A Unique Approach to Job Interviews
A women’s footwear brand named “Chaakan” has recently captured public attention after surprising job applicants who failed their interviews with a thoughtful gift of shoes. This unexpected gesture has sparked discussions and admiration across various platforms.
The story gained traction when an individual, who had been rejected by the company, shared their interview experience on social media. The person described the company as “the most impressive one during my job preparation process.” They applied to Chaakan in January but were ultimately not selected for the position. However, the company followed up with a message that left a lasting impression.
According to the message shared by the individual, the company wrote, “We deeply appreciate the courage and precious time you invested in applying to our company. Although we couldn’t move forward together this time, the sincere conversations we shared during the interview left a warm impression on us.”
The message continued, “As we craft shoes, we constantly reflect on how strong, beautiful, and sometimes fiercely challenging women’s steps toward the world can be. Though our journey together ends here, we sincerely support every path you will take from now on.”
It added, “With the hope that your future steps will be lighter and more comfortable, we would like to gift you a pair of shoes made with care. Please reply with your shoe size.”
The individual expressed emotional gratitude, stating, “I cried when I received the message. Thanks to this, I somehow landed a job at a decent company.” Their post received over 3.3 million views and became a viral topic online. Comments included, “I never expected an interview result message to be so touching” and “This is the first time I’ve seen such an interview review.”
A social media manager from the company shared the post, explaining, “Originally, there were no interview gifts, but I suggested it. I also wrote the text message. It’s embarrassing, like a diary being exposed, but I wanted to show it off.”
Commitment to Community
In addition to the unique approach to job interviews, Chaakan has also shown its commitment to the community. On the 8th, the company donated over 3,000 pairs of shoes worth approximately 100 million Korean won to economically vulnerable women to commemorate International Women’s Day.
