-Reporter Moon Hong-cheol
Due to the narrowing of the job openings, job seekers who lower their level of expectations than they want are being caught. In fact, it was found that 7 out of 10 job seekers lowered their eye level when applying for a job this year.
According to Sarain on the 19th, as a result of a survey of 1,116 job-seekers on the status of applications that lowered their eye level, 69.9% said that they had applied with a lower eye level this year.
It was counted that they applied for a job on average 16.6 times this year, and the average number of applications was 12.1 times with lower expectations. This means that 72.9% of the total number of applications for employment was lowered.
The condition for lowering the level of interest was ‘salary level’ (58.8%). Next, 'employment type such as contract workers' (35.8%), 'company type and size' (32.3%), 'location (region) and commuting distance' (30.4%), 'working environment such as overtime and weekend work' (21.3%) ), 'welfare benefits' (20.4%), and 'corporate awareness' (17.2%).

However, the companies that actually applied mainly were 'small and medium-sized enterprises' (63.5%), 'medium enterprises' (19.4%), 'startups' (5.6%), and 'public companies/public institutions' (5.6%), in that order. There were more job seekers who applied to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
74.8% of Oulo job seekers answered that they would “lower their eye level” in the future.
The most common reason for lowering the level of interest was ‘because I had to make money quickly’ (56.2%). Next, 'I don't think there will be many jobs in the future due to the deterioration of the business environment' (46.1%), 'I'm tired of long-term job search' (44%), 'I lack strengths such as specifications compared to others' (25%), 'Once I get a job, I It was because there were other opportunities such as job change or application for secondary and new recruits' (23.7%), and 'because I would apply for a job that did not match my major or experience' (11.9%).

On the other hand, job seekers (281 people) who answered that they would not lower their eyesight ranked first as the reason for this, 'I want to go to a place that I like for a long time' (57.3%).
Continuing, 'I just started looking for a job' (25.3%), 'the target companies hired me' (19.6%), 'I had conditions that I couldn't give up due to personal circumstances' (19.2%), 'specs, etc.' 'Because they have a stronger strength than others' (16%), and 'the industries they are targeting are in good business conditions' (12.8%).
