So I�ve been applying for university jobs and a lot of them ask for things like �Proof of Employment� or �Employment Certificates.� I asked my previous school about that, if there was a specific form or something and they said �no they don�t have or have never heard of anything like that.�
I have signed and stamped letters of recommendation from my schools which talk about the dates I�ve worked. Will this suffice?

Those letters will likely work. Still it is a good idea to get the certifacte of employments.

Please search the board with this string in google.
site:forums.eslcafe.com/korea "Certificate of Employment"

It is has been discussed a few times before.

From the labor standards act (ministry of employment and labor):
www.moel.go.kr/english/download_eng.jsp?type=&file=(31)LABORSTANDARDSACT_2012.pdf

Article 39 (Certificate of Employment)

(1) If a worker makes a request to issue a certificate specifying term of employment, job specification, title and wages or other necessary information even after the retirement of the worker, the employer shall immediately prepare and issue the factually correct certificate.

(2) The certificate referred to in paragraph (1) shall only contain the items that the worker concerned has requested.

You're being served a BS sandwich. Everybody needs that form when applying for a credit card, and since most adult Koreans have 3,4, or 5 credit cards to their name it's practically impossible that they had never heard of it.

Contact the labor board as Ttompatz appears to be suggesting.
