Korea Career Advice: Sex Harassment Is Cool, Ladiesvery wide and pink women-only parking spots is now offering up a little career advice for the ladies: As the Korea Herald reports, South Korea's Labor Ministry—yes, the government body tasked with matters pertaining to its workforce—offered up some presumably well-intentioned tips for job seekers of the female persuasion, including "ideal answers" to interview questions. A few highlights:On sexual harassment: "I wouldn’t mind casual jokes about sex and it is sometimes necessary to deal with (sexual harassment) by making a joke in return."On marriage: "I have no interest in getting married for a while," even if she does have a trip down the aisle planned. The reason? "It is common for (many) female workers to quit their jobs after getting married."On having kids: "Although I have a responsibility as a woman to raise a child, I am more than willing to continue working (after having a baby) if the company recognizes (my abilities)."On sweating the small stuff: "I will do my very best even if it is just making a single cup of coffee."Korea Times writes that "we are at a loss for words how a government agency, which should take the lead in eliminating sexual harassment and discrimination at workplaces, could offer such obviously sexist guidelines." Or, as Jezebel puts it: "Ladies, be chill about sexual harassment."
