WE’VE all had our fair share of job interviews that have ended without a job offer.
The instant rejection can sting, and to add insult to injury, you’ve usually wasted hours of your time and money to get there.

But one woman has left the internet stunned after sharing what it’s like job hunting in South Korea.
Taking to social media, a young woman named Chee, revealed what job interviewing was like there – and it’s made Brits severely jealous.
She revealed that even turning up to the interview without getting the job comes with benefits.
She said: “Showing what I got from going to interviews in Korea.”
She first held up two envelopes filled with cash to thank her for her time and pay for her transport.
Another employee sent her a gorgeous thank you note in a box with a face mask.
But that’s not all, other job interviews handed her bags filled to the brim with skincare and beauty products.
Chee added: “I work in the K skincare industry. So almost all of the places that I go for interviews are to brands in Korea.
“This is why most of the stuff that I get from interviews is skincare and some of them are so nice to give you transportation money as well like this.”
She was also handed health supplements as well as hand-packed snacks.
Finishing the post, she added: “Thank you for trying to make our job searching phase better.”
The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @cheesecakeday with over 253k views and 26k likes.
Many took to the comments in awe of Chee, and Brits revealed they were jealous of the treatment.
One person wrote: “European here: I finally got an answer from a job I applied for in January, it was a no.”
Another commented: “In the UK you either get ghosted or given a large dose of trauma… I’m so jealous.”
“In England, they ask you your current salary and then proceed to low ball you because they offer great benefits like pizza Fridays,” penned a third.
The 4-second rule
It’s the big day – you’ve done all the preparation you can, all you need to do now is walk into the job interview and shine.
But those pesky nerves creep in, and you’re afraid your mind might go blank at a crucial moment.
According to MacRae, mental prep helps just as much as prior notetaking about the role.
He suggests a simple four-second rule that can help “reset your system” by quickly slowing your heart rate and lowering your cortisol – the stress hormone.
“There is strong evidence that techniques like box breathing works, in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4,” says MacRae.
“Just a few rounds before the interview can help you relax.”
If you want this technique to be really effective – it’s best to start practising it now.
“The more you practise calming techniques before you need them, the easier they are to activate under pressure,” MacRae explains.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Wait wait wait wait… wait. Not so fast.. rewind…. THEY… PAID YOU?”
“Is this legit?! Shocked honestly. We’re lucky in Europe if they even reply to your email,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “In the UK they forget to contact you to make a job offer.”
