Korea Unemployment Check-in Helper

Job search proof guide

Each method needs different papers on check-in day. This is taken from the 2026 Employment Dream Handbook and the employment center's first check-in training.

The proof items here come from the handbook and training material, not the law text. Centers can check things differently, so confirm at 1350.

In person interview

  • An interview confirmation written by the employer (one you wrote yourself is not accepted)
  • If you got a business card, keep it with the job posting (a card alone is not proof)

Application by mail

  • Registered mail receipt
  • The job posting

Application by fax

  • Fax transmission report
  • The job posting

Application by email

  • Sent mail details (a screen that shows the sender, the recipient and the date)

Work24 application
