If you are looking for a job in Korea, here are five helpful prompts.
When you use AI, make sure you actually understand the Korean words it gives you. Don't just copy and paste everything! If the Korean sounds robotic or strange, the company will know you didn't write it yourself. AI is a tool to help you, but it shouldn't do all the work for you.
You can use tools like ChatGPT or Claude, but Gemini is a great choice because it’s free and easy to use especially if you already have a Google account.
