[New Release] 'The Backbone of Getting a Job at Foreign Companies'... Know-How Shared by Industry Insiders

'The Backbone of Employment' Part Two, 'Foreign Companies' Published
Comprehensive Summary of Key Employment Information Including Salaries and Status of Korean Branches

A guidebook that foreign-affiliated company job seekers would find useful to read at least once has been released.

This book is the second volume following 'The Framework of Employment in Business and Economics Fields.' While the first volume was a job-focused employment textbook, the second volume is a company information-centered employment dictionary.

In particular, it organizes foreign-affiliated company information, which was hard to find anywhere on websites, job portals, or public disclosures and caused frustration for job seekers, in a clear and concise manner thanks to the efforts of three authors who have worked in the same industry for over 20 years.

The authors disclosed a list of foreign-affiliated companies in Korea with more than 300 employees at their Korean branches and an average monthly salary of over 5 million KRW. According to the information revealed by the authors, these include Oracle Korea, Synopsys Korea, Lam Research Korea, BASF Korea, Robert Bosch Korea, Continental Korea, and others.

The authors mention that these companies may be unfamiliar to job seekers, noting that when people usually think of foreign-affiliated companies, they tend to recall well-known firms like Google, Netflix, Coca-Cola, and L'Or?al. However, this often leads to extremely high competition and makes employment difficult. Ultimately, someone well-informed about company information quietly succeeds in getting hired and can win easily in what is almost a non-public arena.

Also, they organized the 'Global Top 20 Companies' by industry to provide an overview of the entire sector. They selected 3 to 4 companies per industry that job seekers should pay attention to and described them in detail. For a total of 36 companies across 12 industries, they included as much information as possible about the atmosphere of the domestic branches and hiring tips.

Especially, the success stories of nine current employees contain detailed accounts from seniors who got hired by foreign-affiliated companies, serving as an 'employment bible' for job seekers. Additionally, resumes and other documents essential for applying to foreign-affiliated companies are attached as appendices, divided into cases for new graduates and experienced professionals.
