On the afternoon of the 3rd, Lotte Mart and Lotte Super held an online live recruitment briefing session through Lotte Group’s recruitment YouTube channel, ‘Elikur TV’. Recruiters and job managers introduced the job roles and required competencies, and current employees directly answered applicants’ questions and gave advice. Applications can be submitted through the Lotte Group recruitment website until 11 PM on the 12th.

Lotte Mart’s recruitment is conducted through the general track (IT Planning, Big Data) and the internship track (MD, Design), and applicants cannot apply for both tracks simultaneously. The general track hires successful candidates directly without an internship, and they must be able to join by October. The internship track involves an 8-week internship in November and December, with employment starting in January next year.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, a job talk with current Lotte Mart employees is being held on 'Elikurt TV,' Lotte Group's recruitment YouTube channel.

In the Lotte Mart current employees’ job talk, ‘communication skills’ were highlighted as the most important competency. Jang Hyun from the Big Data Team said, “It may sound obvious, but communication is a common essential skill,” emphasizing, “Because we work by communicating with all teams across the company.” Lee Hwa-seok, an MD, said, “MDs meet various people externally such as partners and internally other teams,” adding, “You need to maintain good relationships with related departments and partner representatives and have negotiation skills to get what you want.” Baek Joo-hyun from the Design Team said, “The most important skill for new employees is communication skills. If you reflect this well in your self-introduction or interview, you will get good results.”

Regarding the number of recruits, Lotte Mart stated, “It is the largest scale in the company’s history since the first half of 2015.” About qualifications and experience, they explained, “Language skills, certifications, and contest awards are not mandatory,” and “Since this is a new employee recruitment, experience is not very important. It is enough to think about what you learned through part-time jobs, clubs, or external activities that college students can easily access, and how you can apply that to the job when preparing your documents or interview.”

On the afternoon of the 3rd, the Lotte Super Q&A segment is being held on 'Elikurt TV,' Lotte Group's recruitment YouTube channel.

Lotte Super conducts recruitment-linked internships in three job roles: ‘General Management’ which establishes business strategy direction, ‘MD’ which sources products, and ‘Store Planning’ which designs store layouts. During the internship period, interns work in the respective departments and can be converted to full-time employees through training and evaluation.

In the Lotte Super Q&A corner, honest questions and answers were exchanged. Oh Yoo-geun from the Data Marketing Team said about job-related experience, “I majored in Public Administration and had no experience related to marketing,” advising, “We are not hiring experienced workers. Even if you have no related experience, if you have the attitude to learn, you can become a good talent.” Regarding dress code for commuting, he humorously answered, “I have never been reprimanded about my attire, and it’s quite free. I wore short-sleeve T-shirts and jeans in summer,” adding, “There are even people with silver hair in other teams.”
