MANY ARE INTERESTED IN JOBS AT BIG FIRMS
Some young people in South Korea like Ms. Han want to work for multinational corporations where they can make more money. The salary difference between small and large businesses has been nearly twice for a while.
This has led to a persistent labour shortage at tiny- and medium- small firms, which account for 80.9 per cent of employment, reported The Korea Herald next year.
According to experts, there is a needed to make fresh workers feel more secure because many of them prefer to concentrate on less-traditional types of work. They added that the existence of safety nets and a better support system may encourage them to look for work elsewhere for larger companies.
Part-time employment in the gig economy is on the rise, according to Dr. Lim Tai Wei, an alternative senior research fellow from the East Asian Institute at the National University of Singapore.
According to him,” This altering mode of work is definitely going to be increasing in number, following the example that you see in even more developed economy,” he told CNA’s East Asia Now program.
Ms. Han stated that she has primarily applied for positions in strategic planning and purchasing sales control as well as international sales jobs.
” Initially, I aimed for around 50 million won ( US$ 36, 300), but it’s rare for companies other than large corporations to offer such salaries. So I’m aiming for over 40 million gained, but I’m also applying to jobs with lower pay”, she added.
Additionally, Ms. Han’s struggled with personality assessments and artificial intelligence tests, which resulted in job disappointments from potential employers.
Some Asian companies require job seekers to pass English effectiveness exams in addition to these tests, which are used to determine whether a candidate fits the company’s culture.
