Now, POSCO has opened its very own Linkedin page (www.linkedin.com/company/posco).

Through the page, POSCO will aim to build positive relations with all our important interested parties around the world and share up-to-date corporate news and product information. Also, POSCO plans to regularly update the valuable news and information about the steel industry so that it can strengthen its global status as a world-leading steel corporation.

Linkedin, the world’s largest business-dedicated social network service is being used by more than 200 million registered users globally. The majorities of people using the service aim to find jobs, employ new talents, seek business partners and open new overseas markets. It could be a great channel for POSCO to expand its network and communicate with the world.

Linkedin as explained above, let a corporation and its future employees communicate better in an effective way, and here’s another example. Linkedin collects data. Not just any data, but those useful data for your guarantee at a new job. Below is popular buzzwords analysis from previous years in total from different countries around the world, and another diagram shows only the example of US. Having more than 135 million members around the globe, Linkedin was able to track this list from one’s professional identity. One thing you must note here is that on your personal profile, words such as “creative,” “motivated,” “responsible,” and so on, should give a fact. Emphasizing only these words and describing yourself with such descriptions are only a cliché during recruitment at a big firm. POSCO also looks for individuals who are creative, motivated and responsible indeed, but we want more than just that, give us something that makes you stand out from the typical crowd, something “unique” about you as an individual. You can find out more on what POSCO looks for on these two posts: “Pursuing New Talent for POSCO” and “POSCO Abroad, And To Be Part of It”.

Of course, there are no particular restrictions given to those who have not graduated with degrees in HR, sales, marketing or finance. Yet we notify that in terms of specific skills such as machinery, electricity, chemicals, IE, resources, civil engineering or architecture, graduates may have an advantage.

Resume is POSCO’s First Insight to the Unique YOU

Recruiters read every single résumé and personal statements word by word. It is given that personal statements should be genuine and truthful. However, we advise applicants to keep away from the overly cliché or emotional stories. Instead, give us something that makes you stand out from the typical crowd, something “unique” about you as an individual.

“Carpe Diem,” as they say, but preparing and investing for your “Tomorrow,” will help you lead your future. A definite guarantee for the future can only lie on the people living the days of tomorrow. As briefly introduced above, your resume is what matters, as it’s our first contact with YOU. It’s not about “what” goes on your resume, but “how” much it reflects you. POSCO is willing to take that extra step with those who are ready and eager. Our doors are wide open, and it’s up to you to enter.
