❌ Things to Avoid in a Korean Job Interview

1️⃣ Very Short or Unprepared Answers

Q: “Why did you apply to our company?”❌ “Just because… I think it’s a good company.”

→ Too short or vague answers make you seem unprepared or uninterested.

✅ Better:“I saw your ○○ project and thought it matched my experience and skills.”

2️⃣ Speaking Negatively or Blaming Past Jobs

Q: “Why did you leave your previous job?”❌ “My boss was terrible.” or “Too much stress.”

→ Negative answers can make you seem unprofessional or irresponsible.

✅ Better:“I wanted to find a place where I can grow more.” or“I left for a new challenge.”

3️⃣ Talking Only About Visas or Salary

Q: “What are your plans after joining?”❌ “I need a visa.” or “Because the salary is high.”

→ Companies prefer people who truly want to work with them, not just for benefits.

✅ Better:“I want to work in Korea long-term and grow with your company.”

4️⃣ Saying “No Questions” Without Thinking

Q: “Do you have any questions about our company?”❌ “No.”

→ It may seem like you’re not really interested.

✅ Better:Prepare one question in advance! For example:“What are your plans for expanding into international markets?”

5️⃣ Avoiding Eye Contact or Speaking Too Softly

• If you don’t look at the interviewer or speak too quietly,you may appear nervous or hard to communicate with.

✅ Smile gently, speak clearly and slowly.You don’t need to stare — just show you’re listening with eye contact and nodding 😊
