By dress code

'Suit' means a dark solid suit with a light shirt or blouse. 'Business casual' means neat clothes without a jacket, such as a collared shirt or knit with slacks; avoid jeans and sportswear. 'Free attire' usually means everyday office wear.

Video interviews and rental

For AI or video interviews, choose solid colors that contrast with the background. Seoul's Job Wings program lends interview suits free to young job seekers; other local governments run similar schemes. Appearance should not be scored, and the Fair Hiring Procedure Act limits requests for physical details.
