Korean big business in an effort to embrace globalization required high English language skills among its new recruits. A Chosun Ilbo article notes that Korea's top firms require high English scores on tests like the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Test of English Proficiency (TEPS).
For example, Samsung Electronics asks for a score of at least 730 out of 990 in the TOEIC, 201 out of 300 in the TOEFL and 630 out of 990 in the TEPS.
LG Electronics requires at least 700 in the TOEIC, 210 in the TOEFL and 600 in the TEPS.
Hanjin Group, GM Daewoo Auto and Technology Company, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, KCC, and Hansol all require a minimum TOEIC score of 700.
