8 SPEC (1)

 

There is a word 'Spec war'. As we are facing one of the worst job markets in years, applicants try to improve themselves continuously. Furthermore, people even make 8 spec (qualification) and spend lots of time on making preparations for 8 spec. So, in this time, let's see what 8 spec mean dividing into two posts.

 

 

1. Educational Background

 

 

 

 

Educational background is first one of 8 spec. Even though companies try to remove academic factionalism, it is still important part in Korea. However, as companies have expanded range of recruitment to employ local students and even employee with a high school diploma, it can be overcome if applicants make their own story.

 

 

2. Credits

 

With educational background, credit is second one of 8 spec. Through evaluating credits when applicants are university student, companies try to make a decision about applicant's sincereness and single-mindedness.

 

 

3. Toeic

 

 

 

 

The third one of 8 spec is TOEIC. Since English skills are essential in today's global era, English grade is necessary for recruitment. Even though the position is not needed to use English, they want to evaluate applicant's English skill because most of the companies are planning to extend their business abroad. Therefore, you have to prepare to get a good grade in TOEIC.

 

 

4. Certification

 

 

 

 



Fourth one of 8 spec is certification. To prove practical business fitness, applicants get certified such as computer certificate of qualification or other professional qualifications. When you try to get some certification, knowledge of position have to take precedence. I will post more information about certification later.
