That's how I landed a nine-month contract job as an employment assistance counselor. When her contract ended, Johnson had learned enough about job searching to gain a permanent Department of Defense position as an equal employment opportunities assistant. You really have to learn the system, said Johnson. It has unlimited information that can assist in seeking employment. The employment assistance program has seven computers, three here and four in Hannam Village, the military family housing area in Seoul, to help clients in their job search.
People are more intimidated by computers.
But once you get your resume into the system, it's very easy. Johnson advises job seekers to fit their resumes to specific job qualifications. There may be 80-140 government positions open throughout South Korea at any one time, Clark said. The greatest percentages of people are looking for government service positions. Once you're in the GS system, it's easier to obtain employment after a permanent change of station move, you're working towards retirement, and you're obtaining regular promotions.
