According to data from JobKorea, a hiring platform, new resume registrations spike on the first day back to work after holidays such as Chuseok and Seollal. This trend is significant because it suggests that many Koreans are using the holiday break to reassess their careers and make a fresh start. As a result, the job market in Korea may experience a surge in activity and competition for available positions.
