Common Terms Used on Job Sites


When searching for jobs on Korean websites, you’ll likely come across some unique terms that aren’t commonly used in everyday conversation. Familiarizing yourself with these ahead of time can make your job search smoother and more efficient! 😊

1️⃣ 신입[si-nip]: Entry-level

This refers to people with no prior work experience, including recent college graduates or those who have completed similar types of schools and are starting their careers.


2️⃣ 경력직[gyeong-nyeok-jjik]: Experienced

This refers to people with work experience in a specific field. If you’ve held a similar job in your home country, you would be classified as 경력직 in Korea.

3️⃣ 계약직[gye-yak-jjik]: Contract position

This refers to a job with a temporary or fixed-term contract.


4️⃣ 정규직[Jeong-gyu-jik]: Full-time position

These positions offer stable, long-term employment. Many 신입 employees start as 계약직 and transition to 정규직 after proving their skills.

5️⃣ 오픈[o-peun]: Opening

This refers to work hours that start before the store opens, including preparation time.

For example:

  • If a store opens at 9 AM, 오픈 employees might start at 8 AM to prepare.


6️⃣ 마감[ma-gam]: Closing

This means the hours worked after the store closes, including cleaning and closing tasks.

For example:

  • If a store closes at 9 PM, 마감 employees may work until 10 or 11 PM.


Familiarizing yourself with these terms will make it much easier to navigate Korean job sites and find the perfect job and position for you! 💼✨



We’ve explored how to navigate job sites and understand key terms, but there’s always more to learn when it comes to finding a job in Korea. Take your time reviewing this guide—it’ll definitely come in handy. 😁
