When applying for Korean companies, the application documents usually include a Korean-style resume, a self-introductory essay, and a detailed project description. The resume should cover personal information, education, work experience, and certificates. The self-introductory essay can be a free-style essay or a questionnaire, often asking about your personality, application motives, and career plans.
