JobKorea will host the KLiK Happy Hour networking party for foreign jobseekers at the company's office near Seoul National University of Education Station in southeastern Seoul on Oct. 24, the recruitment platform operator said, Thursday.

The event is intended to teach foreigners looking for jobs in Korea how to use JobKorea's KLiK service, which displays job postings in various foreign languages. The service also shows the visa status, Korean fluency and education level needed for each job role.

JobKorea said that the event will help foreign jobseekers build personal networks and share information about how to find jobs here.

At the event, participants will enjoy food and drinks, fostering open conversations in a friendly atmosphere, according to JobKorea.

The participants will also receive goods promoting JobKorea and Albamon, its sister platform for those looking for part-time work.

"It is difficult for foreign jobseekers to search for job information online," said Chris Heo, who leads KLiK service at JobKorea.

"We hope the networking event will help foreign jobseekers obtain job information and communicate with their peers who have similar experiences."

Heo added that JobKorea will upgrade KLiK for foreign jobseekers to obtain the entirety of the job information, which is usually only available in Korean, through the service.

JobKorea also intends to facilitate meetings between foreign jobseekers and currently employed foreign nationals in Korea, as well as sessions with experts in IT, programming, marketing and international sales.
