Day Labor

1) Work

  When you go to the employment agencies at about 5:00 to 6:00 am, they will assign you a task. What you do is various because different tasks is assigned to employment agencies everyday. The main works are all those tedious chores, waterworks, mowing the lawn at the golf course, agriculture transportation and building the river bank in a field of construction. Tasks are easy but you should strain your bodies and lift heavy things.

** Tips for applying

 : Some employment agencies which are located near the industrial complex such as Ansan or Siwha usually assign you a factory work rather than public works. It could be less hard than other works.

2) Pay

  On average, you might be paid about 60,000KW to 100,000KW per a day work. But the employment agencies charge 10% commission under the pretext of brokerage charge. They pay a daily wage after the working in cash immediately.

3) How to get it?

  Visit the employment agency with your identification card in the morning or call the several agencies the night before and ask them is there a work tomorrow or not. You can go there personally or if there is a shuttle bus, you can take it.

4) Merits and Demerits

  One advantage is you can get a money immediately that day. There isn't any qualifying condition, of course mostly they only choose men^^;

  A fatal disadvantage is dangerous. You should strain your muscles and you're not sure which tasks you're gonna do. It could hurt your bodies when you lift heavy things if you don't have a knack. Besides, it's not a fixed income. You will be covered with dust and it's awfully cold on winter and terribly hot on summer.

5) Personal Opinion

  It's worth trying for young generation to study the life. But just during a short period! It's a good part-time job if you need money right now, but it's not good for your health in a long-term view. I recommend you another part-time jobs, indeed.
