We will explain it in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Find a part-time job in Korea on Albachonkuk and Albamon<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a<a href=\"https:\/\/gogohanguk.com\/en\/blog\/get-a-korean-student-visa\/\"> D-4 student visa<\/a>, it is possible to work part-time in Korea for up to 20 hours per week, after the first 6 months of language training.

In order to access the various jobs and see the details, you will have to register on the site first. You can also download the <\/span><b>app<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your mobile phone, if it is more convenient for you to navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that it is <strong>important to have a basic level of Korean<\/strong> to be able to find a part-time job in Korea and communicate with customers, colleagues and employers. Additionally, you will need at least a TOPIK 2 or higher to work up to 20 hours a week. Not having a TOPIK score or having just\u00a0 TOPIK 1 only allows you to work up to 10 hours a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23077 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gogohanguk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Albamon-lavoro-part-time-in-Corea-1024x463.png\" alt=\"Albamon to find a part-time job in Korea\" width=\"798\" height=\"361\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Search<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can search by job type, search by <\/span><b>\ube0c\ub79c\ub4dc\uc54c\ubc14<\/b><b> &#8220;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand part&#8221; (restaurant, customer service, cosmetics, etc.) or directly by <\/span><b>\ucc44\uc6a9\uc815\ubcf4<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (job type).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicking on one of the &#8220;brands&#8221; will take you to another page where you can select your preferences, related to the duration of the job or the daily schedule.

The level of Korean is not indicated because, as mentioned before, it is a recruitment site for Koreans, so it is assumed that you already know the language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to find a part-time job in Korea, we recommend that you register on the site first. If so, you can apply for the job immediately without having to spend time filling in all your details. Sometimes it is enough to attach your <\/span><b>CV\/resume in Korean<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, other times it is possible to fill one out online directly on these job search platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fill in your CV\/resume online, you will need to click on the <\/span><b>\uc628\ub77c\uc778<\/b> <b>\uc9c0\uc6d0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button and then log in (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud68c\uc6d0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ub85c\uadf8\uc778<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

However, the format is rather simple, so it is not suitable for full-time jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your application is accepted, the manager or employer will contact you directly and explain how to proceed with an interview, or to provide other information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60734\" src=\"https:\/\/gogohanguk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scambio-linguistico-in-Corea-2.png\" alt=\"Computer on a desk at Starfield library in Seoul\" width=\"798\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gogohanguk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scambio-linguistico-in-Corea-2.png 798w, https:\/\/gogohanguk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scambio-linguistico-in-Corea-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/gogohanguk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Scambio-linguistico-in-Corea-2-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Find a part-time job in Korea through Craiglist and Peoplenjob<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Craiglist is an English online platform for foreigners, offering various services, including buying and selling items and job offers.
