bookseller Kyobo Book Center. <br/>
The GSAT requires test takers to answer 150 questions in 140 minutes, divided into five sections: verbal, quantitative and analysis, logical reasoning, visual thinking, and basic job knowledge. <br/>
A mock question of the visual thinking part asks test takers to select the final figure of a pentagon after it is folded in five different directions, then flipped upside down. <br/>
“I felt lost practicing visualizing the final shape of the presented figure after it is folded as described,” recalled a former examinee surnamed Hong, who applied for Samsung Electronics’ marketing unit this spring.<br/>
“I couldn’t draw any correlation between marketing and the ability to visualize shapes.”<br/>
Samsung Group explained that the visual thinking segment was incorporated to “evaluate logical thinking through questions that require in-depth analysis of various information at one time.” <br/>
Applicants who pass the GSAT will be notified of a date for an interview, which should take place sometime between November and December. <br/>
The interview consists of three parts that take 30 minutes each: giving a presentation on a question related to the applied field, answering questions spontaneously and participating in an in-depth interview conducted by executive-level officials. <br/>
Samsung is expected to announce the final results after late December, ending the three-month long process.<br/>
The recruitment process is quite a journey for those who applied for LG’s marketing or sales departments.<br/>
After the entrance exam and job interviews, LG Display announced that it will conduct a four-week internship in November for these applicants, as part of its fourth stage of evaluation. In early December, it will hold a four-day final assessment, and release the final results in mid-December.<br/>

“I could not get a job last spring (even) after being rejected 10 times,” Chung told The Korea Herald after sending applications to two conglomerates. “I cannot help but apply for random recruiters now to raise my chances of landing a job.” <br/>
Amid the tough job market, Chung is one of millions of job seekers struggling to find employment despite having seemingly sufficient qualifications. <br/>
A shortage of quality jobs for highly educated job seekers on the back of the continued economic downturn has pushed job seekers to state more credentials in their resumes to differentiate themselves.<br/>
The trend has coined a new term “spec,” which is short for “specifications,” referring to qualifications such as educational background, grades, English test score, volunteer activities and career experiences listed on a job candidate’s resume. <br/>
The conventional recruiting process at major companies demands job seekers submit application forms including photos, qualifications and personal statements. Only a handful of candidates successfully advance to the final rounds of interviews after thousands of applications are screened based on their specs. <br/>
“Now, everyone seems to have similar specs. I don’t know what else I can do to set myself apart from other candidates,” Chung said. “While focusing on filling my resume with all these credentials, I have less time to learn about companies and positions I apply for.” <br/>
As part of last-ditch efforts, Chung is now on a diet and takes profile pictures every six months, as she believes that the appearance of female job candidates matters in the hiring process. <br/>
Park Sung-joon, a 27-year-old student of engineering at a Seoul-based university, also echoed similar frustrations. <br/>
“It takes at least a year to equip myself with all the specs, though I don’t think they are necessarily relevant to jobs I want,” said Park, referring to requirements that ask for certificates on one’s knowledge of Chinese characters or Korean history. <br/>
With the fierce competition among job seekers, young undergraduates like Park spend much of their time and money trying to gain these specs even when they are not necessarily relevant to jobs. <br/>

This means a lot to college graduates and graduates-to-be who have been polishing their resumes to near-perfection for this fall’s recruitment season. <br/>
Samsung, LG, SK or Hyundai companies, the four largest groups that account for roughly 50 percent of the economy, are the most favored by young job seekers here, with stability, name value and high pay. <br/>
The competition for dream jobs already seems as fierce as it can get. <br/>
Good grades, English proficiency test scores supplemented by a year of studying in an English-speaking country and some internship experience are just small endeavors -- some job seekers go as far as going under the knife to look more confident and attractive in photos. (Many Korean companies require job applicants to submit their photos in the resume screening round.)<br/>
In Seoul, there are private cram schools to prepare for written personality and aptitude tests, which are part of the recruiting process at Samsung and most other big companies. <br/>
Tens of thousands will congregate this October at designated exam sites throughout the country for the Samsung exam, which takes place twice yearly. <br/>
Samsung Group had to tighten its resume screening to reduce the number of candidates advancing to the exam round, after it saw a record 200,000 examinees in 2014 for about 14,000 job openings. <br/>
In this ever-intensifying competition, female graduates from lower-ranked universities outside Seoul suffer most and some turn to overseas jobs. <br/>
Even those who succeed in landing a permanent job jump on the bandwagon, seeking job opportunities abroad. Some want to broaden their perspectives through overseas experience, but in many cases, disillusionment with the so-called dream jobs is the true motive.
But can overseas employment be a real escape for the agonized Korean job hunters? <br/>
This week, Weekender brings you the stories of college graduates preparing for the crunch time fall recruitment season, along with their aspirations and frustrations. <br/>
