Hello to all foreigners residing in Korea, and to all foreigners wishing to enter Korea. Please be careful as illegal websites impersonating Korea's official electronic entry declaration site are currently being distributed. This applies not only to workers but to all foreigners. Important. Be suspicious if a site that is not official requests payment. Recently, the Immigration and Foreign Policy Headquarters of the Ministry of Justice announced that similar websites impersonating the official electronic entry declaration form have been identified. According to official guidelines, e-arrivalcard.go.kr is the only official website for the Republic of Korea's electronic entry declaration system, and any site requiring payment information input is not an official service. The Electronic Entry Declaration is a service that allows users to submit necessary information online prior to entering Korea. However, cases have recently been identified where websites use names or interfaces similar to the official site to make it appear as if they are government services, thereby inducing users to enter fees or payment information. The Ministry of Justice has advised the public to exercise extreme caution to prevent damages resulting from the use of such sites. It is especially important to remember that the electronic entry declaration service is free of charge . Official announcements also advise that if a similar site requests a monetary transaction, it may be an impersonation site, and emphasize that you must verify the public institution domain (go.kr) and the government mark when accessing the electronic entry declaration service. If you are preparing to file an electronic entry report, please check the following points first. First, check the address. The official website is e-arrivalcard.go.kr. It is safer to close it immediately if the address is even slightly different, or if you see an unfamiliar address when accessing it via a search ad or messenger link. Second, stop if you are prompted to make a payment or enter card information. The Ministry of Justice has clearly announced that any website requesting payment information is not an official service. Since the electronic entry declaration itself is a free service , you should first suspect the possibility of impersonation if you are prompted to make a payment. Third, do not click on links with unclear sources. Official announcements also advise against using URLs with uncertain sources. It is safer to access information through official guidance rather than clicking directly on ads at the top of search results, text messages, social media links, or community links. Even a small mistake during the entry preparation process can expose your personal or payment information. Those required to file an electronic entry declaration must verify that they are using the official site before proceeding. In particular, if you are a foreign job seeker, international student, or planning to visit, please be sure to share this information with your acquaintances. Recently, due to the development of AI, such fake sites are being distributed indiscriminately, so we ask for the caution of foreigners. Check various parts of the site to see other content and features, and double-check two or three times to make sure it is a truly credible site. Jobflowy will continue to quickly organize visa and immigration information based on official announcements that is truly helpful for foreign job seekers and residents.

Hello, this is JOBPLOY, a foreign job recruitment platform for all foreign job seekers looking for jobs in Korea. Many international students and job seekers face the daunting challenges of the Korean job market. From writing a Korean-style resume to navigating visa issues, there are numerous challenges that can be difficult to overcome on your own. Today, we're sharing an interview with an Indonesian member who, through JOBPLOY's intensive online and offline support, landed a job at Pepper & Salt, a company perfectly suited to her aptitude. Discover the secrets to shortening her job search and establishing a clear career path. Jobploy Real Job Interview Q. How did you first learn about Jobploy? I stumbled upon this platform while searching online for a job platform for foreigners in Korea. I learned that it offered both online and offline consulting services, and that the hiring manager (Teacher Yeo-ri) would provide direct assistance, which immediately piqued my interest. Q. What was your first impression when you first entered the site? It was much easier to use than I expected. I found the multilingual support especially useful. Even an Indonesian speaker like me was able to use the site in my native language. Even though I speak some Korean, I found myself reading important information in Indonesian. I found so much of the information I needed on the Jobploy platform, "Story." I felt strongly that this platform was meticulously designed for international users. Q. What specific functions did you mainly use? I used the location filter feature a lot. Since I live in Seoul, I could only see job postings in the city. I also appreciated the ability to filter only those eligible for my visa type, saving me from wasting time filtering out unnecessary postings. Q. Were there any moments that were difficult or blocked? To be honest, before I met Jobploy, I had a difficult time. I had no idea how to write a resume tailored to Korean companies, and I had no idea what skills I should highlight. But after meeting Yeori at Jobploy, things changed dramatically. We met in person, and through an interview, she drew out my experience and capabilities, and based on that, she guided my resume. It felt like all the areas I had been uncertain about were finally being sorted out. Q. On the other hand, what was particularly impressive? It's not just about "matching me with a job." Initially, I thought I'd be fine as long as I found a job anywhere. Jobploy recommended companies that suited my experience and personality, and they offered me unwavering advice throughout my selection process. It wasn't like they were just "sending me anywhere and done with it." It felt like they were working with me to find a place I could thrive in. Their meticulous attention to detail was truly impressive. Q. What do you think is the biggest difference compared to other job platforms? The biggest advantage is the availability of offline consulting. Most platforms require applicants to apply for a job posting on their own, but Jobploy has professional consultants who work with them to develop a strategy. Instead of struggling to write a resume on their own, we collaborated, received feedback, and continually refined it to improve it. For foreigners unfamiliar with the Korean job market, this kind of close support makes a huge difference. Q. What was the final result? I currently work at a company called Pepper & Salt . It's a company focused on IP, VMD, and MICE, and I collaborate with characters and YouTubers to create merchandise and plan pop-up events. I wanted to work directly, meeting new people, and getting things done, rather than just sitting at a desk. This is exactly the kind of job I was looking for. I think it was possible because Jobploy accurately identified my experience and personality and matched me with this company. 👉🏻 What kind of company is Pepper & Salt? Q. Lastly, do you have any words of advice for those who are currently preparing for employment? Especially if you're pressed for time, like with a D-10 visa, don't struggle alone. Contact Jobploy immediately. I registered with Jobploy and got a job within two months. It's much faster and more efficient to start the right way from the beginning than to waste time trying to do it alone and get exhausted. You'll save time and get much better results.
