Trying to fix our meeting room audio Last month, my boss decided that our small conference room needed an upgrade for hybrid meetings. We had been using a standard laptop webcam for months, and honestly, it was embarrassing. Clients would ask if someone was whispering from a different room, or they’d complain that half the…
I remember sitting in a coffee shop in Gangnam three years ago, staring at the career page for Google employment opportunities, convinced that landing a role there was the ultimate validation of my professional life. After actually going through this process, involving multiple rounds of intense technical interviews and eventually realizing the environment didn’t quite…
The constant news cycle about tech hiring I keep seeing these headlines about how the big tech companies are shifting gears, and honestly, it’s giving me a headache. Every morning, I open my browser and there’s another report about JOLTS data or how some massive company is finally cooling off on their AI hiring spree….
When I first sat down in my early 30s to map out a path to the US, I had a neatly organized spreadsheet. I looked at everything from US investment options to standard employment visas, thinking that if I just checked the right boxes, the green card would be a logical conclusion. After actually going…
구인·이직보고서로 읽는 채용 시장의 온도 최근 테크 업계에서 이직을 고민하는 사람들은 단순히 채용 공고 수만 보는 것이 아니라 JOLTS(구인·이직보고서)와 같은 거시적인 데이터 흐름에 관심을 가지는 경우가 많아졌습니다. 특히 구인 건수가 시장 예상치인 700만 건 수준을 밑도느냐 상회하느냐에 따라 기업들이 신규 채용을 늘릴지, 아니면 긴축 모드로 돌아설지 결정되기 때문입니다. 실제로 빅테크 기업들이 AI 분야에 대규모 투자를…
The constant anxiety of visa status I remember sitting in a coffee shop in Gangnam, trying to finish a project while refreshing my email every ten minutes. It wasn’t even about a job offer. It was about the looming deadline for H1B visa petitions. I have a friend who was in the middle of this…
Why the job market feels like a weird loop right now I spent way too much time today reading about those JOLTS reports and the general mess of the current hiring market. It’s funny how everyone talks about AI like it’s this absolute machine that’s going to replace us, but then you look at the…
기본 양식과 구성의 차이 이해하기 외국계 기업이나 해외 취업을 준비할 때 가장 먼저 마주하는 벽은 국내 기업의 이력서 양식과 전혀 다른 영문 이력서(Resume/CV)의 형식입니다. 보통 국내 기업이 요구하는 사진, 생년월일, 가족관계 등 개인정보 위주의 항목은 영문 이력서에서 거의 제외됩니다. 오히려 직무와 관련된 핵심 역량을 요약한 ‘Professional Summary’ 섹션이 가장 중요합니다. 영문 이력서는 보통 1~2페이지 내외로…
Watching the feed turn into a ghost town of automation I opened my LinkedIn app this morning while waiting for my iced Americano at a local cafe. It cost about 4,500 won, which is standard, but the time I spent scrolling through my feed felt significantly more expensive in terms of patience. Everything looks the…
테크 업계에서 이직은 단순히 연봉을 올리는 수단 이상의 의미를 갖습니다. 특히 반도체나 기계 설계 분야에서는 사용하는 툴의 숙련도가 실무 투입 속도와 직결되기 때문에, 이직을 고민할 때 어떤 프로그램을 다루느냐가 생각보다 큰 변수가 됩니다. 많은 구직자가 현업에서 주로 사용하는 NX, 인벤터, 솔리드웍스 사이에서 고민하는데, 실제 실무 환경에서는 이 툴들이 생각보다 밀접하게 연결되어 있습니다. 만약 현재 인벤터를…
Why most professionals fail to leverage LinkedIn properly Many job seekers view LinkedIn merely as a digital version of their resume. They upload their work history, wait for recruiters to notice, and hope for an inbound message. This is a passive strategy that rarely yields results in a competitive market. A profile is just a…
When people talk about switching jobs in the tech industry, it always sounds like a polished chess game. You see stories about CEOs like Lisa Su revitalizing AMD or heavyweights moving from utilities to semiconductor giants, and you start to think that every career move is a calculated, strategic masterpiece. But after actually going through…
