Think the government will automatically refund you if you just sit back and do nothing? Big mistake! If you don't prepare in advance, you might end up owing money. Here are the top 3 essential refunds for newcomers to secure right now. 1. If you rent, 'Monthly Rent Tax Credit' is a must This offers a significant tax deduction of 15-17%. It often doesn't show up on the year-end tax settlement simplified service, so make sure to have your lease agreement and proof of rent payment ready! 2. Prefer 'Check Card + Cash Receipts' over Credit Cards The deduction rate for check cards/cash receipts (30%) is double that of credit cards (15%). It's more advantageous to use a check card once you've spent 25% of your income. 3. Utilize Youth Pension Savings / Youth Leap Accounts These are fantastic products that help you save on taxes while building up your savings. Products like pension savings funds offer the most powerful benefits, with refunds of up to 16.5% of your contributions.

Finally got that first paycheck! A little in-game spending for yourself after all that hard work is okay, right? Don't underestimate it, here are some pro tips to enjoy smartly. 1. Don't 'Splurge' Your First Paycheck, Set a Hobby Budget If you splurge right from the first month, you'll be freaking out looking at next month's credit card bill. It's crucial to set a strict monthly 'gaming/hobby budget' and get into the habit of only spending within it. 2. Don't Spend Real Money, Use Your 'Playo Gems' First Before spending real cash, use up those Playo Gems you've collected from daily check-ins, quests, and community posts. The thrill of buying your desired package without spending real money is the best. 3. When Spending, Aim Only for 'Monthly Subscriptions/First Purchase Bonuses' One-time currency purchases are inefficient. The core strategy for low-spending users is to focus on cost-effective 'monthly subscriptions' or 'first purchase double bonus events'.

Just started a new job and struggled with what to write in Slack, KakaoTalk, or emails? Remember these tips! 1. Start with the Conclusion (Top-Down Approach) BAD: "Hi senior, about that document you mentioned last time..." GOOD: "Hi senior, here's the quote for Project A." Stating the conclusion first and then adding details helps the other person grasp the situation quickly. 2. Include 'Date/Version' in File Names Never send a file named 'report_final_reallyfinal.docx'. Instead, send it like this: '260818_ProjectA_Report_v1.0.docx'. Using the format [Date_TaskName_Version] makes it easy to find later and shows you're thoughtful. 3. Reply 'Confirmed' When You Read a Message Don't just read it and understand it in your head; ignoring it leaves the other person frustrated. If you've confirmed the content, leave a short reply like, "Got it. I'll get back to you after I've processed it!"

Sharing some realistic tips for fresh graduates who might be nervous before their first day at work! 1. Best Arrival Time: '10-15 Minutes Early' Instead of arriving exactly at the time guided by HR, aim to get there 10-15 minutes early. However, arriving too early, like 30 minutes or more, out of sheer enthusiasm can be burdensome or even rude to others, so it's best to just allow for a comfortable buffer. 2. Greetings: Start with a Simple 'Hello' or Nod' Greetings are the best, free self-promotion! But if introducing yourself as "New employee OOO!" feels too awkward or burdensome, you don't have to force it. A simple "Hello" or a nod while making eye contact with people you pass in the hallway or at their desks is enough to leave a good impression. 3. Always Memo Down Information Overload Whether it's PC settings, intranet, or company regulations, jot down what you hear on your first day immediately. Just the effort to avoid asking the same question twice will earn you significant trust from your mentor.
